Yes, I'm one of those radicals that think water is a human right.

Also under the "Medical care should be pay for yourself or purchase private insurance" policy Medicaid would not exist because it is neither of those.

Yup. Medicaid isn’t great. Better to pay poor people to have private insurance. Just my own experience though.

That's not far off from what Medicaid does. It doesn't pay poor people to buy private insurance, but it does it for them. Medicaid is private insurance paid for with government dollars.
