Who the hell is getting "free health care" until they're 26? If you come from a low-income family, there's a damn good chance you're uninsured.

- Vaslo 7y agoThey have something called Medicaid, you should go read about it before you fall for the NYT agenda. It’s the people in the middle that get screwed, and it’s not just a republican issue
- seppin 7y ago> It’s the people in the middle that get screwed Medicaid doesn't cover even a majority of lower income or younger Americans.
- fzeroracer 7y agoI don't know about you, but I grew up dirt poor and on Apple Health (WA's version of Medicaid) which did the bare minimum for my health. Not to mention it had zero dental coverage at a time when I was going to college with teeth quite literally rotting out of my head, broken down to the gums and with occasional abscesses. And that's only because my parent's combined income was effectively $0, because neither of them could work due to severe disability. You can look at the income limits [1] and see that you basically have to be living in abject poverty in order to qualify. So I'd advise you to actually experience it before telling others to read about it.
