2. To qualify for Expanded Medicaid you would have be a family of 4 and make less than $24,000. Not all states took the Expanded Medicaid money from the Fed. The state of Texas does not have Expanded Medicaid. There are only two states in the south that took it (Arkansas and Kentucky) What state does your girlfriend live in? Only 31 out of the 50 states took the ACA "Expanded Medicaid"
3. Expanded Medicaid which is a part of the ACA bill signed into law by Obama, could be replaced once the repeal is completed. The republicans like Mitch McConnell and others are saying the full replacement could take 3 years. The republicans will have to discuss in committee what the replacement bill will look like.
4. Trump did make that statement that is in post #2. The only two things that Trump has said in public about the ACA that he wants to keep is "Children can stay on their parents insurance plan until age 26 and people with pre-existing conditions can't be denied coverage.
5. I would agree with Bino that your friend will probably be okay. However, there isn't any "Expanded Medicaid" in the state of Texas. If your friend is getting help from the state of Texas it is something other than "Expanded Medicaid".

#1 .. .the lady (R.M.) didn't say a thing about "Expanded Medicaid"!
#2 ... Your own post proves you don't know the difference between the two, because you don't even know who "medicaid" covers .... (Are you a Texas resident?)
You actually cited the "LatinTimes" as your legal source?
"
Medicaid provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including
eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities."

Welcome to Texas:

I have had conversations with many single parents (or soon to be single parents) with children, who can no longer afford the health insurance offered by their employers because of the horrendous increase in premiums CAUSED BY OBAMACARELESS and they have obtained health care coverage for their children, which is required by the Texas Family Code if they cannot afford "private" health care for their children and/or the parent obligated to support the children and provide health care coverage is not doing so or can't because it is cost prohibitive.
NONE OF THEM have every complained to me they were unable to obtain health care for their children ... meaning they were denied care the children needed ... whether it be emergency room or otherwise.
I realize this quote is not from some propaganda rag you rely upon for your internet blog bullshit ... and is actually from the Texas Medicaid website stating THE FACTS ... but it further demonstrates just how full of shit you are ...
"Expansion of Medicaid Managed Care
Quote:
Most people in Texas who have Medicaid get their services through managed care. In this system the member picks a health plan and gets Medicaid services through that health plan's network of providers. Most health plans offer Medicaid members extra services not available through traditional Medicaid.
Right now, there are three Medicaid managed care programs in Texas: STAR, STAR+PLUS, and STAR Health. The 2013 Texas Legislature approved several expansions of Medicaid managed care and directed HHSC to develop a performance-based payment system that rewards outcomes and enhances efficiencies. Managed care expansion plans include:

And BTW: Texas had such coverage BEFORE OBAMACARELESS was inacted. In addition Texas had a website operated by the Texas Insurance Commission where a person COULD SHOP for health insurance coverage BEFORE OBAMACARELESS!!!!
is that what you've been doing? insulting me? holeeee shit
