Am I right to understand the basic issue is: people are, due to illness now homebound, and in the middle of nowhere? Like they used to live on the frontier or call it what you want but they used to drive 3 hours every few weeks to the closest grocery store? Now they have cancer, can’t leave the house, they are broke how are they gonna eat?
You can use food stamps to have a local Walmart or Amazon or a number of grocery stores deliver you frozen food at cost and either no fee or like $5-$10 max fee depending on retailer. But that is in cities. If there is really nothing that food stamps (SNAP) could do to remedy the situation (if you qualify for Medicaid, you qualify for food stamps, and vise versa, usually) I’m not sure if this is a big deal.
It definitely strikes me that if you’re billing Medicaid to feed me I better be getting hot meals from a nearby kitchen, not frozen shit, but maybe there are literally no commercial kitchens nearby.
