wtf is going on in Oklahoma, Missouri, Maine, North Carolina, Indiana, etc? Expand Medicaid and still be in the red for medical debt 🤨

some red? I don't understand. Do you think the expanded medicaid is a cure all? Its not universal healthcare it just reduces the red from where you see it in the intense red areas.

A lot of red! Look at Oklahoma! Or Missouri!

California is some red. One red county, fine.

More than a dozen? Something is seriously wrong in these states and I want to know why Medicaid expansion didn't fix it. There's an explaination, don't just handwave it away.

Oklahoma expanded Medicaid in 2020. Most of these states expended it over a decade ago. A lot of debt buildup occurred in that time. Not sure about the other indebted states but I wouldn't be surprised if they were similar

Oh fk the Medicaid expansion didn't come with debt relief, of course, I guess I forgot what country this is 😒
