Nebraska starts cutting off Medicaid for the non-working

Original version ·

So, Nebraska decided that if you aren't clocking in, you don't get to see a doctor.

It is getting real in Nebraska. The state is officially booting people off Medicaid if they can't prove they are punching the clock enough. This isn't some distant theoretical debate anymore; it is happening right now.

The state's top health official confirmed that roughly 200 people are losing their coverage effectively immediately. Apparently, the paperwork of survival has become a literal gatekeeper for basic healthcare.

Nothing says American dream quite like losing your health insurance because you couldn't navigate the red tape of a job requirement.
