They won't be missing much even if private enterprise does not pick up the slack.

This thread has a whole bunch of SMH going on,..
Bill hasnt even made it to the Senate and everyones an expert.
Healthcare is nothing more than taking 20% of the US economy and controlling it via the government..
If there was cure for any illness, someone would squash it because its not profitable.
CONTROL. Nothing more.

I don't know what the answer is, but there are plenty of people who game the system.

Get pregnant, get WIC/SNAP (food etc moneys). Government pays for birth and anything for Baby for specific amount of time. Women doesnt get married, but "rents" room from Baby Daddy, who is living in his Mommas house.. So, they get welfare, medicare, snap/wic etc etc. Its a lucrative business when you dont pay rent, food, car, insurance etc etc cause you are living in Babby Daddys Mommas house, and get bennies from the system, and then earned income tax credit at the end of the year..

We were talking about medicaid, I have no desire to turn this into some kind of indictment of the entire welfare system.

He didn't look old enough. He is in the 50-64 category.

I know a youngish guy, early 40 who after a failed internet business refused to apply for any job. Yet his able body is working in the soup kitchen. He graduated with an engineering degree from UCLA. Go figure.
