Medicaid Keeps Me Alive — But I Can’t Earn More

Medicaid controls my chronic condition. I can’t work more than 20 hours, or I risk losing coverage. Last month, overtime paid an extra $50. The system instantly revoked my drug benefits. I had to decline shifts just to afford my meds. People say welfare makes people lazy, but without it, I wouldn’t survive. It’s not ability that limits you — it’s the rules. #Medicaid #HealthcareAccess #WorkingPoor #PolicyTrap
