Why we checked itThis is a specific income threshold claim about Medicaid eligibility. The actual income limits for Medicaid vary by state and household size and are not typically expressed as an hourly wage figure, making this assertion potentially misleading or inaccurate.
What we foundThe $10/hour figure is a rough approximation that understates the actual Medicaid income threshold, and the claim omits critical variables like household size and state expansion status that substantially raise the effective limit.
