I think this is one of the big ones that a lot of people in the civilized world don't get. If I lose my job, right now, I lose access to my medications unless I wanna pay the $250/mo to buy them out of pocket. A simple doctor's visit to my NP is about $400 out of pocket assuming no blood draws or anything.

Medicaid exists, but it takes time to kick in, and now I also have to do, and provide proof I did, at least 80 hr/mo of acceptable (validity up to my state) work, community service, or volunteer work, ON TOP OF having to look for a job, in order to keep my Medicaid.
