Every American could fill out an application for Medicare. The application is turned over to the State Medicaid Office who looks at your monetary situation and to see if you have private insurance coverage already.

It is a back door into a single payer system. It could force the State of Texas to implement the ACA and perhaps the ACA's Medicaid Expansion. I believe that refusing the Medicaid Expansion discriminates against pregnant women how can not afford private health care.
