佛蒙特八家免费诊所为没保险居民守住基本医疗安全网
随着联邦医疗保险政策的调整，佛蒙特州许多居民正面临保障中断的风险，全州八家免费和慈善诊所成为没保险人群的基本医疗安全网。
据 WCAX 报道，佛蒙特州近期实施了新的工作要求，部分参加 Medicaid（医疗补助）的居民被要求证明自己达到工作时数标准；与此同时，Medicaid 的续保审核仍在进行，部分居民因为手续问题而被取消资格。对于那些夹在中间、既没雇主保险也暂时失去 Medicaid 的人，全州八家免费诊所成为他们仍然可以看病的地方。诊所工作人员呼吁，受政策变化影响、担心失去保险的居民，尽快联系当地诊所或保险顾问，了解接续方案。（GSM 据 WCAX 报道）
Vermont's Eight Free Clinics Remain a Safety Net for the Uninsured
As federal health policy shifts, many Vermonters face the risk of losing coverage, and the state's eight free and charitable clinics remain a basic safety net for the uninsured.
Vermont has recently implemented new work requirements, under which some Medicaid enrollees must document that they meet work-hour standards, WCAX reported; at the same time, Medicaid renewal reviews continue, and some residents have lost eligibility over paperwork issues. For people caught in between — without employer coverage and temporarily off Medicaid — the state's eight free clinics are places they can still get care. Clinic staff urge residents worried about losing coverage to contact a local clinic or insurance navigator about bridge options. (GSM, via WCAX)
