By skyforbes I’ll start off by saying I’m seeing a lot of posts saying that trumps new bill that’s supposed to be starting in 2027 is actually being implemented in a lot of ways NOW.
secondly, I live in Alabama to be able to access medical benefits as an adult you have to be a caretaker of someone under 18 and make less than $300ish a month, you get 14 visits a year and they cover 5 meds a month, but they’ll still cover labs after that. After that it’s 100% out of pocket. They cover nothing for dental (had to have most of my molars removed due to infections:cost of everything and my front tooth has chipped now. I have nutritional and immune issues.) I’m 36.
If the bill requires adults to be working 80/hr a month how will this work?
I can work some but I’ll be dead if I can’t access the meds keeping me alive while doing it. If they had expanded Medicaid I could have worked some and paid in and kept my meds (I should have tried to move, but it seems all states are about to go sideways.)
I’m so confused at how all of this is about to work and frankly a bit terrified and questioning if I should move my kids and myself somewhere else as soon as I can. Ideally I want to just get better and not need but the drs don’t seem to know how and the insurance seems to be too expensive to be helpful either.
How is everyone else juggling and coping with everything?
