I'm not sure how other states are, but WI takes care of poor people, to be honest. I've been unemployed since August last year and have been sucking the gub'ment teat, so to speak. BadgerCare has taken very good care of me, save for the few prescriptions they haven't covered, namely heartburn medication.
