        My statement about being in a state that funds Medicaid properly is true.

        In Maryland Medicaid is actually decent coverage, meaning you ought to be able to get covered. I was laid off and the state automatically gave me Medicaid. It covered everything my previous insurance did, no hoops to jump through.

        In Virginia … you’re fucked.
