In the American justice system, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty - just because there are some taking advantage of Medicaid doesn't justify punishing the innocent for the sins of the guilty!

No innocent will be "punished" - Nobody will lose their Medicaid, just a slowing of expansion starting in 7 years !
What's wrong with the military providing the sons and daughters of billionaires, like Donald Trump, with the most dangerous assignments during time of war?
Those who have the most to gain in American society, should expect to be exposed to the greatest risk!
Rich and famous Americans have proudly served all throughout our history.
If you don't treat rich and poor as equals during times of peace, why should it be any different during times of war?
But big corporate insurance middlemen are OK?
And have you thought this through? Exactly how does it work? do you write a check to each doctor or nurse? How does medical equipment get paid for?
What if your bill is several hundred thousand dollars?

Poor baby.
Then you propose forcibly stealing from some to pay for others.
That's not Christian at all.
You completely eliminate charity, as FORCED charity is not charity at all.
Who is not being treated equally?
If those are the folks you wish to deal with.
At least you would have a choice in the matter and are not forced into it.
Like everything else in life, if you can't afford to pay the price they demand, then you don't get it.
You can't walk into a business that sells a product or a service and tell them you need something they have, but cannot afford it, so they must steal the money from someone else to cover your expense.
Stealing is not charity.
Wrong.
It would be more logical and beneficial to select the ones most qualified to accomplish the mission.
Why would one's wealth have anything to do with that?
Hello Waldo.
Let's just agree that no Christian should have to be forced to help those without healthcare afford it.
I'm sure there is a Bible verse that supports your, "no $, no medical treatment" position.
It should be no private sector profits made on these who cannot afford healthcare. otherwise the government is subsidizing private business.
I'm sure there is a Bible verse that supports your "steal from Peter to pay Paul".
See how that works?
Common sense alone should let you know that a business cannot stay in business if they give their products or services away.
Depending on a thief (government) to steal from folks to pay you to keep your business going is not just.
Try using that logic for any business you might have.
Should anyone that needs your product or service be allowed to take what they need from you and not pay for it?
That is what you are asking others to do.
Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Ivanka have the most to gain by preserving the status quo!
For those not in the 1%, to treat us as equals during the time or war but not during times of peace is inherently unfair.
If risk and danger can be spread throughout all classes of society, then the financial rewards should be spread in the same manner!

Some people act as though virtue was a game of tag. If someone in dire need asks for your cloak, by all means, you're it. But if the state asks for help to cloth him its thievery.
