Wisconsin is the only non-expansion State that allows childless poor to qualify for Medicaid at all. The ACA is literally the only time the reality of Medicaid lined up with public perceptions of it as a poor person entitlement.

'The GOP bill will "make permanent" the Medicaid expansion and "nobody" loses "coverage".'
