The problem is the public doesn't know Medicaid until they need it and most of us need it at some point.

People think, oh, Medicaid, that's just for poor people. Well when we get old and need help paying for a nursing home, Medicaid is who picks up the tab we cannot afford. I don't think enough people get this right now.
