1/ The war on the poor continues. Healthcare is a human right. Period. I have seen firsthand the harm that comes to people when they cannot access care. Trump officials move to allow Medicaid work requirements http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/368448-trump-officials-take-move-to-allow-medicaid-work-requirements …

2/ Every barrier we place will cause harm to the most vulnerable in our society. And it becomes a viscous cycle: inadequate care leads to worsening of health status which makes it harder to find work. Those with the most complex medical issues will suffer the most.

3/ Ultimately it will cost states more money as these vulnerable people will end up with complications of their illnesses that cannot be reversed or easily treated.

4/ They will end up in our emergency rooms, where they will only be able to get stop-gap treatment, not comprehensive care. And the cost of this emergency care will be borne by society.
