KY Gov Threatens To Strip Medicaid From 500,000 If Court Strikes Work Rules

5. Since when does Medicaid have "full coverage of dental care"?

I had a sister who had a stroke at a young age, so was on a combo of Medicaid & Medicare in an institution. At no time did she ever have full dental coverage. She had SOME dental coverage....but there was like only one dentist in town who accepted medicaid.

And for work requirements, it's often the case that someone who has been laid off or fired has to go on Medicaid temporarily, since he also lost his insurance and may not be able to afford COBRA, which is VERY expensive. Or maybe even qualified for Medicaid while working, which he now would lose, when he's fired.

Charging for Medicaid is incomprehensible to me. How on earth can someone that poor be able to afford anything besides the bare minimums of housing & food? They can't. Even with some food stamps. And an adult w/o kids, gets only supplemental food assistance in my state for a few months. That's it.
