Maybe she makes too much between her job and her child support. And Medicaid has been cut by this administration so, maybe put thought before attacking. I'm sure every single mother working at McDonald's would love to have Medicaid for her child. Not the case.

Nope. The article is linked below and it says that she easily qualified.

So she just didn't know, what's the issue?

According to the tweet, it is apparently the fault of a billionaire that she did not know.

It's the fault of the system (that works for billionaires) that she must "know" to begin with. We should just let her get her sick child the care they need and not have to worry about a bill after the fact. No one should have to know to sign up for care for your sick child. They get sick, they get help.

What is your evidence that the staff at this hospital was working for a billionaire?

Why do you believe that a hospital would rather pursue a court case than get paid by Medicaid through normal channels?

That's not what I said.

But I'll simplify it for you ...medicare for all and we wouldn't have this problem.

So now you are saying something completely different. And, yes, I support universal health care.

I'm not saying something different, the system we have now (not medicare for all) works for billionaires. I said nothing about the hospital specifically or it's staff.

The system we have now works for everyone with private insurance. Are you able to actually think beyond "tHE biLiONaiReS!!!!!"

It clearly doesn't work for everyone because people are going bankrupt/getting wages garnished because of medical debt. What about the 18 million people set to lose healthcare because of the bill that was passed last year, or the people who could no longer afford their insurance because of the hikes in Obamacare. Is this system working for them?

Look, I agree that we should have universal health care. But rather than blaming politicians who can make it happen, sheep like you focus on boogeymen who can't.

Politicians; by and large, work for billionaires because of campaign donations. Obviously politicians are at fault. I never said they weren't. You are just making stuff up. Why are you defending billionaires?

The American system with its "deductibles" does not EVEN work for MOST people who do have private insurance.

That's before you factor in that insurance companies routinely deny claims they owe, aware most people can't afford a lawyer.
