Right now, there are who knows how many who are forced to get lawyers to help them navigate through the SS Disability system and it might take years to finally be declared "disabled".
You might be surprised to know that there are "young healthy" mothers who give birth to a 1.5lb preemie who is in a NICU at a hospital, facing $1 million of medical bills. You will see more of that with the "forced birth" GOPers where women end up with premature infants that need extra medical care and she is told to get her ass out to work.

The "problem" isn't those who are using Medicaid because most who do are forced to because they have NO INSURANCE. They may be gig workers with 2 or 3 part-time jobs and can't even afford ACA coverage and their various jobs don't offer medical insurance.
