Maggie Maybe<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@SeanCasten" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>SeanCasten</span></a></span> and it’s a huge problem for people who are disabled but who haven’t been deemed disabled by Social Security yet. I ran into this issue when I moved back to New Hampshire from California well I was waiting for my disability appeal hearing. At the time New Hampshire was still trying to avoid expanding Medicaid at all, so even though I literally had zero income the state said I wasn’t disabled because I might be able to work if I had spine surgery, but I couldn’t have Medicaid and be evaluated for spine surgery because I’m not disabled because I might be able to work if I had spine surgery.</p><p>I had to fight them for 10 months and the only reason I won was because I found a spine surgeon who would see me and bill me later and he determined that I wasn’t actually a candidate for spine surgery. He was able to write me a letter in time for the fair hearing so I won. I also won food stamps. They were really mad about it they had to give me like $3000 worth because they withheld them for 10 months when I should have been receiving them.</p><p>People will die. The only reason I didn’t die is because my mom helped me, because I had a PCP who would see me and bill me later, and the few times I needed pharmaceuticals I somehow figured out how to get money for them. </p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicaid</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/WorkRequirements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkRequirements</span></a></p>
