A new infographic from the Kaiser Family Foundation this week lays out some of the ironies of the decision by many southern states not to accept federal money to expand Medicaid health coverage to their lowest-income citizens. With higher rates of poverty and adults more likely to be uninsured, the need for affordable coverage is much higher in the region than in other areas of the country. In fact, nearly 80 percent of adults currently in the Medicaid coverage gap live in the South. So, in the region with the greatest need, the majority of states are doing nothing to address one of the most fundamental problems their lowest income workers face – how to see a doctor when they get sick.
