      My family is on Medicaid NOW. My wife stopped being medically able to work years ago but magically doesn’t qualify as disabled enough to get any help of any kind. We lost our house because of that and legal fees fighting for my mother in law whose family members were abusing her financially and physically and its just been kind of downhill from their financially.

      Lol it wasn’t until I was an adult that I knew you had to be low income to be on Medicaid. I was on it my whole childhood, plus on and off the free school lunch program
