(57,139 posts)In civilized states, the poorest Americans receive Medicaid, or they will until 2026. In my state, a household of two is eligible for Medicaid if they make less than $43k. The poorest Americans dont need ACA. Its middle incomes that do. ACAs purpose is to lower insurance costs and to keep Americans from going bankrupt because they get ill. Its not perfect by any means, but it was the best they could get at the time. If the electorate had the good sense to vote for Democrats in sufficient numbers at the federal level, it could be greatly improved. Instead, theyve put Trump and his party of MAGAT clowns in power, and all they do is shit all over ACA while offering no substitution. They dont give a shit if you die. Trump laughs at his supporters because they are stupid enough to believe he gives a damn about them.
Meanwhile, they funnel government subsidies to billionaires, but you dont complain about that. Instead you resent anyone making $41K not going bankrupt.
