If you're poor you just wait until you're borderline dying and then go to the E.R. and get charged $120,000 and then never pay it and then have debt collectors

If you're poor you just wait until you're borderline dying and then go to the E.R. and get charged $120,000 and then never pay it and then have debt collectors calling you for the rest of your life.
Or you're on Medicaid if you live in a sane state.
- trollbridge 11mo agoMedicaid is available in all 50 states.
- yunwal 11mo agoIt is not available to all poor people in all states https://www.cbpp.org/research/health/the-medicaid-coverage-gap https://www.cbpp.org/research/health/the-medicaid-coverage-g...
- trollbridge 11mo agoAll the non-expansion states make it available too; just at a lower income threshold or other requirements. Making a statement that most poor people in America can’t get epi-pens is false. Most poor people can for free.

- trollbridge 11mo agoI guess it depends on how you define “poor” and “uninsured”. Considering most of America offers Medicaid expansion or ACA plans, being uninsured is basically a choice.
