Does it seem incredible to anyone else that half of all american children are on medicaid?

On the surface, it doesn't seem accurate that half of all families in this country are in such a low economic position where they qualify for it, but I guess it's the case.

The people who can't afford kids are the ones having kids.

One thought. Lower income families have more kids in many cases than higher income families. Therefore, not half of families are in that economic position but half of children are.

Yet we wonder why the labor participation rate is so low.

The more shocking thing is how much money you have to make to NOT qualify for it.

I'm not very familiar with Medicaid. Do people pay anything at all into it (based on income or something) or is it cost free to them?

It's not half of families, the "families" on Medicaid aka single moms have like 10 kids by 10 different dudes thatre in jail

Incredible is not the word I would use, sad would be a better choice.

It's because those people breed like rats, it's not half the families!

We just need to make sterilization a prerequisite for welfare. If that's too harsh for some snowflakes, then you can just lose your welfare benefits when you have a kid when you are already on it. Hard working people shouldn't be forced to pay for the scum of society to make poor decisions.
