To collect and distribute taxes and provide services such as free Medicaid gender surgery.

They're sterilizing the poor, rob.

Health insurance and its relationship to our employers has always been about crushing the poor, but with extra steps

I say cover everything that doctors say is necessary for a patient's well being, no questions asked by any elected official

Medicaid isn't employer insurance.

No, but it's generally gonna be means tested, which makes it related to income.

In my state Medicaid completely covers everything, including multiple day hospital stays, cancer treatment, all forms of mental health treatment, and any medical issue I’ve ever heard of

No co-pays, no deductibles, and the most widely accepted insurance (more than Medicare and private insurance) because it pays so well and reliably

But believe whatever bullshit you want

Does it mean that the poor get far better health insurance coverage than the middle class? Like it’s not even a remote comparison. And that’s a fact

There are lots of ways the poor gets hosed, but if you try to claim it’s a lack of health insurance I’m gonna call that as complete bullshit every time

Edit: the claim can’t even be made that the process to get on Medicaid is too difficult for poor. Hospitals, ER’s, and some doctor’s offices have emergency applications they can do on the spot for anyone who can qualify. Why do they do it? Because they want to get paid

In Texas, Medicaid covers nothing

Overall coverage of gender-affirming care:

Given their lower incomes, Medicaid plays an important role in health coverage for transgender people.

As detailed below, many state Medicaid programs cover aspects of gender-affirming health services. However, only two of the 41 states responding to this survey, Maine and Illinois, reported covering all five services. Two states, Alabama and Texas, reported they do not cover any of these services under Medicaid.
