When the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was enacted in 2010 it required all states to expand their Medicaid programs to include people with incomes slightly higher than those allowed under traditional Medicaid, as well as groups, like childless adults, that had not previously been covered. In 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that forcing States to expand their Medicaid coverage was unconstitutional. Since then 22 states have expanded their coverage and more than 35 have opted not to do so. Proponents of the expansion argue that it will lower healthcare costs for everyone by reducing the number of Americans without health insurance. Opponents argue that states should be allowed to run their own Medicaid programs without the intervention of the federal government.

Yes, but only for citizens of the United States

Yes, protecting life of people is fungtion of government.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, It is the role of the country to protect the people's right to life.
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
Yes, but only after we eliminate our deficit
@937LQYX2yrs2Y
Yes but through health care vouchers that can be used in an open and competitive health care market.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Abolish both Medicaid and Medicare.
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
Yes, I support the funding for both low income and middle income citizens.
@92HLYZH2yrs2Y
No, government should not be involved in healthcare unless it applies to federal employees.
@6VWJ8PP2yrs2Y
Regardless, the federal government should work with states to close the coverage gap and improve cost
@92DY93W2yrs2Y
I believe there should be a system of record for those using Medicaid and who are actively seeking employment. There should be criteria that go along with Medicaid.
@92BG2S62yrs2Y
Yes, but only for individuals who are physically unable to work, disabled, or elderly
@929CT9N2yrs2Y
@9285GDC2yrs2Y
its broken, its helpful but its built to keep the poor poor
@9268RLG2yrs2Y
Listen man I think they should support the low income people that cant help much they make not the bums that sit on the couch and do whatever they want to do.
@9242PT92yrs2Y
Yes, however, the person needs to get back on their two feet in a timely matter so that they no longer need the medicaid.
@922ZMRF2yrs2Y
It should stay as it is
@8M258QP2yrs2Y
Yes - for the elderly, disabled, and those with serious health conditions such as cancer
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Regardless, everybody needs to know how to spend less money while still living well. Perhaps all people reveieing government aid should be required to take a quiz on finances, take a course if their quiz score is too low, and manage their finances with certain criteria to ensure they are only getting as much help as they really need.
@85QWNPG2yrs2Y
No, we have more than enough spending in this sector and need to merely restructure the entirety of our system away from benefitting insurance companies and rather control the prices for life saving procedures, drugs and cover all people equally and without direct payment at the time of suffering.
@8Z9R7P22yrs2Y
Yes, but only increase children under 14 years old, the elderly and disabled.
@ThomasJj882yrs2Y
Free healthcare for all citizens while also allowing the option of private care.
@8YJG6ZH2yrs2Y
Once again, This is pointless. Health care is a scam.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should reform the current system to provide consistent and reliable healthcare to all citizens, and increase funding only for those in need of coverage, such as the elderly, disabled, and families with children. Other than that, we should also put more money towards unemployment and getting people into jobs.

No, the system is to help only those in need of coverage, such as the elderly, disabled, and families because they cannot do so by themselves. Increasing this will only encourage more to people to manipulate the system to benefit themselves when they are not the ones who need it. Therefore, we need a comprehensive plan to provide consistent and reliable healthcare to all citizens.

The solution to our lack of adequate healthcare for our citizens is more complicated than increasing funding for one program. We need a comprehensive plan to provide consistent and reliable healthcare to all our citizens.

Yes, but only to those who actually are in need of it. Don't just give it out to just anyone. It shouldn't be something that's used unless needed in certain circumstances. However, we should let each state decide their own healthcare coverage.

Yes, but only to those who actually are in need of it. Don't just give it out to just anyone. There needs to be legitimate reason for a person to receive free health insurance. It shouldn't be something that's used unless needed in certain circumstances. However, we should let each state decide their own healthcare system and coverage.
