I have been somewhat forced onto Medicaid and have been helped by it. I try not to abuse it and have turned down services in order to hopefully allow others to benefit from it- this may seem very naive to many. There are times when I am able pay something towards my own care- not much, but something. Unfortunately there is no way to do this without signing up to one of the overpriced insurance plans available- something which I am not yet able to sustain long term. I was not brought up to "take advantage" of the system and yet am unable to contribute to it within the confines of the system itself. The ACA was a good start and needed to be re-evaluated. Whatever they come up with next will also need to be constantly re-evaluated. I hope they find a way to allow me access to the little bit of health care I require at this time and allow me to be able to give back what I can. I am doubtful that they will get it right this time or even the next, but I hope they will find some new ideas.
