The narrative that the Trump administration was pushing prior to their Medicaid cuts claimed to kick off non-workers from the system. However Two-Thirds of medicare recipients are already working. A large majority of these workers are on medicare because many jobs don’t actually provide healthcare insurance. Not all employers are obligated to provide employees healthcare. These workers rely heavily on these state programs to receive their medical care.
As a result of these funding cuts, many working Americans will be left without another option. This will put at risk their ability to seek preventative care as well as their access the resources they need for any type of healthcare.
The lack of a viable public option or an employer provided option will leave many Americans with no other option. For an Administration that claims to want to make Americans healthy, this will do the exact opposite.
