IMO, you're making the "free lunch" connection with medicaid recipents when in fact people at these low income levels pay a similiar share of the overall tax burden as a percentage of their income.

I pointed it out, largely because I don't think many Canadians have the full story, that there is health care available to low income Americans and that they don't pay income tax despite what was said leading up to the vote on Obama Health Care.
I also said I have no problem with it and that my own family benefited from it at one time. I guess you missed that part?
