    Just cause he thought of it first makes it no less relevant as a choice for healthcare.

    Mind you with the current administration I think standards may slide a lot and you might end up working in mines on this plan.

    It depends on the state, but where I live you can apply for free health insurance if you are unemployed or making minimum wage (free groceries too). That said, Trump is doing his best to put an end to state welfare programs.
