Health insurance question?

I see alot of questions regarding not being able to afford health insurance and that is why a lot of people support nationalizing the health care system. I wonder if any of them know about Medicaid? If you cannot afford your health insurance, you can get on Medicaid. It is free and widely accepted. Laws vary a little from state to state but if you can prove you can't afford your health insurance or are not eligible, you will probably qualify and your kids definitely will. Why do we need to nationalize the entire system when there is already help available? There are also the CHIPs (Children's Health Insurance Programs), and Medicaid covers dental. Do we really need to nationalize health care? Do you feel the quality of care will suffer? Why or why not? I saw an answer that said even if they do nationalize health care, you can still choose to pay for private insurance. But how long will insurance companies be able to stay in business trying to compete against a free system?
