Obamacare and Medicaid Expansion
If you are below 1.5x the federal poverty line, you are only covered under Obamacare if you are in one of the states Medicare expanded in. The rest of us poor people are out of luck <3
Yes I know this is mostly the Supreme Court's fault, but that doesn't make Obamacare any less useless for me and the rest of us living in some of the poorest states in the union <3

American Politics are so fucked up. You'd all be better off if you just scrapped your entire medicare system and adopted a universal one.

THIS! Holy crap, this is *so* hard for people to understand when I explain why I don't actually care about Obamacare!

After Gov. Scott (Fl) knows that embezzling $1.3bil out of medicare is pretty easy, so he is being cautious with medicaid.

In some states, Medicaid is only available to children and the disabled, but not to low income adults.

NE & TX are both the dark red, but you can qualify for medicaid if you're low income in NE; TX you only can qualify as a child or disabled.
