> People with no money in the US go on Medicaid
Alas not necessarily. PPACA (aka Obamacare) was supposed to ensure exactly that, but the Supreme Court struck down those provisions. So in 24 states Medicaid does not necessarily cover poor, non-senior, non-disabled adults without dependent minor children.
That's leaving aside the entire category of aliens which even in the other 26 states have only spotty coverage.
