three selfish reasons everyone should be in favor of expanded medicaid (ie in favor of everyone having access to healthcare):

* healthy people are able to work and pay taxes

* when people don’t have access to regular care, they end up in the ER when things get really bad. All the rest of us pay the cost of those visits

* access to care (particularly vaccines like flu or covid) means less spread of disease and leas exposure to disease for the rest of us
