The one run in I had with Medicaid is when we used it to put my Grandma into a nursing home. Before she died, they beat her black and blue, left her to sit in her excrement, and emotionally abused her. That's what Medicaid buys you. Needless to say I have the best Long Term Care insurance money can buy for my parents and I'll go broke before I allow that to happen to them. Medicaid isn't something anyone would want to rely on. So the question is this. Is it good enough for Americans? I'd so no. But then again, if Americans want something better, we damn sure better pay for it by spending cuts elsewhere or higher taxes. I'm sick of the deficits and debt.
