We throw around terms like Medicare and Medicaid in discussions about healthcare, and who should pay for it. Preventive care and wellness, aside, can we agree that
the need for healthcare is universal? Regardless of age, income, or social standing, everyone faces the risk of illness or injury. This shared vulnerability demands the supply for medical care.
And, if the cost of healthcare denies access to medical care? Now this would be the point at which we enter the public policy debate on who provides the healthcare, and who pays for it.
The neediest of Americans can combine their Medicare with their Medicaid.
