    Atul Gawande Retweeted NYT Health

    The good news: a Court is actually upholding the law requiring Medicaid to provide medical assistance to poor individuals. If your mental or physical health makes it difficult to obtain or sustain work, then a poor person needs medical assistance more not less.https://twitter.com/nythealth/status/1012792440967790592 …

        Not to mention, sickness is what makes many people poor. I saw a man who was filing bankruptcy because his heart attack had incapacitated him from running his decades old business. He was losing everything.

        But . . . as a practical matter, Medicaid clients tend to be the working poor or people in LTC. they are either working or unable to do so.

        Truth: there are people on Medicaid who can work. Truth: there are people who do not qualify for Medicaid b/c they work and have no insurance. Truth: provide heatlhcare to everyone and stop quibbling about who gets what.

        The bad news: it actually required a *COURT* to stop Kentucky from taking medical assistance away from poor people.

        The bad news: tRump is proposing another corporate tax cut, which will justify Congress completely gutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security (not military spending?). “In a modern, moral and wealthy society, no person should be too poor to live.” ~Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

        What if you’re poor and your mental or physical health does NOT make it difficult to obtain or sustain work? They are a minuscule minority? As shown by what data?

        My husband was very ill & could not work; Medicaid is a blessing to people who need it. Unfortunately, I also know people who abuse the system & lie. These people make it hard to get & maintain the coverage needed. It’s a slap in the face to those who really need it.

        These are all issues which will go to SCOTUS. Use your bullhorn to agitate for qualified justices, not Trump toadies. Please.
