    It’s easy to search it yourself, but there are 10 states that haven’t expanded Medicaid. People in these states who are “just” poor (not disabled or children) do not have access to low/no cost healthcare as you suggested.

    Reading someone saying they wish they could get their back fixed and complaining about rich people’s pets having a better standard of healthcare than people, then jumping straight to “they hate dogs and want them to die of cancer” is bad faith. Their feelings about dogs are clearly not the subject of their comment. It’s a complaint about the system that has left them without adequate access to healthcare.

      It’s obviously not that easy, seeing as how you have created a strawman and are arguing false information.

      The claim wasn’t about the expansion of medicaid, it was that free coverage exists in all states.

      Texas is one of your 10 listed states but has a “Charity Care” law for all non profit hospitals requiring they provide free aid to those that qualify.

      People who pretend a topic is simple to dismiss the claims of others are typically wrong.

      By National law, you are required to be provided any kind of emergency care needed, https://www.patientadvocate.org/explore-our-resources/preventing-medical-debt/uninsured-and-facing-an-emergency-know-your-rights/.

      Seems like you are full of shit and want to strawman the topic to be about medicaid expansion.

      The hate dogs portion is to address their actual comment which shits on a vaccine for dogs because of coverage not offered by their government. You’re just another shitty person looking to justify hating on modern medicine because you’re bitter.

      It’s bad faith to pretend a direct address to his shitty comment is bad faith because it upsets you. I was holding my dog who is currently dying of cancer, while typing that portion, so I would love for you to have said this shit to my face. Fuck his and your shitty attitude on medicine for dogs. Would be pure poetry for the two of yall to taste cancer treatments to know what yall are wishing on people.

      Seeing as how you can’t piece together a thought that isn’t 100% pieced together by bullshit, I’m going to move on from this convo. Have a good one.
