Awesome posted...
this has been going on ever since the aca went into effect, but its only really getting worse the past two years. i know people on ssi and food stamps that now have co-pays for medication when it was always for free before the aca.


Seems unlikely tbh. Food stamp eligibility ends at 130% FPL, which is below the cut off for Medicaid expansion which does not have copays almost any where, and which cannot have copays above 5% of your annual income by law.

I suppose if you're in a non-expansion state these people could fall in the gap, but in that case how are they making their premium payments without subsidy such that their issue with coverage is their copay? Doesn't make sense.
