Medicade is a piece of load-bearing social infrastructure that most Americans - who are not on Medicade and barely understand the difference between Medicare and Medicade - are blissfully unaware of it’s ramifications for the entire healthcare system.
Put another way: The only reason we don’t have hordes of people in the streets demanding universal healthcare - is because the poor have Medicade, so it’s in their best-interests to behave.

Is Medicade diluted healthcare mixed with water and a sweetener?
Medicade is a single-payer healthcare program that is almost entirely for the poor. (eg: People that insurance companies can’t squeeze money out of.)
Without Medicade most hospitals will go bankrupt - and what few social services & charities there are for the poor will be absolutely swamped to the point where they will be ineffective.
Moreover: Medicade prevents medical bills from forcing the poor from choosing between a rent & food and medication they need to live. So if Medicade gets gutted, the US homeless population is going to blow up.

It was a spelling goof, it’s all good. Still reading you loud and clear.
Oh Derp!!! X-P
