Depends on the state.
- onion2k 5y agoI don't understand what your comment adds to the discussion... Are you saying it's OK for some states not to have healthcare for poor people? Or that poor people should move to better states (they can't because moving costs money; poor people aren't mobile)? I don't see how pointing out that some states are worse than others is useful.
- wan23 5y agoIt is very useful, factual information. One might not know that Medicaid is a program run by the individual states, or that it is possible to move to a state with better options - and many "poor people" can and do move long distance for various reasons. Also, it's important to understand that if you want to change things you should be directing your efforts toward your state government.
- heavyset_go 5y agoMost states use 100% to 138% of the federal poverty level, which would cut off a single person from Medicaid if they make ~$12k to ~$16k a year.
