What is the Federal Poverty Level?
Medicaid uses the federal poverty level (FPL) as a benchmark to determine income limits for eligibility in each state. Also known as the “poverty line,” the FPL is the amount of annual income earned by a household. The poverty line is a basis for how much money is needed to cover basic necessities like housing, utilities and food, and it varies according to household size. – Medicare Advantage
The Federal Poverty Level in 2023 was $14,580. Imagine having to live on $40 a day to cover food, clothing and shelter!
How the MAGA Supreme Court crippled Medicaid Expansion
“The original Medicaid program was designed to cover medical services for four particular categories of the needy: the disabled, the blind, the elderly, and needy families with dependent children.
Chief Justice Roberts decided that Obamacare by expanding Medicaid changed the program to meet the health care needs of the entire nonelderly population with income below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. He concluded that the ACA expansion made Medicaid no longer a program to care for the neediest among us, but rather an element of a comprehensive national plan to provide universal health insurance coverage.” – Summarized from Health Law
This decision gave MAGA Governed states the license to deny the poor, elderly and disabled Medicare benefits that they would otherwise be entitled to.
America deserves better
No matter where we come from or what’s in our wallets, getting sick and needing care reminds us that we must come together to ensure all of us can get and stay well.Self-interested politicians are choosing to look away when seniors, disabled and the poor are dying at higher rates because they are more interested in padding their pockets with corporate donations than taking care of the people who forced to go without proper care and struggle most to make ends meet.
By pulling together as we’ve done in the past, we can make sure that everyone of us can get the care that our families need to build a stronger, healthier and more just future.
