Anthony,

You need to go back and read HR676, section 211.

Medicaid is free to people under 18 or 21, depends on state, people over 65, pregnant women (65% on medicaid are women), blind, disabled and you have less than $2000 in assets for 5 years.

These people have little money and pay almost no taxes.

We support them because we are a compassionate and great country.

HR676 is paid for by (A) existing medical funding sources, (B) increased tax on top 5% income earners (C) payroll tax of about 7% for all workers (D) small tax on stocks and bonds.

Medicaid is free. HR676 is insurance paid for by people that use it. The two are in no way alike.

The bills in Congress are a scam to protect the insurance companies who give tons of money to senators and congresspeople. That money comes out of our insurance payments.
