Nice to know we raised the poverty level by 400% to 90K for families so more able-bodied people can get on Medicaid and ride the new welfare gravy train in my opinion.


Those who needed treatment and were truly poor got treatment under the old system. The handicapped got their treatment, checks, and subsidized housing etc., and the new system didn't do the poor any favors no more than the middle class. The truly poor can barely make the premiums on the ACA, now throw in the thousands of dollars high deductibles to those same people! The middle class are taking a huge hit paying their own way, they don't want to be on the government gravy train, but looking at their premiums and deductibles which go up by double digits every year, the government will force them if the 90K doesn't entice them!

Now throw in the states slapping 40%+ increases this year on the ACA as the feds cease subsidy amounts and states take over, as many private insurers walk away. Many states will be hurt as well.
