The local Dollar Store has been closed all week because it doesn't have enough staff ($15/hr).

But several friends who were laid off from tech jobs have been out of work for months, and every job they apply for gets dozens of applicants.
The middle section of the job market really seems tight.

Anyway, I agree. In fact, if Congress made it a law that everyone working more than 20 hours a week for an employer (it's now 28 hours) gets health insurance, then the workers wouldn't need Medicaid.

I'm on Medicare, so no longer need insurance. But I still work, and I actually had a job that was locked at 28 hours a week precisely so they wouldn't have to pay for health care.
Off topic. But if we had nationalized health care, they wouldn't need Medicaid or rules for Medicaid.
