I mean maybe you do, but not being able to afford healthcare doesn’t automatically mean you’re just choosing to play video games all day. I know a guy who’s in his second year of med school, does community health volunteering in his free time, and is on Medicaid with the intention of helping others on Medicaid when he finishes.

There’s tons of children dependent on Medicaid, pregnant women, people with disabilities, people who work full time but still fall below the poverty line. There are so many different people that depend on Medicaid for different reasons. That’s why cutting it to give wealthy people a tax cut is a disgusting thing to do.
