[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is not what he said and you know it, OP.

Nowhere does he say "don't matter" as you have stated or that they "don't deserve healthcare."

He is basically telling them to get a life.  Do something productive.  If you want the government to PAY for your healthcare, do something.  
And, you seem to have a problem with that.

Here are his comments:

“We’re asking that able-bodied individuals who are able to go back to work at least try to get a job or at least volunteer or take care of loved-one who needs help or go back to school,” he said. “Do something that shows you have agency over your future.”
If Americans are willing to do that, he added, they should be able to be enrolled or stay enrolled in Medicaid.
“But if you are not willing to do those things, we are going to ask you to do something else. Go on the exchange, or get a job and get onto regular commercial insurance. But we are not going to continue to pay for Medicaid for those audiences.”

“Go out there, do entry-level jobs, get into the workforce, prove that you matter. Get agency into your own life,” he added. “It’s a much more enjoyable experience if you go through life thinking you are in control of your destiny and you will get better insurance at the same time.”[/quote]

I still want to see the data regarding how many able-bodied people are not working.[/quote]
