we just expanded medicaid for everyone gradually...I mean medicaid was expanded just from 100 to 133% and rest from 133% to 400% were given subsidies to buy private insurance..Instead of subsidies we could expand medicaid from 133% to 200% or even more gradually as years pass and financials improve...


For example : 200% poverty level medicaid from 2014
225% poverty level medicaid from 2016
250% poverty level medicaid from 2018 and so on....

I mean really..a family of 4 earning $95k are not exactly rich but also not exactly the neediest one...

In this way, we can eventually go towards a single payer system.
