I know of single people with no dependents who are on Medicaid but they have nothing.. no house, no savings, no car, etc. Since Medicaid is administered by the state, I imagine the rules change from state to state with it.

The other people who can get Medicare are people on Social Security Disability.

I bet they have a cell phone, rims, HD TV and an X-box.

True story- Last week I was at a Wal-mart neighborhood market and the lady in front of me used a Lone Star Card ( Food stamps in Texas) in the checkout. I was only buying some steaks for dinner so I walked out right behind her, and saw her getting into a brand new Caddilac CTS. For reals. I think the whole welfare debate is a no win situation, especially with the economy going to hell more people are going to be defrauding the system.

She probably didn't have insurance. That is they way they roll.

Given today's economic world, this may not be a situation of fraud, but moreso a case of living beyond one's means and having the bottom fall out (job loss).

But I see what you're saying though because I do know some people who sell the use of their card for cash. It could have been that too (her using someone else's card).

Or it could have been someone else's car.
