    Remember that tax payers foot the bill for both.

    Do we cover more benefits? Do paytaxers pay for taxes for more benefits? These are not easy answers. How do you feel about it?

    Please post more details.

    Clearly, voluntary procedures such as cosmetic surgery shouldn’t be covered by welfare health insurance.

    If you’re talking about “fixing the system”, though, and reducing medical costs to the welfare system, you should probably also do the following:

    1. mandatory sterilization for any woman giving birth on welfare health insurance (to prevent the “career single mothers”)

    2. exclusion of coverage for symptoms of preventable diseases – ie, all the maintenance meds for overweight people, for type 2 diabetes and other weight related problems, smoking related emphasema and lung cancer, HIV, etc – all those behavioral things that cost extreme amounts of money

    3. extreme medical procedures designed to prevent death, for babies born prior to 28 weeks gestation, or severely ill elderly people

    Obviously, these measures aren’t going to go over well with the overweight, drug users, homosexuals, smokers, career single mothers, or anyone over the age of 65. So they’ll never get voted in.

    Our way of life is destined to bankrupt itself with stupidity and irresponsibility. It’s very sad.

    Anything that is not covered for those of us who either
    a) pay for our health insurance, or
    b) work for the government and receive health insurance from the government in return

    should also not be covered for persons on Medicaid who receive health insurance from the government without paying and without working.

    It would not be fair for persons who receive health insurance from the government without paying and without working to receive benefits that those of us who pay or work for our benefits do not receive.

    Medicaid should not pay for people to have babies. If you can’t afford to have a baby, the government should not pay for it. Medicaid robs all of the doctors involved in care because it only pays 8-12% of the real bill. The problem is that Medicaid costs NOTHING to the patient; therefore, that patient continues to use the system. In fact, the overwhelming majority of Medicaid patients are “users” of the tax system, not “contributers.” That’s why they bleed the taxpayers. Medicaid should not pay for most benefits. It is a payer of last resort; therefore, it should only pay for the direst needs, not the irresponsibility of people.
