Should the federal government increase funding of health care for low income individuals (Medicaid)?
There are over 40 million impoverished Americans and it so I stand by the position that it is wrong…
However, the challenge is usually in the allocation of limited resources. While it would be ideal to provide healthcare benefits for everyone, the financial implications could be massive and potentially unsustainable for the economy.
For instance, look at the current Medicaid system, which is already straining federal and state budgets. The question then becomes how to prioritize who gets these benefits? Should it be based on income, health status, or some other criteria?
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how to equitably distribute these resources.
