    The expansion of medicaide, was the elimination of the means testing of RESOURCES. Thus, while it used to mean only 15oo in resources from all areas, to include your transportation, it is now only based on your INCOME.

    So, the right wing, and Republicans, want those who get dread news of a new life threatening CHRONIC illness, to be CUT off, for six months, IN CALIFORNIA, and likely a year elsewhere, if more than 1500 dollars in resources are present. Thus, if you get a chronic diagnosis, you must impoverish yourself, THEN SURVIVE for six months, to reapply.

    This is torture, and cruel. IT makes those that get dread illnesses, a VICTIM, an impoverished one. IT also impoverishes WHOLE families, thus making the whole family the victim. And, if you don't have family, that will take you in, on the street, with a chronic life threatening illness.

    Thus, the only help you can get, is STABILIZATION, in the ER. Which is by federal unfunded mandate, put in place by REAGAN.

    Thus, the right wing, and Republicans, use the UNFUNDED federal mandate, to supplant personal responsibility, that requires medical insurance, to those that can afford it.

    So, to remain consistent, in their IDEOLOGY, they thrust an unfunded federal mandate, and in doing so, bankrupt our medical system of last resort, and the trauma capability of our entire country.

    THIS IS WHACKED. Short sighted, and cutting off our noses to spite our faces.

    This is the very definition of Right wing solutions.

    The OP is the very definition of left wing talking points that is to say overblown hyperbolic hysteria leavened with horsecrap designed primarily to fool the stupid and the unwary.

    You live in Cali-for-welfare, just don't move and you'll be just fine as long as you keep your income under the poverty schedule! What is it now for the golden state now, six figure ;)

    It would revert to 1500 dollars from all sources, to include your car.

    Why is that? Those getting tax breaks aren't capable of lobbying to get free stuff, like us poor? I'll tie one typing hand behind my back, if you need social promotion.

    Tax cuts are keeping more of my wealth that the government steals from me. People on welfare are doing nothing but stealing my wealth.

    I don't hate them but they should not have the right to vote.

    Just ran the enrollment numbers for my Moms zip and a guy my age with a wife same age making 50k a year "Reported" can get Anthem for $50 a month. Then again you stated awhile back you had qualified for state disability so what's your worry living in California? In that state it's the same as winning the friggin lotto lolol

    So in your opinion not taking money out of working people's paychecks and giving it to you is "torture and cruel." But taking other people's money for you is nice.

    Your problem is easily solved. Send a letter to Soros, Gore and Clinton telling them how much you need. They are all super rich and would gladly send you the money - particularly Clinton since she has that multi-billion dollar charity fund. It would take you FAR less time for you to write and send those letters than the time you spend crying and ranting on the forum.

    If I remember correctly, the OPer needs his money to fix his motorcycle and to travel, so you and I are being torturous and cruel not want to pay his medical bills.

    Yes but then I'd have to be a believer now wouldn't I :) This is one of those rare occasions I find myself siding with my leftist religion bashers and denounce the idea of God, Jesus and all that charitable non-sense!
