People love to say, “You can’t expect the government to take care of everyone.” Fair enough. But look at the math. I make about $2,100 a month working at a hardware store. Rent: $950. Utilities: $200. Gas and groceries: $500. That leaves roughly $450. One ER visit wipes that out completely. Medicaid isn’t a “freebie” — it’s a safety net that keeps folks from going bankrupt over a broken arm. You cut that net, and it’s not just the “lazy” who fall — it’s cashiers, warehouse workers, the people who fix your AC or serve your coffee. It’s not about politics anymore. It’s arithmetic. #MedicaidMatters #Medicare
