Not the Medicaid part, but the other users must make at least 12,000 a year to even be able to apply for insurance on the marketplace.
This part is really bad for some, for example part-time students in states that rejected the Medicare expansion.
It caught my daughter who went back for training in another job.

So the Republicans a doubly wrong that it is "benefiting only those lazy "takers" who didn't want to work."
