[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I just read the interview at the link you posted, and he was talking about removing people from Medicaid who are physically able to do something - work, school, even helping sick family members - but don't or won't. His comment "prove that you matter" seems to be more about encouraging those individuals to take more interest in their own lives. [/quote]

You are so gullible.

People who aren’t doing anything generally have addiction or mental health issues, often undiagnosed.

Finding a job can be impossible, even for educated hard workers. Long term unemployed??

School? School?  School costs a LOT of money. (checks notes… Dept of Education probably won’t help)

Okay, I guess we can have people earn credits for helping sick family members who likely lost Medicaid, whose tracking that?

This is Welfare Queen fantasy all over again

I wish they would provide the data when they talk about fraud, etc.  A friend of mine lost his job during the 2008 crisis and has had a hard time finding something permanent since then because he was in his 50s at the time and nobody wants to hire older workers (he's in his 60s now).  He has done contract work to fill the gap, but that often doesn't provide health insurance, and he has two children under the age of 26.[/quote]
