Should the federal government increase funding of health care for low income individuals (Medicaid)?
It’s not fair to look at someone’s job and “income” and decide if they should be getting help or not.

That's a valid point, but consider this: income is often used as a measure of one's ability to pay for services, including healthcare. It's not about fairness, but practicality. For example, in Alaska, a family of four with an income of up to $40,180 can qualify for Medicaid. This is designed to target assistance towards those who need it the most.
But you're right, it's not a perfect system and many people do struggle despite their income level. Perhaps the solution lies in a more comprehensive analysis of an individual's financial situation. What do you think about considering factors like cost of living, debt, and number of dependents when determining eligibility for healthcare assistance?
