>How can we get coverage to the poorest people effectively? Reform the entire economy so there aren't 10s of millions of people who can't afford health care insurance. The current medicaid solution for the poor is a joke like all governmental welfare programs for the poor, they exist so that the rich can benefit from this distribution of taxpayer dollars (like snap/food stamps, section 8 housing, etc..), meanwhile it gives the politicians enough examples of success to point at and pat each other on the back. Meanwhile for the poor who need these services, because to these services often function more like a lottery which you may or may not get the benefits, rather than acting as a program you can depend on.
