Re: “Tax the rich? Slash spending? Republicans wrestle with economic priorities in the Trump era” (Might 10, Nation):
Can we please cease utilizing the phrase “common” when describing Medicaid applications? Ice cream is “common” with People, “Star Wars” is “common” with People. Individuals’s lives depend upon Medicaid.
Most different developed nations know that well being care is a proper and guarantee their residents have entry; it’s not up for debate. However not America. Each of my dad and mom trusted Medicaid on the finish of their lives; for his or her medical care, prescriptions and ultimately nursing dwelling care. None of that will have been attainable with out Medicaid applications.
Utilizing the phrase “common” makes it look like a pattern, not a necessity.
