And, starting Jan 1. People on Medicaid are going to be required to have a job to keep Medicaid. They can also volunteer or enroll in classes.
Very few will be able to do this, not because they won't, but because no one will hire them, regardless of skills. Volunteer opportunities are few in some communities, and classes are expensive.
More old people will die because of this, but of course, NOT the old people who passed the Big Beautiful Bill.
