Poor people should make more money? Why didn't they think of that? Honestly I'm giving your posts deeper consideration than they deserve, but you should know that a majority of people on Medicaid have jobs and nearly 8 out of 10 are at the very least, in working families. Some jobs do not offer employer subsidized coverage, nor do they pay enough for employees to seek their own coverage. These are still jobs that society evidently wants done though. And since we are a nation that avails emergency care and live saving care to people, regardless of whether or not they can pay for it, not accounting for these people in some way is something of a public hazard, and certainly fiscally irresponsible. Perhaps you're of the mindset that we should only be offer live saving care to those who first proofs that they can pay for it. If that's your stance, go ahead and say that. Really though, maybe don't participate in a thread about healthcare if it's a topic that disinterests you. |
Poor people should try to make more money if they want to buy things. Yes, it's that simple. It's not society's problem or burden if they can't. What disinterests me is the narrative that they can't better themselves by trying harder and being smarter with their choices. What I propose would ultimately help them versus having a bunch of programs that will keep them poor by incentivising it if the benefits are too good which they often are. People in general are better off figuring out how to improve their situations versus becoming dependent on the government.
Here's a vid that goes a bit into that.
