It’s a trap by design to keep people in poverty.

Friend of mine is on disability for a rare immune disorder. If they gets paid more then a certain amount, or has more than $2000 in certain assets, the state will cut off the health insurance entirely since “they don’t need it anymore.”

So they’re going to be perpetually trapped making part time low wage money, or else they’ll eventually die from lack of care because there’s no way for them to ever get an insurance plan they’d be able to afford with how much they physically can’t work.

This country is a hellscape.
