And who pays for the expanded Medicare? All of us who are working, especially those of us who are over 65 and have to pay the added Medicare Premium because we choose to continue to work rather than "retire".You apparently need to go back to high school and take civics. Your post is wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to begin.
So in the mean time, all of us who do not qualify for some type of hand out from the Government get to pay higher premiums because of The ACA, higher MedicarenContributions, and a a County tax that takes care of a Hospitol District that according to President Obama, we should not even need any more.

Second, why in the heck are you whining about Medicaid? Our esteemed Governor MOFO the CLOWN declined any expansion of Medicaid. Medicare wasn't expanded beyond the people who already receive it.
You're drowning in the Kool Aid you're drinking Jackie.
Wise up.
PS -- TwoPups, you continue to dodge any substantive issue in favor of talking points. Even a blind man can see the writing on the wall... dipshit.
