    Sorry, my friend, I think you misunderstand. Perhaps it depends on your definition of poor, but the poorest in our society receive Mediciad in every state.https://twitter.com/TerriLynn510/status/943877327263600642 …

    You are wrong. Not all states can afford to offer Medicaid to all poor ppl. Many go with put ins & the ability to see a dr.

        The working poor make too much to qualify for Medicaid, especially in states that refused the ACA Medicaid expansion, and they certainly can't afford to buy health insurance.

        Many people pay through the nose for "insurance" but don't go to the doctor because their premiums, co-payments, deductibles, outs of pockets, etc. are so prohibitive,

        So, u highlight a pet peeve of mine- define “poor”. Travel with me to Mexico or Argentina and see people living in squaller, under highway overpasses and the favelas of Brazil. Then tell me what poor is...I’m NOT saying there are not needy in this country, I’m echoing ur point

        Sigh...im not saying that the "poor" here don't have the same as underdeveloped countries. My point is our lowest to non income here in the US is far above the levels of those around the world. And yes part of my family is from Mexico and I've seen it there & in Somalia

        It’s a shame that many do not think for themselves and get their news from CNN and the local bars. Pointing out the truth further enrages some people too. Just a shame.

        Again if you READ. I said ALL poor. Here in Oklahoma if you're not visually impaired,pregnant or have minor children, you dont qualify. Many states can not AFFORD TO COVER ALL THE POOR
