While everything you say is true, the use of terms by the progressives/l*****ts is dangerous. Recently, I was reading an article pertaining to immigration, where the author used only the word "immigrants." Because I am well aware of the huge difference between immigrants and i*****l a***ns, the article was confusing, but all became clear once I understood that the author was speaking of i*****l a***ns. Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of American citizens, today, know quite well of which they speak and obfuscate on purpose OR they are so ignorant as to just take all the words/statements literally and believe them all without thought. Thus, the ignorant, non-thinkers are easily and constantly confused. A prime example of both this and opinion polls are the recently conducted polls about "Medicare for all." When asked if they were in favor of, supportive of, wanted Medicare for all, a large percentage said "YES." But, later, when asked about support for the program if it meant higher/more taxes, the percentage saying "yes" was much lower. I no longer answer polls because the questions are not asked in a way allowing me to answer since I am never supportive of either response possibility offered.

Medicare for all and Medicaid for all is two different programs.
is for disable for retired people. You have to work so many quarters to be eligible. After you start drawing Social Security there is a 1 year waiting period before you are eligible to enroll. Then monthly payments are deducted from your check to pay for it.
is a free welfare program for people not eligible for Medicare.
