I hate this timeline so much.
Most days I just want to sit in a corner and cry.
"Starting this January, patients ages 19 to 64 who do not have dependent children must prove they are working 80 hours a month in order to receive coverage, and enrollees will be required to submit proof of work every six months. The Department of Health Care Services projects that by next June, almost a quarter of million Californians will lose Medi-Cal coverage and another 1.4 million by the following year as a result of the work requirements.
The Trump administration said they are designed to encourage enrollees to get off Medicaid and find a job that can pay for their insurance. "

I mean, WTAF is this shit?? "...the agency in June released even stricter guidelines that redefined the rules so that disabled or sick patients undergoing cancer treatment still have to prove that they’re working. "
