Kentucky probably benefited more than any other state from Obamacare. Uninsured rates fell from 40% to 9%.
Now, Trump changed the rules and will let states force able-bodied adults to prove they work so they will be eligible for Medicaid. Kentucky became the first state to do this under the new rule.
This will most effect counties in Kentucky that had the highest percentage of Trump voters.
Most non-disabled people on Medicaid already work. The new rule makes them fill out paper work at least once a month to prove they are working. If they mess up the paper work, temporarily are between jobs, or forget to fill it out, they will be locked out of Medicaid for 6 months.
Sounds like a colossal nuisance and an excuse for the state to cut people off from Medicaid, so they can save money.
I wonder if the Chumps who voted for Trump will still vote for him after this.
