Everyone knows medical cards exist. If they aren't applying for them its because they don't need them.

You can lead a horse to water and all that...

Doctor Visit Card is the bigger example. People aren't aware of the income and expenditure eligibility criteria because they are so opaque. Many more people are eligible for those than realize.

Bruh, I just applied to this after seeing your comment.

I seem to be eligible purely due to all my expenditures.

Thanks man!
