"The food stamp cuts could be particularly harmful for low-income diabetics who live in red states refusing Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion. Researchers from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) found that uninsured Americans with diabetes are significantly less likely to have a regular source of medical care, to have had a check-up in the past two years, to have access to urgent medical care, and pay almost ten times more out-of-pocket to treat their diabetes than diabetics with Medicaid coverage.
Many of the Republican-led states rejecting the Medicaid expansion have some of the highest rates of diabetes in the country — and the coming SNAP cuts could mean more of them ending up in the hospital without the means to pay for their treatment."
