We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid.

Protecting people from shame by renaming MA has definite downsides.
Why haven't we seen more backlash against the GOP's proposed cuts to Medicaid? One reason is that people may not know they're on Medicaid, because Medicaid has different names in different states (see 🧵). Another is that some people may not realize that they (or their kids) could qualify.
Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

Ok this wide-awake-ness I’m pretty sure is needing alone time. Spouse, toddler, dog, cat are all asleep. I’m watching bad TV & it’s so good.

The world seems to be falling apart. But depending on your perspective, that’s always been happening.

I just read an ad for a sleeping bag that’s free because “it has a leak” and now I feel like I don’t know how sleeping bags work.

My 8mo pregnant self & 3yo tried to get to the on-ice kite festival & #artshanty project but there was a meltdown after 15 minutes waiting for the shuttle. And I’m ok with being a family that doesn’t go on outside adventures on 9 degree windchill days.
