Reply #18: Okay, Re-Read Your Post

" would have extended the current Medicaid plan, by raising the maximum income so that both children and parents could qualify to use Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program."

Okay, I am a single mother in Georgia. I have a full time job as a WalMart cashier, and another part-time job working in a McDonald's. In order for me to understand Kerry's health plan, I would have to know the following:

(1) The maxmimum income for Medicaid.

(2) If I qualify, and because I have two jobs, I may not qualify.

(3) I have to understand how my state, Georgia, would combine with the Medicaid program.

IOW, I have to be a policy wonk to understand his plan.

Whereas, if Kerry said the following: "I will fight for one single, simple national health insurance program for all Americans."


Now, if you cannot see the difference between the two statements, then that's why the Dems are struggling to win some of the red states.
