STI Rates, Including HIV, Could Spike Due to Medicaid Cuts
HIVPlusMag ^ | Sept 25, 2023 | Doug Wirth

In recent weeks, we have seen a troubling trend develop. Five million Americans have been removed from Medicaid rolls, and many millions more are on the verge of losing coverage as a result of the Medicaid enrollment cuts. This represents the single greatest threat to our progress toward ending the HIV epidemic in years.

During the pandemic, Medicaid enrollment grew by an estimated 20 million people, contributing to the uninsured rate dropping to the lowest level on record in early 2022. But, after a three-year period during which states provided continuous enrollment in exchange for enhanced federal funding, some states resumed disenrolling people from Medicaid on April 1. A recent KFF survey found that 17 million people could lose Medicaid coverage as a result of this process, referred to as the Medicaid β€œunwinding.”

The "cuts" they refer to are simply Medicaid returning to normal pre-pandemic operations. But the parasites won't have anything taken away from them once given.

Why do people need Medicaid to avoid contracting an STD? Not having sex with a diseased person is a no-cost action.

Stop putting your penis where it does not belong. Problem solved.

Remember, you live in a country where people willingly go into tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt for a piece of paper that they believe is all but mandatory to get a job.

The cuts in morality is what causes AIDS and STI. Medicaid
has nothing to do with it. Stupid is supposed to hurt.

That’s a rather pathetic footnote on the health and personal responsibility of much of the nation.

*sigh*

We were told SO MANY times that Obamacare was going to completely fix health care and all these problems would be behind us. Nancy said we could all quit our jobs and become poets because we would no longer have to worry about being bankrupted by bad health insurance.

What happened to those GOVERNMENT promises? Were they not worth the paper they were written on?

Oh, I’m still waiting for my Obama-promised $1,500 check. Or was it $1,800. Can I sue the bastards?

Well, yes, but I’m not sure that’s directly related.

Or, people could be a lot more selective about whom they hook up with. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and you don’t need insurance for it.

One of the core, idealized "goods" in the vision of the left, is unrestricted sex with anyone you want to have sex with, anywhere, anytime, ala "Brave New World". The left sees it as a prophetic vision, not a dystopia.

Any restriction on sex, anywhere, anytime, with anyone or anything, is seen as evil, by the left.

You can’t do a background check on your date without medicaid? I’m pretty sure all you need is a device with an internet connection. You can’t buy condoms without medicaid either? I think this is called “irresponsible behavior”...

Very True, and all sin has a cost. But as regards the physical and financial (sorry for some large sizes):
