It is well known that low-income people are willing to pay only a little of their own income on comprehensive health insurance (this is why, e.g., Medicaid rarely requires enrollees to pay anything). 1/3
Yet now @GovPritzker, @GavinNewsom etc. (and soon @realDonaldTrump ?), with their "lockdowns" and "Shelter in place," are forcing many of them to pay ALL of their income for a little insurance against just one condition (#COVIDー19)! 2/3
Yes Congress will throw them a bone. But if you needed any proof that policymakers who say that they want to help low-income people ultimately ignore them, you have it now. 3/3
