Medicaid is not the same as Medicare. Medicaid is literally Free stuff so yea, it can be abused. Medicare is not free. People pay into it through taxes. 2 different things.

Free at the point of sale is what’s important. The fact that I know I theoretically pay for it with my taxes does nothing to curb abuse.
