Missing from these documents is any mention of Medicaid expansion, which would make benefits available to anyone earning up to 133% of poverty (~$17K a year for a single person) in the 14 states that haven& #39;t already expanded. https://twitter.com/SeemaCMS/status/1245852878977335296">https://twitter.com/SeemaCMS/...

These are the 14 states that haven& #39;t expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (which provides 90% federal funding for the expansion). They could do so AT ANY TIME if they wanted to protect their low-income residents. (Image via @KFF https://bit.ly/2X3xti9 )">https://bit.ly/2X3xti9&q...

And while the CMS materials in the first tweet from this thread don& #39;t mention Medicaid expansion, they DO mention the Trump administration& #39;s plan to let states gut Medicaid coverage and benefits, which I wrote about the other day. https://bit.ly/2wJlMSZ ">https://bit.ly/2wJlMSZ&q...

And let& #39;s not forget that CMS under Trump could have reopened http://HealthCare.gov"> http://HealthCare.gov  to let uninsured people in most of the country get subsidized private health insurance during the coronavirus pandemic. They refuse to. So does Idaho& #39;s state government. https://bit.ly/3426jKg ">https://bit.ly/3426jKg&q...

There are some states where uninsured people can get health insurance and subsidies to make it more affordable, but don& #39;t delay. Some of the deadlines are very soon, especially in Connecticut and Colorado.

If you live anywhere in the U.S. and lose a job that provided you health benefits, you can enroll on the exchanges, even if they aren& #39;t reopened because of coronavirus. But if your job didn& #39;t have health benefits, you can& #39;t. More here: https://bit.ly/3dU7fVA ">https://bit.ly/3dU7fVA&q...
