We have a fantastic medical system if you are poor in a state that funds it’s Medicaid system well OR wealthy enough to not be burdened by the cost of medical care.

To be fair, being poor only works if it is a clear cut life threatening issue. Otherwise, they treat and street you...

My statement about being in a state that funds Medicaid properly is true.

In Maryland Medicaid is actually decent coverage, meaning you ought to be able to get covered. I was laid off and the state automatically gave me Medicaid. It covered everything my previous insurance did, no hoops to jump through.

My son was even assaulted and ended up in the hospital during this time, no hassles re: having Medicaid.

In Virginia … you’re fucked.
