>>I am sure you did not mean anything by it but the suggestion that the homeless and everyone else who do not have health care insurance have adequate care through medicaid or the ER is something the people who are against health care reform have been saying all along. In any case, I don't know this, but can you get medicaid if you can't provide an address?<< No, I was only pointing out that although most of the homeless would qualify for Medicaid, that does them no good as a practical matter. I would guess that getting Medicaid would require having some sort of address. In any case, applying for it would require a level of mental acuity which many homeless people can't muster.
