calling the medicaid program was NUTS btw, i had been on and off their plan for YEARS and their phone tree thing had NO IDEA who i was and NO WAY for me to speak to an actual human
healthcare(dot)gov was better abt this, but thats what u get w/ federal vs state funding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
very cool and sexy that im shitting myself to death currently b/c im slated to pull in a grand total of $9,500 this year, and that's too much to qualify for my state's medicaid plan
i got a new job back in june and have been fighting w/ my state medicaid agency AND healthcare(dot)gov b/c medicaid says my being *well* below the poverty line is too wealthy to qualify for their coverage, and healthcare(dot)gov says im too poor for anything *other* than medicaid
im too stupid to figure out if im living 35% or 65% BELOW the poverty line but i am stupid enough to know that my meds ran out a month and a half ago <3
im still in my malewife phase, got the last few things to really nail a recipe ive got rolling around in my head for the cookbook zine but rn im trying to focus on icebox cookies after FINALLY, after YEARS, seeing the machine that makes them
