Yes, but you have to find your local bank.. and Medicaid has to be approved at most new doctors offices etc, so it's not the bills as much as having services. You missed or ignored the social supports that would be lost, these matter for poorer people even more.

Explain why you think moving would be "really easy for poor people", not through what they don't have to do compared to rich people, but through what things they HAVE that make it easy.

They have very little things, which by default makes it easier to move. The more stuff you have, the harder it is the move.

You're right I neglected social help through friends and family; I don't believe that's necessary. SSI pays $841/mo maximum and food stamps give you $250/mo. Add a basic $10/hr job and you're making $33k equivalent.

Section 8 requires you to pay only 30% of rent; assuming rent is $1200/mo, which is generous, you'll only be responsible for $360/mo.

You can totally do this.
