no aid at all. Now tell me how a family of 3 can live on 8,870 a year?? Please explain this to me. All you conservative states who didn't expand Medicare, those Republican states that gave 10 shits for their people, and also worked so hard to defund Planned Parenthood, but are also pro life, explain this to me. I thought
the Republicans were conservative but that is only another word for stingy, and don't care if you die from hunger in the streets. I would of made a law those 19 states had to expand Medicaid.
Nope, Donald and Ryan are in favor of block grants, which means the above will be US wide unless a state can come up with money somehow to help people. While Donald lives high off the hog and most Republicans in Congress and members of his "transition team" they are there just wondering how much more they can fill their pocketbooks. Then again the poor chaps have government health insurance.
No wonder Donald loved "the poorly educated" (those who voted for him). Unless this man finds some heart, and the preachers around him are Evangelicals and rich off uneducated people as well, preying on them, like Donald preyed on you, I doubt that.
You are all at any given time able to loose everything for an illness, hope you got a good job that does not lay you off, and you are not considered over the hill at 50, or have lots of money,then good for you, the medium income for a family of 4 is 54,000 (last I read) and at jobs who only work employees part time due to not wanting to pay health insurance, good luck. You will be eating like feral cats.(me)
As of September 2016, 19 states had not expanded their programs. Medicaid eligibility for adults in states that did not expand their programs is quite limited: the median income limit for parents in 2016 is just 44% of poverty, or an annual income of $8,870 a year for a family of three, and in nearly all states not expanding, childless adults remain ineligible.2 Further, because the ACA envisioned low-income people receiving coverage through Medicaid, it does not provide financial assistance to people below poverty for other coverage options. As a result, in states that do not expand Medicaid, many adults fall into a “coverage gap” of having incomes above Medicaid eligibility limits but below the lower limit for Marketplace premium tax credits (Figure 1).How Many Uninsured People Who Could Have Been Eligible for Medicaid Are in the Coverage Gap?
Nationally, more than two and a half million3 poor uninsured adults fall into the “coverage gap” that results from state decisions not to expand Medicaid, meaning their income is above current Medicaid eligibility but below the lower limit for Marketplace premium tax credits. These individuals would have been newly-eligible for Medicaid had their state chosen to expand coverage.
Adults left in the coverage gap due to current state decisions not to expand Medicaid are spread across the states not expanding their Medicaid programs but are concentrated in states with the largest uninsured populations. More than a quarter of people in the coverage gap reside in Texas, which has both a large uninsured population and very limited Medicaid eligibility (Figure 2). Eighteen percent live in Florida, twelve percent in Georgia, and eight percent in North Carolina.
(These are bible belt states-they carry the bible with them and can quote form it-Christians they are called)
There are no uninsured adults in the coverage gap in Wisconsin because the state is providing Medicaid eligibility to adults up to the poverty level under a Medicaid waiver.
