12. Medicaid is the gold standard
I've been on just about every kind of insurance there is, and helped my heart-transplant mother wade through Medicare. Unless you're in some kind of dumb-ass Clinton state where they limit prescriptions, which are few, it's the best health insurance you can get. If people were ever on Medicaid, especially 10-20 years ago, they would be pissed at what they're paying for.

Honestly, this is the dumbest excuse to oppose the public plan I've heard yet. Employers force you into a plan now. They force you to choose a doctor in the plan they forced you into. They force you to pay whatever they decide. They force you to pay office and drug co-pays. They force the whole thing on you. But OMG, don't let them "force" you into a public plan like Medicaid that pays almost 100% of everything. The Horror!!

Geez. Come on.
