Health Care reform is primarily a process to cover the "working poor". Those families just getting by and families who have been denied coverage for various reasons. In some cases families and small business owners that are doing OK financially, but coverage is still out of reach.
There are various ways to fund the bill, one of which is to spread the load. Everyone who can pay something, does. Everyone get's insurance whether they think they need it or not.

People on Medicaid are the working poor as well. They "largely" work under the table earning unreported wages ( cleaning houses, handyman, resturants, etc.), and then get the government subsidy as well. That's the way the system works.
No one ever wants to pay, and many people find ways so they donlt have to pay even though they can. Only the honest working class pays.
