If you are making double the minimum wage, you are still
eligible for
Medicaid.

Wow... that means you're rich and have no problem supporting
yourself,
because the min. wage is a true living wage. NOT

I responded to your minimum wage note,

I still say, if you are too broke to pay your bills, how can you
afford to support a banker/insurance company and still pay your
bills.

You claimed that somehow someone who makes twice the minimum age
shouldn't
be eligible for Medicaid. I called you out on that.

I just said they were eligible. I made no judgement beyond that. Read
it again. It is on top right now.

So, what were you trying to point out? Why the comment? What does
double the
minimum wage have to do with Medicaid?

You said a "minimum wage" person could not afford to set up a HSA.

No I didn't. Feel free to quote me.

Who's talking about supporting banker/ins. companies?????

That is the effect of wanting "dollar zero" insurance because you
can't manage to save enough to even pay a minimal amount of doctor
bills. It is just fiscal lunacy, much the same as saying you are too
broke to pay your bills so you charge up your credit cards.

Who's advocating dollar zero insurance? The fact is that when you
have lots
of medical problems and you don't have a great job, you still have to
get
help. Where do you think you're going to get the money? While it
might be
lunacy from your point of view, from the point of view of the person in
trouble, it's a short-term viable solution. But, you just want to cut
them
off, right? So they can either sink or swim on their own. You've got
yours,
right? I bet you always remember to pay your fire insurance too. I
guess you
don't have any moral imperative to help your neighbors in case they
have a
problem.

If you can't afford your bills, how can you possibly afford your bills
PLUS 29% interest?

YOU CAN'T. That's the POINT. They don't have an alternative in the short
term. Then, the CC bill comes due and they can't pay, and they go
broke, get
evicted, can't feed their kids. I don't understand why this is so
hard to
understand. Not everyone can manage to live like you do. Sometimes
people
live paycheck to paycheck, and sometimes they get over-extended due to
unforeseen expenses, but I guess that's never happened to you. Good for
you!!

Unfortunately anyone who thinks that is OK also thinks the government
is doing fine borrowing 40 cents of every dollar they spend.

Please show me where anyone here thinks that's "OK." That's missing the
point by a wide mile.

Yet that is exactly what this administration (and the one before it)
is doing.

The last one did nothing about it. The current one has to fix a mess
that's been growing for 10 years or more... all in 2 years of course.

Fretwell tries very, very hard to make a moral equivalence between the
Republicans and Democrats when it is obvious there isn't one.

Hey the spoofer came up with a true statement for once! Both parties are
full of corrupt politicians whose only goal is re-election.

And there's your moral equivalency. Surprised the politic junkie didn't see it
