We should define what healthcare means. For example: if you have a cavity, do they simply pull the tooth or do you get a filling? It's just an example, but health care ranges from "preventing you from dying only" up to cosmetic stuff.
In some states such as Florida and Texas, having low income is not enough for an adult to qualify for Medicaid.
