Continued expansion will bankrupt the system

Just as any insurance, participants will be paying. Why fall back on that old trope?

It is not what Medicaid was intended to accomplish. Socialism is never the answer.

Some rich industrialists have decided you learn: Socialism is bad. We have been 'socialists' since the species existed. If we did not have each others back/support, we would all have been eaten by predators, and ended the species.

I work in the medical field and I see how many abuse Medicaid or they fall into the cracks and still have it 🤦🏽

Its just step step closer to socialism.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
