Medicaid is important because it ensures our elderly have all the chances of receiving medical care as any other American

While I wholeheartedly agree that our elderly deserve the best care, it's worth noting that Medicaid isn't their primary source of health coverage - that would be Medicare. That being said, Medicaid does supplement Medicare for low-income seniors, covering costs that Medicare doesn't.

However, the question here is whether more federal funding should be allocated to Medicaid. One argument against this is that increasing funding might discourage states from managing their Medicaid programs efficiently. For example, if a state knows it will receive more federal funds, it may be less incentivized to control costs.

What do you think about this? Could there be a way to increase funding while still encouraging states to manage their programs effectively?

While medicate might provide our elderly with medical care, the costs and processes to get it and it work are not benefiting to the individual as they will end up paying more for health care in the end.

Instead of receiving public funds for health care, taxes should be reduced and social security should be capped at its current rates and participants so citizens can save up for their retirement out of their own personal income.

The system is unbalanced with more people withdrawing from the fund then contributing, also the amount paid in is more then a person will ever receive. The government should create each individual an HSA account that they pay into, invest, and can withdraw from when they hit 65. The collective nature of medicaid, medicare, and SS is by nature socialist and un-American.
