[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider that the cuts to Medicaid will lead to increased healthcare costs and/or lack of healthcare facilities for everyone. Do you want to live in a country with a class of people who don’t get healthcare? It’s disgusting.[/quote]

Reverting to a work requirement of 20 hours per week for healthy non pregnamt adults is not an unreasonable burden.[/quote]

Except the vast majority on Medicaid programs are kids, elderly and disabled---people who cannot work.  [/quote]

Also, where are these 20 hour a week jobs? They aren't in every state. I know people who have been looking for months and not found something.

Also the requirement to constantly reapply will bog everything down is massive papework.

It will be a crapshow of amazing proportions.

My kid just got a 20-hour a week job yesterday as a cashier. He applied to three places, interviewed at two, and got a job - all within biking distance of our house- with zero work experience and with a 16 year old male’s executive function capabilities.

I’m not saying that all the people who need to meet these requirements will have the same experience but it’s not an impossible thing.

I agree that the requirement to constantly reapply will be a crapshow of amazing proportions.[/quote]

Your anecdote isn’t the norm, despite your rationalization. At all. Kids the same age. Please read in major news outlets about college grads not getting jobs, their unemployment rate is significantly higher. Know adults looking for a year. Shut it! [/quote]

If you don't see the difference between a 16 YO looking for a part-time summer job and a college grad looking for their entry level position, I don't know how to help you. Yes, PP's anecdote IS the norm. There are plenty of part-time, hourly jobs available if you would get out of leafy McLean once in a while.[/quote]
