Europeans don't realize their "free" healthcare is literally a more organized government version of America's Medicaid.

 It's so amusing. 


This Reddit post lists the typical grievances of a non-American - private enterprises where things are "free" in Europe. 

America's Medicaid is a jointly federal and state government funded healthcare plan for those that are below a certain annual income threshold.

Reading up on Medicaid.

It's inconsistent to reject an applicant if they live with their parents, say a 30 yr old woman who is unemployed and living with her parents - one working and making 100K, because the household she lives under is financially secure.

One, isn't the government practically forcing the parents to pay for their daughter's medical coverage (annual check-ups, basic vaccinations) even if the ground rules laid by the parents is to  not pay for such coverage? The daughter herself cannot pay for it since her annual income is a net zero, though she still has to file taxes regardless of her employment status. If we use the "it's inhumane for the government to 'let people die on the side of the street'" the government is not keeping its promise to provide for the daughter since she is unable to secure health coverage. Yes, the parents are letting her live under their roof, rent & utility bill free, but they will not provide no health coverage.

Two, the expansion of medicaid isn't really an expansion, just lip service.

There is nothing. Welcome to Progress.

In celebration of Fiorina suspending her presidential campaign, the editor of Think Progress - Jeff Legum - goes to social media to express his jubilation.
Fiorina, out of all the GOP candidates, was the most outspoken against Planned Parenthood. Due to this some think of her as a horrible person (see: reactions to Legum's tweet). 

Mark this as proof that Legum's upbringing and formal education has failed him; and that his own opinions show a psychology that needs some serious therapy.

Someone said, "Pro-abortion advocates are utter ghouls." I agree. These fuckers are ghouls.
