@amic Ah, that's good! One of the reasons #Daddy_A has permanent problems with his back is because Medi-Cal (California's version of MedicAid) refused to help for over a year. Not because their income wasn't low enough, but because he's an adult male. (His wife and son already had Medi-Cal at the time). The county refused to do emergency care because ACA required him to get Medi-Cal.

I'm still angry about the way ACA and Medi-Cal interacted.
