Hello I live in Pennsylvania and it is horrible with covering it's people that desperately need healthcare. It's almost impossible to get medical coverage if you can't afford it. Aren't there some states in the US that cover anyone no matter what? What states are they?

Washington state has something called "The Basic Health Plan," the premiums are based upon one's income and therefore more affordable for lower income folks. Other than that, I'm not aware of any states that cover anyone no matter what. Countries, now...that's another kettle of fish.

The US is the only "first world" country that does NOT offer complete medical coverage for its citizens.

Sux, huh?!

Here we are one of the richest countries in the world and government can't even take care of their own citizens. But yet they can send billions of dollars helping other countries. something just isn't right with this picture. Good luck!

Texas is no different I make little above minumum wage and pay a fortune for ins. because I don't qualify for assistance and my 14yr. old does not either{she is bipolar}
BUT if you cross the Rio Grande to come over here all the medical care in Texas is available to you for free along with food, housing assistance, school supplies and anything you can possibly need............Go figure I guess that is why I pay so many taxes
