I guess this joke is to USA for me to understand
to add to the other comments, i qualified for Medicaid in the past only because my annual income was under 14400 per year. you have to be POORpoor. like "how are you alive" poor.
Medicaid is something that you have to be quite poor to get. It means you are poor enough that the government pays for 100% of your medical care. In the US it is a shame to be poor. It means you are a garbage human being who didn't try and is now leaching off the rest of us. Yes its a garbage country.
I appreciate your commitment to the satire but fuck this hurts to read as someone whose family has used Medicaid in the past.
My family is on Medicaid NOW. My wife stopped being medically able to work years ago but magically doesn't qualify as disabled enough to get any help of any kind. We lost our house because of that and legal fees fighting for my mother in law whose family members were abusing her financially and physically and its just been kind of downhill from their financially.
