In reply to the discussion: The Cruelty of Republican States in One Chart [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)41. No, here is the chart
by elibility as a percentage of FPL in 2013
http://kff.org/medicaid/state-indicator/income-eligibility-low-income-adults/
Note that in Alabama, parents qualify at only 23 percent of FPL. Childless adults do not qualify.
The chart you linked to is effective January 2014.
Childless adults still don't qualify for Medicaid in Alabama.

Your chart in the OP uses a family of 3, not individuals (n/t) and done. Go on w/your bad self.
