      One thing I’ve found in my reporting in Kentucky is significant resentment towards Medicaid enrollees, idea that they’re lazy/undeserving of free health care.https://twitter.com/sangerkatz/status/951864088212189185 …

      I’ve been thinking about this @sarahkliff piece a lot over the last 24 hours. (Thanks, Twitter friends.) Recommended reading in light of what’s coming in KY: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2016/12/13/13848794/kentucky-obamacare-trump …

      You can kind of understand though why people who are faced with high premiums would be resentful for not getting free care themselves

          @sangerkatz @Dpugel @colinb1123 Resentment over Medicaid isn't from the wealthy. It's from the poor who are just above qualifying in KY. Mom has $17k in annual income but cutoff is $16k. How is $17k any wealthier than $16k? She has Medicare, but Medicaid coverage is much better.

          Totally understandable. I'd personally love to see a phase in of premiums for Medicaid starting at 200% FPL up to 500% FPL, and above that just have a pure buy-in option and add it to the marketplaces. Or just a 10% payroll tax and single payer.

          Great idea(s). Some of the resentment could be calmed without spending too much more $ by smoothing out the transition from Medicaid to the marketplace.pic.twitter.com/RPcQ3Hl35G

          The CSRs were designed to mitigate some of the difficulty of that transition. I think the hardest shift is probably around 200% fpl, though others could speak with more authority.

          I get all worked up about 73% AV for 200%-250% FPL. How helpful is that really? Anyways... if I were to make some minor improvements to the design of APTCs & CSRs it would be to start premium caps at .01% of income and enhance CSRs for 150%-250%.

          I’ve never understood the 73% AV, what’s that tiny bump supposed to help?

          Right!? If you’re gonna spend some money on it, at least bump it to 80% AV.
