I know someone who had health insurance through the work place and when they lost their job they were able to qualify for Medicaid. They work part time, pay taxes. They are now the healthiest they have ever been. It is a program that works and should be expanded to cover all USA citizens.

Also, the EMTALA law would need to be rescinded. It is required by law for an ambulance to take you to the nearest ER for life threatening conditions. The receiving ED is required by law to keep you, no transfer to a more affordable or in-network facility, until you are stabilized.

There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.
Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.
