Listing these programs in such a way essentially blames these people for not having healthcare. In reality, these programs barely accomplish their goals, because the mental overload of
1) being aware of their existence
2) knowing you're eligible and
3) fulfilling all the bureaucratic requirements
makes the utility of these programs by the old, poor or young incredibly difficult.
- willcipriano 5y agoTens of millions of Americans already participate in these programs, nearly a third of the population. People deeply concerned with the healthcare in the US could assist in educating others about the options available to them as well as navigating the bureaucratic red tape. I never see this sort of messaging from these groups though, likely because it weakens their argument. Rather perversely it may be that they would allow the truly sick to suffer needlessly in hopes of obtaining socialized medicine for themselves.
