Medicade is a piece of load-bearing social infrastructure that most Americans - who are not on Medicade and barely understand the difference between Medicare and Medicade - are blissfully unaware of it’s ramifications for the entire healthcare system.
Put another way: The only reason we don’t have hordes of people in the streets demanding universal healthcare - is because the poor have Medicade, so it’s in their best-interests to behave.
Is Medicade diluted healthcare mixed with water and a sweetener?
Medicade is a single-payer healthcare program that is almost entirely for the poor. (eg: People that insurance companies can’t squeeze money out of.)
Without Medicade most hospitals will go bankrupt - and what few social services & charities there are for the poor will be absolutely swamped to the point where they will be ineffective.
Moreover: Medicade prevents medical bills from forcing the poor from choosing between a rent & food and medication they need to live. So if Medicade gets gutted, the US homeless population is going to blow up.
It was meant as a joke.
Because an “ade” drink is a type of sweet, fruit-flavored beverage, typically made by diluting fruit juice with water and adding sweetness.
And it’s Medicaid but you keep spelling it Medicade, like lemonade.
Oops. That went over my head. LOL.
*Medicaid
It was a spelling goof, it’s all good. Still reading you loud and clear.
Oh Derp!!! X-P
My bad.
