A portcullis is a heavy vertically-closing gate typically found in Medieval fortifications, consisting of a latticed grille made of wood, metal, or a combination of the two, which slides down grooves inset within each jamb of the gateway.
It was created in the 1960's as an afterthought, or safety net, for healthcare needs not being met by by Medicare.
