Ever try to find a doctor that will take Medicaid? Rethuglicans have constantly reduced the rate of compensation so that doctors can't cover their costs when seeing Medicaid patients. You may find a nurse practitioner that will take you, if the case isn't too difficult but most of the time they'll refer you to the emergency room. Even Medicare patients have to go on waiting lists. 

It SOUNDS good, to have these programs, but in practice they don't work because greedy, heartless legislators (who have EXCELLENT healthcare benefits, due to their status as state employees) think if you can't afford healthcare, you should die. Sure, they'll vote for things like Medicaid, but they know it won't cost anything because even though you qualify for it, you won't be able to use it.
