The pro-life party when it comes to a fetus ~ NOT living human poor people.

If they had the proper insurance, savings, and planning, then they would be well-positioned to overcome something like that. I've lost a home to a forest fire and I didn't have to go on Medicaid. What a stupid association.

The OP's insinuation, which started this thread was that if we don't expand government continually, peopel DIE!

This thread is not about people who lose their possessions to natural disasters, but about people who do not take care of themselves, and make poor life-choices believing that we, the taxpayer should take care of them.

How ludicrous that this even has to be debated.

They chose not to have insurance or otherwise protect against such contingencies. Maybe they wanted to use the premium money on prostitutes or drugs. Regardless of their reason, it isn't my job to fix everything that goes wrong in everyone's lives, nor is it the government's.

I thought ACA plans were going to take care of everyone, make insurance coverage affordable?

I guess you don't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid! Google it!

Is this a serious thread or sarcastic one?

“Free money”...of my increased premium, as liar Obama increased our premium, took my plan and lied about the $ 2500 savings families would get!

No, they choose to not educate themselves and do drugs and drink. Then they wonder why they are poor.

And, then play the victim card and expect everyone else to take care of them.
