Hi Candy,

It sounds like there is a 'poverty trap' like there is here in the UK. If you have a low paying part time job, or some small savings, you don't qualify for all the benefits and miss out on healthcare.

Medicaid sounds pretty good. Our NHS isn't covering dental work now, as the dentists won't sign up to it - too much paperwork.

Yes, we have the hoops too.

Cheers, M
