ORIGINAL: subrob1967 Prove it's better coverage... Medicaid is pretty shitty "insurance". Unless you're so fucking broke, you have a zero spend down. If you have coverage now, it's the same coverage, only with better cost controls, lower costs for preventative care, no discrimination against patients with pre-existing conditions, and coverage for your kids up to age 26. If you have no coverage now, it's coverage. Both ways sounds like better coverage to me. For what it's worth, I'm on one of those high-risk pools the ACA is requiring states to have for patients with pre-existing conditions. It's the best insurance I've ever had, better than any of the employer-based ones I've been on as an adult. And because it's not employer-based, I have the freedom to become an entrepreneuer instead of a desk-monkey.
