    States starting to remove people from #MedicAid program benefits. https://nu.federati.net/url/290238 [apnew com]

    Assuming these people are still financially bad off, they either become uninsured or they go through the #ACA process and likely wind up on MedicAid anyway.

    Sometimes I wish we could require our legislators to live in the same conditions as their low-income constituents.

    "What? This apartment hasn't had a door in years. The landlord refuses to install one and we're forbidden by the lease from doing it ourselves. Come on, Congressperson, you had to know that making laws favor landlords would lead to this."

    ~~Later~~

    "*Cough* *cough*. It's so cold in here."

    "Yes, Congressperson, once you took away people's medical coverage, they had to choose between medical care and heating their apartments in the Winter. Did you expect anything different?"

      Kicked off Medicaid: Millions at risk as states trim rolls
      from AP NEWS
      Some Medicaid recipients tell The Associated Press errors and confusion are leading to them being kicked off the federally and state-funded health coverage program. States are undertaking an unprecedented review of the 84 million Medicaid enrollees nationwide. The federal government will require states to remove people whose incomes are too high for the program. Millions are expected to lose insurance. Some advocacy groups and Medicaid recipients in states that have started the process say they've been mistakenly removed. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says it'll work with states inundated with calls from enrollees. For the past three years during the coronavirus pandemic, the government had barred states from removing anyone deemed ineligible.
