I suspect the real number is quite a bit smaller than that. Most people in this country live well beyond their means and live an unhealthy lifestyle. Failing health from living stupid is just the final straw that brings down the house of financial cards. No doubt there are many who live responsibly within their means who are overwhelmed by health issues. Medicaid is designed to help them. I am not against reform of the health care system. I have not heard a convincing plan yet. Obama running around talking about increasing coverage for 45 million people, this often touted number includes illegals, while decreasing costs $500 billion is not very convincing.
