Posting again for EMPHASIS. SO MANY JUST GOT MEDICAID COVERAGE IN NC LAST YEAR ONLY TO LOSE IT?

When looking at Medicaid cuts, are folks aware that 12 states would automatically or quickly throw folks in the expansion population out of the program if the enhanced match goes away? And not just little states either: AR, AZ, IA, ID, IL, IN, MT, NH, NC, UT, and VA.

What’s Medicaid, Again? - KFF Health News Republicans in Congress have suggested big cuts to Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for people with low incomes or disabilities. The complex, multifaceted program touches millions of Americans and has become deeply woven into state budgets and the U.S. health care system.

Republicans consider cuts and work requirements for Medicaid, jeopardizing care for millions Republicans are weighing billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, jeopardizing health care coverage for some of the 80 million U.S. adults and children enrolled in the safety net program.

Republicans are pushing again for Medicaid work requirements, pretending it’s about β€œpersonal responsibility.” But work requirements aren’t about jobsβ€”they’re about kicking people off healthcare without having to say that outright. 🧡
