I am poor in the US. My family is on Medicaid. Depending on household size, a family qualifies for Medicaid based on household income. Renewal is a pain in the ass. We always get denied initially, then have to fight for reinstatement. It’s scary. I have a kid that depends on medicine to stay alive. I’m working on growing my side business to pull us out of the poorhouse but it’s a dance. I have to time the growth to occur between renewal periods. I could grow enough to get kicked off Medicaid for good but not enough to afford private insurance. So I have to either stay poor or have phenomenal growth in a six-month period. If I fail, I could lose everything and my kid could die. Poverty: 0/5 stars.
