"But, when I needed to take him to the Dr. I use and he had used before while still on S-chips before,but now that she let that expire and got on ACCESS they couldn't take him even if i offered to PAY them in full! That didn't make sense at all!"
You are absolutely right, it makes NO sense at all but that's the law.
S-CHIPS is a very good decent program. There should be more like it for adults, called Basic Adult Healthcare. They have it in Pa, but there is a waiting list to get on it. I could see the Federal government giving States more money so Adults could get on that kind of program also. It all goes acording to your income, and nobody can be refused for pre-exhisting conditions which is the BIG Problem with ins companies. Somebody making over 70,000 a year could only have to pay 160.00 for themselves and 160.00 for their spouse. I know to get the free S-chips you can't make anymore than 34,000 if you have a family of 4. And 28,000 with like a single Dad or mom and a dependent child. You have to prove by showing proof of expenses also.
Problem is since it's government run but still through insurance companies, they are understaffed and the staff is probably underpaid. A person like my son's ex would just not work all they days she could to make her pay stub less so she could quailfy. This pisses me off. The folks giving the Healthcare should be able to contact their employer and they should tell them what she makes and hour and how many hours she is actually offered in a 2 week pay period, and how often she calls out. This is how people fudge things. I am not begrudging people who really need assistance, but don't be buying frivilous things and then whine and moan you can't feed your family.

I do have to say that many times the poorer people will get their nicer clothes from Good Will. This may be the case in some instances, but certainly not all. What is a disgrace is mothers leaving children alone and working. The children are left to fend for themselves, and many times they start fires in their homes/apartments.

And neither should the government!

I agree with you 100%.
If you look at healthcare as a right and not a luxury it just doesn't bother you as much.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
