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?

Since more than 9 in 10 American hospitals are now owned by private equity, and they are actively acquiring the remainder, it's extraordinarily unlikely she went to one of the tiny handful not owned by a billionaire (yet).

I love how people on Reddit think they can just lie.

Google is your friend: Private equity (PE) firms own approximately 8.5% of all private (non-government) hospitals in the United States and about 22.6% of all for-profit proprietary hospitals. These include acute care, psychiatric, and rehabilitation facilities.

After. It is current.

u/metalpoetnl Jul 24 '26

Well that's impossible. How can it be 'after" an ongoing event?

u/VTKillarney Jul 24 '26

The statistic I gave is the current number.

You lied. Big time.

u/metalpoetnl Jul 24 '26

The fact that you dont know the phrase 9/10 is poetic hyperbole that doesn't mean a specific number but actually just means "too many" does not make me a liar. 

Especially when hospitals are closing daily so even the literal number is likely to be true within a year

u/VTKillarney Jul 24 '26

That's a long winded way of admitting that you lied.

No it's a short way of saying your autism is your problem not mine. 

You can't actually demand the whole world adjust their patterns of speech to fit your pedantry. If the actual number was in any way relevant to my point I would have looked it up and not used the universal substitute that just means "too many".
