16. Nope, that's 100% wrong.

You can link to HHS all you want, but nowhere does that page say that income is the sole requirement.

Federal eligibility guidelines absolutely DO require that recipients be aged, blind, or disabled. As the HHS site points out, individual states may choose (or NOT choose) to expand on these basic guidelines, meaning that actual eligibility may vary by state. This does not change the fact that in many states (particularly the red ones), the "aged, blind disabled" standard is the baseline.

Do you actually believe that ALL low-income people in America are eligible for Medicaid? That is really an astonishing thing to believe, in light of the MILLIONS of poor people who are uninsured. Are they just too ignorant to know they qualify?
