  If you don't refresh your eligibility
context: sure, that's what poor americans need, even less access to healthcare >
  
  Perhaps they should try not being poor? Just get some bootstraps and stop being lazy… sheesh!

  Ironically MANY, and I mean MANY trumpists are dependent on social programs. Go to any walmart not in the inner city and you will find employees on food stamps that love trump. >
  
  Meanwhile Walmart subsidies itself by underpaying their employees, during record profits. This should be highly illegal. >
  
  Yes! Exactly-why isn’t this talked about more? >
  
  honestly I've seen people talking about it consistently for 10+ years, the problem is just that we don't have enough money to buy the votes to do something about it. >
  
  Time to form the Poor Peoples PAC. >
  
  
  Poor People’s PAC
  
  That’s a great idea!
  Say, didn’t that MLK guy start a Poor People’s Campaign back in ‘68?  
  I wonder what happened next… >
  
  Poor People’s Campaign still exists, though I see no evidence that they are actually doing anything >
  
  All it takes is for the leadership to be willing to be paid to be ineffectual.  I'd suggest we take a closer look at the finances of our would be leaders. >
  
  States will be able to remove people who don't qualify for Medicaid.  For the past several years, people kept Medicaid even if they no longer qualified for it.
  "When the administration first declared the public health emergency (PHE), it also barred states from kicking people off Medicaid.
  In a normal year, many people enroll in Medicaid and many others leave as their income or circumstances change. States run routine checks on Medicaid members to make sure they're still eligible for the program, and throw out anyone who isn't. The public health emergency halted that process.
  "There are lots of reasons people move on and off Medicaid, but what the PHE has done is, for the last few years, no one has moved off Medicaid" >
  
  So I am confused as to what the issue is. If you no longer qualify for medicaid, then you qualify for Obamacare subsidies. If you did qualify because you lost your job during covid and now you have your job back, why should you continue to qualify? And if you still don't have your job back, then you qualify for Medicaid. >
  
  According to the article its common to get kicked off medicaid even if you are still eligible.
