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.
If they actually dont make enough to support what they have such as themselves if they cant work, single parents who are in really bad positions and dont have acess to certain things because of a proven reason.
We need to be helping as many people as we can when it comes to funding health care. We are trying to save lives, when families can not afford the actual cost of medicine then we should try to help as much as we can.

The government should not be increasing spending when we are almost 29,000,000,000,000.00 in debt. Programs could be better managed.

Maybe for children from low income families, the elderly, and the disabled.
Yes, We need to be more like Canada so that everyone who needs to go to the hospital can do so without worrying about paying the bill, they do not need that much on their mind.
I don’t really know much about it

I think it should stay the same, but should make evaluations of things that may need additional updating.

Only the elderly, disabled, children without home,, and it can only be temporary, not long term for a person who is not disabled, a child, or old.
No, if we increase it then people have a bigger reason to not work.

No, healthcare costs should be regulated to make it affordable for everyone.
Yes, but monitor the funding to make sure it's used properly
Not clear. How far low income? Medicaid is actually good. It’s lower income that are not low enough to get Medicaid that struggle. How about “expand Medicaid with sliding benefits for lower income levels”
No, Abolish healthcare in all forms and pay directly to hospitals
Yes, but there should be mandates such as drug testing and time limits for those who are not disabled and unable to work.
I think it depends on the person and situation of who wants medicaid to be raised.
Yes, but only for people who are disabled and can't get a job or is elderly.
There is no valid excuse that the government should take away Medicaid and health care from those who need it.
The government should not be involved in health care
I think it’s at a good place now.
Yes but there should be a way to work yourself off government subsidies but medical coverage should be the very last thing to be stopped any only when the work place covers health care or the income is such that the worker can afford health care.
The federal government should increase funding for public health and prevention
Yes, but decrease wasteful spending in healthcare
No, but they should get what they are taxed for
I prefer switching Medicaid to a single payer system for those who can prove that they need it and monitoring the system for fraud and abuse like pill mills, drs. who over prescribe, especially opiods and addictive or unwarranted drugs and appliances.
yes but only for the people who can't pay for it.
The government should help low-income families and individuals so that they can afford it one their own.
Yes, but only after mandatory drug tests for each recipient.
Universal healthcare for all.
Yes but after thoroughly investigating individual need
No each state should decide their own level of coverage but price max should be set and regulated by the government.
The price of services charged to Medicaid should be regulated, mostly in hospital costs.
Должны быть бесплатными !
Not that knowledgeable on the topic
if people are willing to pay
Medical & Dental for all...
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.
More complicated than a simple yes or no
Yes, if they are actively seeking to improve their living situation and not just free-loading
Yes, but only for people who physically cannot work to provide for themselves (this includes elderly and disabled).
Yes, But more Medical assistant should be provided to people with less income
Only those who are in need of a healthcare plan.
Yes, but only for children and elderly
Yes, to an appropriate, means-tested level
change the rules so you don't have to lose everything when you go into the nursing home.
I don't really know enough about the subject to agree or disagree on the subject.
Fine the way it is now
No they should not increase funding but to put in place drug testing for those who are on it and who are applying for Medicaid.
Yes, but It should put money into disease prevention.
