Years ago when I was in college I worked the reception desk in the ER at Mt. Carmel Med. Ctr. weekends midnight shift.
I particularly remember on person who came in for a 'headache'. She was given a work-up and and CT scan (just in case there was a bleed). She was discharged with aspirin. BTW the insurance she presented was a green (at that time) Medicaid card. Most expensive aspirin ever. And the CT tech who got called in for the scan was not too happy either......

I didn't say anything of the sort. I think you read something into what I wrote.
The way I saw it go down was like this.
Reba posted a laundry list about our modern generation. To which I agree.
My intended reply was that her list was not justification to deny healthcare to those in need.
Perhaps this is where you side tracked. I am talking about th ACA and basically having it repealed. I am not talking about services outside the ACA.
I do not disagree that there is medical help for the poor outside the ACA.
Now that you know what I'm talking about, please address it accordingly.

The aca,since you mentioned medicaid expansion woukd require in 2019 my state to Fully fund medicaid with No federal help.
The state budget isn't even 100 billion ,that math of extending 60 precent of that on indegent care to those who the state doesn't consider indigent is impossible.
60 billion goes to less then a few hundred thousand .

It's hard to be considered poor in my state but you get the idea of the sheer costs.
You wanted numbers for the price of medicaid expansion, there you have it.if you dint want to take my word for what this ssg retired has seen with millenials so be it.you can't ask my state to cover all and not raise taxes to unsupported level.you the tourist pay most if that budget. Sales taxes would have to go up.
Orlando is already at 12 percent.

My point is the government cant, it just cant.. The government is bound by too many rules/regs.. as in one size fits all.
The drug users eat up a lot of healthcare monies... Just maybe if they had to pay out of pocket for care they would think twice.. My daughter has used up some where around 6 rehabs at some one else's expense . the safety nets quickly become traps... she finished 1
example... Last winter she slipped on ice...bad wrist sprain... went to ER xrays exam they gave her a removable brace ... she chose not to use it.. slipped again ice skating in a couple weeks.. more damage more xrays more monies she did not pay... this time cracked ...
She sells and trades her 'meds' this is just one small example...
Some where the tax payer should have the right to say NO more. Not for real health care But for the abuse.
Running off with the rent monies she jumped out a window broke her arm taxpayers again got the bill . Sadly there are more

You can't force help on an addict; until they hit bottom and decide they want help there is little you can do for them.....except try to make sure they don't hurt others and pray for them.

Te top tax rate is 39.6 percent and Texas has an eight and a quarter percent sales tax but these are taxes we see and there are so many more hidden taxes we are paying without knowledge available about them. The farmer of wheat must pay the tax on the sales of his product and the Driver Taxes pays on his income plus the Toll Road charges, tax, from hauling that load to the Mill and then the Miller pays his income tax on his profit and all of these taxes are steadily increasing the end cost of a sack of flour. Then another 18 wheeler, both of the trucks hiking the Tax tax rate bing paid be3cause of the gas tax and the big one, the Federal Excise Tax on those eighteen Tire that the Highway is grinding them down to be slicks. When the Bakery bakes the Bread that e paid the Sales tax on every product he uses in he bread and the wrapper the bread must be in to preserve the freshness of it so he adds more to the price of it to cover the sales tax and his income and FICA Taxes and then I purchase the 10 or fifteen cent loaf of bread for a buck and a quarter and they charge me 8,25% tax on the price that as exploded because of the taxes on the taxes already paid to both the state, local and federal taxing agencies. Our forefathers had the Boston Tea Party over taxes, ad what do we do when we are over three hundred million strong? We sit down and we take it.

They might now but the only real problem drivers had here was Texas began using the point system and if you get 12 points in a year, the state removes Your license. Loose it twice and you loose your license forever. that is not true fr te Kamakazi four wheelers except the drive under the influence three times and the rich go to court with their high dollar lawyers and they still drive drunk.
