No, and abolish Medicaid

seeing how low income people are more prone to disease and sickness, taking medicaid away would just allow more people to die due to not being able to afford healthcare.

Medicaid should not be abolished because it helps a lot of people who can't afford the expenses of Healthcare

those who don't have enough money or aren't living with their parents still need insurance. they are human as well and need to go to the doctors too.

Not every person is above the poverty line and for those who have multiple kids, it'd be harder to pay for health insurance.

Many people who are disabled or elderly don't have that time and strength to be able to support themselves without any help. medicaid helps people who can afford certain medicine who needs help with providing certain things for themselves. Those people can't easily go and find a job anywhere not everyone accepts people with a disability or a person who doesn't work at a fast paste for them.

Why should someone not have access to getting medical care. If someone cannot afford to get the care they need they should be given the care regardless and not be concerned about trying to pay it off. Why should someone die or live a life of pain and suffering just due to the fact they cannot afford it.

As America, we are one of the most of unhealthist countries out there. Having more Medicaid espically as we progressively decline in health is better. It allows more of us to receieve medical help when we need it. Its already been proved that medical facilitices do up charge most of their patients. Most people don't seek medicine help because of how much it will effect them financially.

If you're going to abolish Medicaid than you should make a universal healthcare system that's free for everyone.

Lack of universal healthcare programs may become a disaster if a lethal pandemic (such as COVID 19) becomes an urgent issue again. Universal healthcare may also decrease the inequality between the rich and the poor, due to the fact that the less prosperous groups will have an opportunity to get treatment they need, thus increasing their lifespan

Medicaid is used by many citizens, it doesn't matter if your tax dollars could be going somewhere "more useful" because if you were in the position that you needed Medicaid you would not feel this way.

Healthcare is expensive, medicaid covers the costs for those who do not have the money to pay for healthcare. All low-income citizens should be able to be in good health.

with out Medicaid people are not getting token care of properly even the vets that have fought for us would not have Medicaid if we abolish it

There are families, who work hard but can't afford numerous medicines and such, that should be aloud to use Medicaid.

There are a lot of individually in need of health care, so I think it's important for them to be able to afford .

All people need healthcare, regardless of income. If someone is low income, they should still be allowed to access healthcare.

Medicaid should be available to low income families. Everyone should be able to have access to health care no matter their income values. That is a human right.

Medicaid saves millions of Americans every year and I believe medical care is a basic human right. When someone is either injured or ill, most people have the decency to help and care for the wounded. The abolition of Medicaid is the worst idea I've ever heard. Unless the abolition is done to create a better system of taking care of low-income households there should not be any change.

Without Medicaid millions of people wouldn't be able to get help because they wouldn't be able to afford it

Medicaid is important because it helps families who would other wise not be able to afford health care.

Abolishing healthcare help is not going to better the country. It will actually cause more health issues like spread of diseases and other bigger illness. Also our life expectancy would decrease, meaning more people and children dying which can affect the economy as a whole.

Medicaid shouldn't be abolished due to many low income families that are being helped with state insurance.

Yes, and do not abolish Medicaid. Many people struggle to make ends meet even without healthcare and dental care. Other countries have free healthcare and dental care, yet America forces their people to pay for healthcare and dental care, and then tax them if they can't afford it. That makes no sense and is putting people further into debt by taxing them.

Medicaid provides medical care to millions of Americans who could otherwise not afford life-saving care. Many rely on the care they can only receive because of Medicaid to remain active in the workforce and live longer healthier, and happier lives. Abolishing Medicaid not only hurts the American people but is a blatant attack on the poor. Medicaid saves lives.

There is elderly people and sick people in need who can't get any help or provide for themselves. They NEED help. They are probably retired and aren't making much money and need the extra help.

If we abolish Medicaid as a whole, so many Americans will suffer and our Economy will risk collasping.

If Medicaid were to be abolished then families with lower incomes will suffer due to the unavailability to healthcare.

Universal healthcare would raise taxes. But people would no longer pay insurance premiums, deductibles, or co-pays. And employers would no longer pay insurance premiums—they would pay an employment tax that’s far less than the insurance premiums they pay today. This would allow employers to create more jobs. And having a single-payer would significantly reduce the cost of healthcare—there would never be a $10 medication that’s sold for $400. Never.

Low income population suffer from diseases at a greater extend and are prone to life-threatening diseases, so they should be able to attain even greater Medicaid benefits.

Healthcare costs in the USA are already incredibly high compared to most HICs, so there is no good reason to make it even more difficult for most people to access healthcare.

You never know what someone is dealing with health-wise. Don't stop them from getting treatment for it.

Medicaid is really important for so many Americans, and without it they would have no healthcare at all. Medicaid needs to be funded more to make sure people who can't afford healthcare are getting the healthcare they need and deserve.

This is heartless and cruel. Additionally, it would not save the country money, and would generally decrease quality of life, especially in rural and poor areas.

Free healthcare should always be provided, but specially to lower class people as they might not have any other way to get healthcare, if it's for the people then it should be allowed.

In 2022, 62.1 million Americans where covered by Medicaid, getting rid of it would mean that none of them would have healthcare.

Over half of our nation is lower/working class, who may have children they just can't get insurance for. We should take it away from some, but not from those truly worthy.

Abolishing Medicaid won't change the current healthcare insurance system as it stands today. It'll make private companies all the more richer.

Medicaid is essential for kids who have developed "disabilities" due to organ transplants, because they have a hard time getting coverage from employers

So just leave them to die? ... Healthier (menially / psychically) community performs better in what they do.

We should not abolish medicaid because, millions of people across the world use medicaid to pay for medical bills and doctor appointments. Going to a doctor or dentist and paying out of pocket or going to a hospital and having to have critical surgeries that cost thousands of dollars, would lead others to never get the help they need. Medicaid is extremely beneficial for low-income families that cannot care for their children with congenital deformities, and conditions, medications and doctor visits that happen often would be paid for and parents that care for these kids wont stress of going bankrupt or put out of their homes because they cannot pay their bills or afford food for for their family.

Abolishing Medicaid would remove the needed and relied on help that low income families and citizens use to survive.

Medicaid holds up many of those who, for varying reasons, cannot pay for their own medical bills. Numerous Americans depend on this form of welfare in order to live healthy lives.

Some people who don't have much income coming in may need a little extra help to get back on their feet. Healthcare spendings can get very pricy and accidents happen and some people can't afford to pay for the costs. Medicaid needs to stay because not everyone is as lucky as others. Some people have children to take care of on their own and they need to be vaccinated and taken care of if they get really sick. The costs can be way out of pocket and them they won't be able to get the proper care which can lead to more serious situtations.

healthcare is extremely expensive we need every kind of healthcare or medicare stuff we can get tbh especially for people who can’t afford a 100k bill

Yes while people do not want to pay for Medicaid we should keep it due to the fact that some of the people with the lowest income are some of the hardest workers in the country and some earned that right to have cheaper medical care.

Protecting the lives of citizens is an important role of the government. If this is false, the police should also be privatized.

yes, but only some the money, what i mean by this is pay enough down so the individual can afford to pay the rest

Cause social programs can prevent many deaths in our societies, reduce social problems, decrease suicide rates and people visit a doctor earlier before it might be too late to treat. Everbody can be in a troubeling situation at some point, and I believe that the there should be some social net to come back into society.

Why would we do this? There are people that are retired and need help anyway they can get it, and taking it away from those people is just cruel.

Medicaid is a perfect solution for low income families to get health care without spending a lot of money on medical bills.

We argue that if Medicaid stigma has been sufficiently reduced, Republicans who benefit from Medicaid coverage

Medical care should be a basic human right in a place as powerful and prestigious as America; abolishing Medicaid would, yes, probably cause a tax decrease, but in return, medical fees would shoot up from what they are right now (which is absurdly high in the first place). Citizens deserve options for help.

That would rapidly increase poverty and the level of homelessness. The people that need Medicaid don’t have the normal way of establishing wealth.

Medicaid saves lives,help people live longer,and provide the peace of mind that comes with affordable helth care that's there when you need it.

If anything, we need to expand Medicaid. Medicaid has saved the lives of many Americans, and knowing people in my life who have benefited from Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and the expansion of these policies, I understand how much Medicaid can benefit the American population if we were to expand it. Moreover, we should not only expand it but also reinvest in it both federally and locally.

Medicaid has helped so many families through the year and just bc your mommy or daddy had private healthcare didn’t make you better then me promise!
