Trumps: White Angry Middleclass

[Teacher Terry]

alan, we all know his neighbors aren't paying for his health care and that it is income based. Universal healthcare like Medicare for everyone would solve this problem. If all the countries in Europe can afford this so can we. For starters we can stop policing the world and spend the $ on our own people.

Sorry Rob, I may have lost track what with all the changes in your life this past year or so, but as I recall your neighbors pay for your health care now don't they? It that's still the case, isn't that the opposite of 'empowering yourself'?

Wait... how did he get his neighbors to pay his healthcare?

Do we? I distinctly remember questioning Rob's assertion that his medical insurance through Arizona's Expanded Medicaid system was 'free'.

I am shocked AZ expanded Medicaid. Holy cow.

Here's a shocker for one and all. I have been off the Medicaid rolls for a month and a half now and am on an ObamaCare plan. Hence the need for access to the Mexican border due to deductibles and Co pays being high. I could quit one of my jobs and go back on Medicaid but this is not what I am about.....I prefer to work as much as I can and offshore my medical. At least by offshoring my medical I'm part of a solution and not the problem. Rob

How did you get on Medicaid in the first place? I have not idea how that works and I cannot believe AZ would go along with it.

It was a stunner, yes, and I have a great deal of respect for finger wagging former Republican governor Jan Brewer for going against her party to get this passed. For all her faults, the woman's got some class and decency regardless. Rob

Arizona expanded Medicaid and I made under the qualifying income for some time. After expansion it was a hassle due to some nightmare clerical errors I posted about here but eventually I did get on Medicaid. Rob

I wonder if OH expanded Medicaid.
