It does. My state, Texas, doesn't want to play along. We also have the highest rate of uninsured.

Uh, yeah your state Texas (my state too) didn't want to "play along" because we all knew exactly what was coming down the pipe...

So far just this year more than 45,000 illegal alien children have been basically dropped off in our state like stray dogs and left to fend for themselves. Every single one of them is now being coached on what to say and what to do in order to stay in the great old USA forever. Why should the tax payers of this state like myself be expected to pay for the cost associated with taking care of these kids when the President and his team have done very little if anything to stop them from flowing in?

Show me a single law that forbids a person from buying private insurance and forces said person to take Medicaid.

Your assertion is quite false in 20 states.

The law of economics says that if your income is too low to afford buying private insurance,
the fact that private insurers demand cash up front pretty much prohibits you from buying it.

Every single one eh? Puh-lease. If you're that gullible then you should contact me about this property I'm renting...

Texas would fall apart without that illegal labor.

Also if you just got back from Iraq (like me) or Afgan. treatment is free (for most things) for the next 5 years with free Dental for 3 months then after that unless its service connected you have to pay.

Healthcare coverage for the "poor' was never the intent of ObamaCare. Control, and more money for the Federal bureaucrats to dole out as they see fit, was.

In other words, taking even more money out ot the hands of the private sector was always the goal, and putting the Federal government in charge of a major part of your life.

Finally, a truthful answer. Bet the sheep will never buy it, their handlers told them different.

??? Before Obamacare, most poor adults did not get HC through Medicaid because they were not eligible. Under Obamacare, in most states these same uninsured adults STILL do not get HC through Medicaid. Where do people get the idea that they do?
The question is, where do YOU get the idea that the poor do NOT get Medicaid?

Do you have ANY idea what Medicaid is? I doubt it.

Before ACA to get Medicaid in Michigan you had to be poor......and if you were an adult....disabled.

Now....it is JUST income.....not assets.
