Somehow, I find it amazing that many people think that limiting your income to 797/mth in order to get free medical care is not a problem.




>That's why they ask their employer to pay them $797. Btw, we talked about elderly people who are very sick and probably cannot work at all.

>>Correction. Many people who earn above 798.00/mth need medical care and cannot afford it Edward. saying every person who needs it and cannot afford it is false. The earning limit for Medicaid in NC is 798/mth.

Now she's got polyps or something in her bowels and has been in and out of hospital numerous times of late, for check-ups, consultations, whatever-oscopies, etc. This has cost us all nothing except for the NHI contribs she paid in during her working life. Even if she hadn't and had been unemplyed all her life it would have been the same.

>>>We also eat small children, especially on breakfast.
>>>On slightly more serious note: every person who really cannot pay medical expenses gets Medicaid, free and most complete medical coverage. 'Really' means that this person does not have liquid assets, i.e. bank accounts, stocks etc. It doesn't matter if s/he has millionaire relatives or lives in own house.
