Many states have instituted "fill out this paperwork or lose your coverage" policies that prey on the disabled by hoping they forget or aren't informed or able to complete the paperwork, resulting in the loss of their Medicaid coverage.

Why do Republicans hate the American people?

Because of selfish objectivism. They believe because it makes them happy it is moral. Which is quite a philosophical debate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism

And here I was having a pretty good day until you brought Ayn Rand into the conversation.

I've been lucky. My medicaid hasn't been affected but my brother's has been cancelled twice for earning too much. Both of the problems came from the same month. He fixed it both times but they seem hell bent on kicking him off.

Indiana sucks. But I have to give credit to the Medicaid. When it works it's great.

eh, submitting proper paperwork is important - it's the lifeblood of bureaucracy. the Feds could revamp the system if they chose to do it but it would adversely affect more people so nothing will change.
