I think as usual …. the liberal fraction in here in their haste to support any government hand out .. . fails to see the point.
If a couple of age to get Medicaid, has an income of $64,000 per year, should be able to afford insurance without government help. Chances are good that their kids are grown and on their own, their house is paid for. That $64,000 income should well be able to afford their own insurance.
I never supported making people pay for their own insurance to begin with. Our health care system would be so much more efficient if, at the very least, we had a public health insurance option.
I'm not sure where liberals will stop with their living off of other people, but lets take into consideration that the average income in the US is around or under $50,000 a year, now you are expecting those people earning $50,000 a year to pay for retired people health care while they are earning $64,000 a year ???
I'd be thrilled if everyone paid for everyone's health insurance. Or perhaps a two-tiered public/private health insurance system.
