I guess this joke is to USA for me to understand
Medicaid is something that you have to be quite poor to get. It means you are poor enough that the government pays for 100% of your medical care. In the US it is a shame to be poor. It means you are a garbage human being who didn't try and is now leaching off the rest of us. Yes its a garbage country.
I appreciate your commitment to the satire but fuck this hurts to read as someone whose family has used Medicaid in the past.
My family is on Medicaid NOW. My wife stopped being medically able to work years ago but magically doesn't qualify as disabled enough to get any help of any kind. We lost our house because of that and legal fees fighting for my mother in law whose family members were abusing her financially and physically and its just been kind of downhill from their financially.
Terrible to hear man. But you aren't garbage people and I don't think of you so. Hope things get better.
Lol it wasn't until I was an adult that I knew you had to be low income to be on Medicaid. I was on it my whole childhood, plus on and off the free school lunch program
Agreed it's a trash country. But there's many reasons why people could qualify for Medicaid. In better countries where medical care is free, where do you think the money comes from? Taxes obviously. We all pay for it.
Unless this is just a troll response. In that case, disregard this.
Edit: where I live isn't perfect (nowhere is, unless you're in Ba Sing Se) and there's a lot of trash aspects of where I'm from as well.
i think its from usa
to add to the other comments, i qualified for Medicaid in the past only because my annual income was under 14400 per year. you have to be POORpoor. like "how are you alive" poor.
