Just a point of view here, I have a lot of family who has been or are in madicaid and they actually love it. When my brother got brain cancer in his late 20s and got dx the day before his first kid was born, he was taken to MD Anderson for treatment (the best cancer care on planet earth) where they performed two surgeries and follow on radiation. He is totally fine now and cost was absolutely minimal to non existent. Same with their pcp. They actually see their pcp quite regularly.
The people who get screwed are people working for tiny companies who can’t afford good healthcare but don’t qualify for Medicaid or self employed. As a reference my employer pays around $30k a year for my health insurance so it’s hard for small companies to afford it.
