You know what leads to good health? FINDING A FUCKING JOB, YOU LAZY SCUM. Kentucky has just introduced its new Medicaid thingy and hot damn, does Kentucky hate poor people! See, because they had to let people who made up to 138% of the poverty line get things like treatment after heart attacks. (138% of the poverty line in 2017 is $33,948 in yearly income for a family of four.) Anyway, this meant that ABLE-BODIED POOR PEOPLE could get healthcare via a program -- Medicaid -- that they say is only meant for the long-term dependent and pregnant ladies! The SHOCK! The HORROR!
I asked you to look at what job preparation programs they had, what the availability of Medicaid accepting practitioners there were and how the proposed law compared with Kynect while also figuring out who the governor was.
Even that would only be effective if employers had to provide insurance regardless of how many hours were worked. I would bet money that the main reason so many poor and working class people are stuck working multiple part-time jobs is that many employers are dodging having to provide any benefits by only hiring people part-time.
if you had been more than SMRT you would have read the entire program description: this was an 1115 waiver program (something included in the ACA to allow for pilot programs in the states provided they are approved by CMS) which was negotiated under the Obama Administration and the unemployment number they cited was from the Bureau of Labor Statistics report issued on 6/3/16 (not the October and November you looked at and not the last measurement from March which put it at 5% because: read the column headings and footnotes, dipshit). it's a step up program that subsidizes the employees share of the premium in an employer based work plan and you have to be eligible for one before you are eligible for the program. the program maintains full Medicaid benefits through the first year of employment with an employer if the employee so chooses. after the first year *with the same employer*, they are required to enroll while they still maintain the subsidy for the family and the single family full cost will be a sliding scale of $1-15 a month.
I'm not saying it's going to work, but it's not quite the crisis situation you imagined. next time, you might want to read a little more before getting your panties in a twist.
I don't know about the healthcare part, but I just looked up minimum wages adn both states hew to the federal minimum of 7.25 per hour. (fun fact from that, KY starts overtime premium rates after the first 40 ours in a week or, apparently, on the seventh day in a week. KS, however allows lucky workers to work for 46 hours before they get the OT pay bump)Full time work at that rate adds up to $15,080 gross, or quite a bit under the 138% of the poverty line amount of $33,948 for a family of four. Even with two parents both working full time minimum wage jobs, the gross would be $30,160, still well under that 138% mark, and leaving the family with the added expense of child care for children under the age of leaving them alone while parents are off at work.Do these wankers have some magic math explanation for how going to work at mandated minimum wages that STILL bring their families in under the 138% of poverty line will change things? You know, considering that their clients are quite likely already working some job or jobs that just don't pay enough to get them over that line.Asshats! I suppose they have some line justifying their actions anyway, like that ass up north who told the mother that her son should just get a better job if he wants to be healthy.Oh, crap, get this soap box away from me!
You're right about that. We have a lot of parties that say about that - Republicans, Libertarians, something called, IIRC, the American party...And on it goes.

actually, yeah...it kinda is
So, which are we talking here, Kansas or Kentucky? Both?
The very same morons are 100% behind Trump's plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% because he told them that will create jobs. As fucking if.
I'm sorry about your daughter.
How many points to I get for taking out the garbage?

God, this sounds like something out of Black Mirror or some other satire.
Hell, the sway back nags are treated better than the poor.

Thanks, Shibusa.
He never claimed that the money-handlers don't take a significant cut. ;-)
And in the slow-mo replay of the explosion, the perp could be seen to flinch before the bomb detonated? That one?
You're right! All we can say for sure is that no crime has been made public. Absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence.
