It depends on the state, but where I live you can apply for free health insurance if you are unemployed or making minimum wage (free groceries too). That said, Trump is doing his best to put an end to state welfare programs.
this article is more than 13 years old.
Really, guys?
Just cause he thought of it first makes it no less relevant as a choice for healthcare.
Mind you with the current administration I think standards may slide a lot and you might end up working in mines on this plan.
on top of that it's just a repost from another karmafarming account who posted it to uplifting news
But there is no karma in Lemmy. Why would someone farm it?
Because there is karma on some instances and ways to see your total score. Is it still dumb? Absolutely, but people be people.
Some people also just repost anything to another instance if they don't like another instance. It's reposts all the way down!
