Every time they speak it's clear they have no idea how the working poor live. No one goes on Medicaid until they are sick or injured. There are no monthly payments. It reimburses medical care. People, both working and not, use Medicaid because they don't have the money for health insurance.

Reps are clearly the most hateful of beings. They want no one to have anything of value, including peace of mind. Just absolutely disdainful skin bags, the Rs are.

"6.1 hours of TV?" That is weirdly specific. Also, are these numbnuts under the impression that Medicaid pays for your rent and food?

Some of them, yes. But something I left out, Medicaid does not give money to patients. They pay medical providers.

What exactly does “Dr.” Oz think Medicaid IS??? And how exactly does being on Medicaid allow someone to not work?

Has it occurred to that ASSHOLE that MEDICAID is for the working poor AMERICANS. He wouldn't know what that means..

They can only relate to themselves. With his bottle tan, Botox, filler, hair implants and TRT, it would not occur to him that there are honest people who need financial support just to stay alive.

In my opinion Dr. Oz, once a REAL doctor who saved actual lives, lost all sense of ethics, responsibility, and his Hippocratic oath the moment he began to play a hack doctor on TV. All you need to be in this current “administration” is the semblance of a television career to lend you credibility.

With my anxiety and depression, I could work 60+ hours a week at multiple jobs, doom scroll on my phone while watching 8+ hours of TV, & short myself the necessary sleep needed to be sane! I know this for a fact because I loved it for 10 years!

*lived it. And I was pregnant. I tried to get private health insurance but nobody would cover me. I ended up on Medicaid for the pregnancy and I’m glad I was on it because 30 years ago, it cost $142,000 for my high risk pregnancy and I almost died.

The gobsmacking reek of privilege. Let’s take away all their taxpayer-funded health care and see how they do. Oh! They’d be fine. They’re rich. Profit in health care and insurance is one of the great evils.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. My "local" hospital is the only one within 70 miles. Critical Access Hospital, relies on Medicare, and with the economy what is is here *everyone* has Medicaid, so even with the CAH money they couldn't survive.
