When I was unemployed a few years ago, it took me months to get basic state medical coverage in Kentucky. I had to spend hours waiting in line at the office because the phone service simply didn't work, and then had to jump through endless bureaucratic hoops. As a single guy who's fairly bureaucracy-savvy, I eventually managed it. If I'd been a harried and undereducated single mom, I might never have made it through. That was the second time I had to sign up for Kentucky Medicaid. Five years previous, it was a breeze. Then a Republican governor cut funding to the bone, and now it's awful. That's not an accident.
