Glad you ask, yes, Medicaid can charge a premium in addition to allowing co pays. On November 25, 2008, a new federal rule was passed that allows states to charge premiums and higher co-payments to Medicaid participants.

The middle class is not being destroyed by entitlements. You tried to make a point and used fake numbers to make it, so it blows your whole argument out the window.

The liberals want to tax employer-sponsored medical plans to help fund Obamacare and then argue its not income. Love it.

Anyone notice the change on the W2 form this year?

You're missing the point, we do want the OP to include employer supplied health benefits as income.

Gotta luv the wingnut mind, in one thread they argue the the wealthy taking wealth out of the economy doesn't make poor people poorer and at the same place in time they can argue that the poor receiving government aid is stealing from the middle class. Funny they're wrong on both counts.

That's the disposable income that allows one to buy designer shoes and iPhones.

I mean when you see a 12 year old wearing Air Jordans and getting the free lunch you just know something is not right.
If anyone is seen wearing way over priced shoes & whatever then they should be reported to see if they are on public assistance or not.

I was referring to those who don't want to include the value of benefits as income at all. If you include them on one side they count on the other.

WhyTF does a family of four earning minimum wage pay $725 in Mississippi income tax?

that's conservative math for you.
