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

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.
