You could spot the yahoos that fit your question a mile away. Of course, nowadays a lot of them can add meth addict to their application. They need/deserve help like anyone else, but I got tired of hearing how they "weren't like those other people" (wink, wink). Didn't stay in enrollment too long.

got on Medicaid but only until he can get off of it. Says he would never vote socialist and is not a Democrat, despite the fact that he is drawing A UNION PENSION. Sold his property and has 10's of thousands in the bank. Soooooooooooooo. He either put the money in his girl friends account or he should get caught when they find his wealth. Refuses to buy health care and is in horrible health. I didn't think you could get medicaid if you had money to pay for insurance. I am also seeing him as a quiet bigot. It comes out the more alcohol he drinks.
