When the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was enacted in 2010 it required all states to expand their Medicaid programs to include people with incomes slightly higher than those allowed under traditional Medicaid, as well as groups, like childless adults, that had not previously been covered. In 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that forcing States to expand their Medicaid coverage was unconstitutional. Since then 22 states have expanded their coverage and more than 35 have opted not to do so. Proponents of the expansion argue that it will lower healthcare costs for everyone by reducing the number of Americans without health insurance. Opponents argue that states should be allowed to run their own Medicaid programs without the intervention of the federal government.
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
Yes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
Yes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
No, and abolish Medicaid
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
No, and each state should decide their own level of coverage
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
No, and eligibility should only include the elderly and disabled
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
No, and the federal government should not increase funding for any social programs
@8FR53X52yrs
Yes but the current guidelines are trash and to easy to screw the statem
This system needs to be less complicated and allow healthcare professionals to determine what is best for people’s health
It would seem that if my state opted in that my property, sales and state income tax would have to increase to absorb this. If this is the case it would impact me the same. I don’t think the federal government should have their hands in private sector.
@98WMKQC8hrs
i believe people should have free healthcare.
@98WL9479hrs
Not really. If feel like there should be an increase in jobs so people can make the money for that.
@98WJDR410hrs
Yes, but not for people who are able, but choose not to work
@98WFSWY12hrs
I agree, but there should be an application.
Yes, but everyone should have access to healthcare not only low income individuals.
@98WBF9XRepublican22hrs
Yes for the elderly, and to verify that they are American citizens or legal immigrants
@98W8T2C1 day
Yes, but not for people who are able but chose not to work.
@98W2GDP1 day
If people need medical care then yes.
@98W42J4Republican1 day
It depends on their life and what they do for a living.
@98W3QKRLibertarian1 day
The government needs to put control costs of medication and healthcare. In order to make it more affordable to individuals
@98W2LKP1 day
I believe that free healthcare shouldn't only be for low-income individuals. I think that it should be distributed by eligibility for whoever needs it no matter what their income is. I think that it should also be available for larger families.
@98VZX7J1 day
Yes, because people who can't live can't live! I am indeed American.
@98VZGKQ1 day
No, this isn't the main problem with the health system.
@98VYHRW1 day
i do not have an opinion on this question.
@98VRX2ZLibertarian2 days
No, but we should spend the money that we do spend better
@98VQ7P82 days
Need to make medical care more affordable overall. Why are pills (some that are very necessary and no, it's not all about recovering R&D costs) so expensive? Hospitals do need to make enough to pay off highly skilled professionals but seems to lean too much into for-profit than to provide for the people.
@98VN9XL2 days
No, but have a baseline of health care. The higher the price, the better the quality.
@98VL4CW2 days
yes cus im one of them:)
Ja, med redovisningsplikt.
@98VHVYJ2 days
It kinda just depends in all honesty.
@98VHM9HRepublican2 days
Free health care sounds nice
@98VH6QV2 days
Yes only if you are working
@98VGS5Z2 days
No, the corporate insurance healthcare system should be abolished and a single-payer or public option should be introduced
@98VDJDQ2 days
All people should have the same although it should be equal.
@98V8MRH2 days
Yes, everyone should get health care.
@98VBZDM2 days
The health care system needs to be fixed. It depends on the issue.
@98VBN7Y2 days
All people should get free health care

Yes, but only for people with sertain disabillitys or deseases
@98V69YK3 days
Yes, but only if they are extremely sick or disabled
@98V55MWRepublican3 days
Yes but only for children, elderly, or disabled dependents of legal tax payers.
@98TXNLH3 days
yes but some will try and abuse this so put in placeholders to protect this.
@98TW25R3 days
Yes, especially as inflation is at an all-time high.
@98TT9Z53 days
Yes, but don't tax people because of this
@98TS3LYRepublican3 days
Only for elderly and disabled, and also if you are in a single parent household and have a hard time supporting kids.
@98TRYZT3 days
it depends from case to case, if the people that want to receive the benefits are wealthy then no but if they are not wealthy then yes
@98TPC934 days
I think people who have low income are most times their fault. People in society today should have no problem making money. But for the elderly and disabled I agree with giving money to.
@98TM5LS4 days
Yes. We should abolish all social welfare programs. However, it is important that people at least have access to healthcare. Too many people are dying right now when they should not have to.
@98TLCC54 days
yes but tacks the rich
