I'm pretty sure you are talking about Medicaid....so...consider changing your OP pleaseMedicaid basics Medicaid provides health coverage for some low-income people, families and children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Medicaid programs must follow federal guidelines, but they vary somewhat from state to state. https://www.healthcare.gov/do-i-qualify-for-medicaid/

WTF? The DUmmies are cheering because one of them are so poor that they qualify for medicaid? They probably qualify for food stamps and section 8 housing, too.

Medicaid isn't, either, if you are over 55 years of ageYou risk your estate, and yes, many poor people DO have assets, when you sign your name in blood to get Medicaid coverage. Lots of luck getting any doctor who will see you. Many if not most will not see Medicaid patients.
The OP never came back to his own thread.
