Not to mention that qualifying for Medicaid requires that your income doesn’t exceed a certain amount, and that said amount is very low. Make a penny over, and there goes your “benefit.”

I struggle to imagine how one could legally collect Medicaid and do more than sleep or play games.

My partner is T1D, and I’ve seen what ketoacidosis looks like. It’s awful. I simply do not believe that any adult living in a modern society could see those symptoms playing out and think that it would get better without real medical intervention… Especially a father. I think he was looking for an “out,” and he thought he’d found it in this cult.
