Experience. It's very easy to lose medi-cal for making still not enough to afford rent.
The Medicaid income limit that you're referring to will apply to the undocumented immigrants too.
It's not like they're expanding Medi-Cal to be available to "citizens within the income limit and any undocumented immigrant regardless of financial eligibility"
Well sure, but when the undocumented are working for cash, how the fuck are they supposed to enforce that?
The benefits cliff is real and it sucks. I think Covered California does a pretty good job bridging the healthcare gap at least. Housing and nutrition assistance, not so much.
Well, renting is one of the biggest scams the working class has fallen for.
I don't think not being able to afford rent is a reason to withhold healthcare from those who need it.
Instead, it should be a reason to take action to reduce the amount you're paying for rent.
Unfortunately, that doesn't make rich people richer or fulfill your entitlement to live wherever you want so I don't think useful idiots will be proud of it.
