ICYMI: Sue Abderholden, the executive directive of NAMI Minnesota, provided a commentary to the Star Tribune considering possible cuts to Medicaid and the impacts they would have in Minnesota.
From the opinion:
The experience of work requirements in Arkansas shows that 18,000 adults lost coverage and faced medical debt, delayed care or stopped taking their medications. Verifying that you were working or should be exempt was very difficult because counties did not have the infrastructure to track work hours and people who were working lost coverage due to red tape… Let’s not cut funding for Medicaid simply to provide tax cuts to people with high incomes. A healthy state requires healthy people, and now is not the time to cut Medicaid.
