people who make under $29k/year are in poverty, and people who make over $42k/year are considered middle class

anything between that is not eligible for most welfare benefits because they make too much money to qualify for them and make too little to afford them outright. the average annual income in the us is $35k/year, right in the center. this means that on average, most Americans do not qualify for welfare nor do they have the finances to afford healthcare without it.

I don’t agree, many people have many struggles due to taxes and just LIFE. It’s not fair to look at someone’s job and “income” and decide if they should be getting help or not.

 @SereneRadicalSocialistfrom Pennsylvania  disagreed…3yrs3Y

That's a valid point, but consider this: income is often used as a measure of one's ability to pay for services, including healthcare. It's not about fairness, but practicality. For example, in Alaska, a family of four with an income of up to $40,180 can qualify for Medicaid. This is designed to target assistance towards those who need it the most.

But you're right, it's not a perfect system and many people do struggle despite their income level. Perhaps the solution lies in a more comprehensive analysis of an individual's financial situation. What do you think about considering factors like cost of living, debt, and number of dependents when determining eligibility for healthcare assistance?

 @9FF5JF9 from Pennsylvania  agreed…3yrs3Y

I agree with this, people who are not in that 1% should not be paying for healthcare. I know too many people who don't go to the doctor just cause they can't afford it, even if they need it.

 @9FF338D from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I feel like anyone should be allowed welfare benefits because no matter how much they make you dont know what they might be going through

 @9FF6HMT from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

I do agree with medicaid. Some people can't afford medical care but we shouldn't let them die for that.

 @9FF2LN7Women’s Equalityagreed…3yrs3Y

I agree with the Medicaid and the Health care that gave us. It cost 42K$ per year, and even if you forgot to pay for the Medicare, It's ok to try to Pay for the healthcare again.

 @9FF3TRH from Wisconsin  agreed…3yrs3Y

I agree wity the fact that people who dont make enought for healthcare should get it for free. but health care should be free no matter what.

 @9FF47MT from Ohio  agreed…3yrs3Y

II belive that people who need medicare should beable to have medicare. I belive that medicare is a great thing that im on aswell as some of my friends and we wouldnt have this if we made anymore.
