[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Most non child, non elderly people on medicaid DO ACTUALLY HAVE JOBS

True.  I wonder how —or if — corporations like Walmart, that depend upon Medicaid to insure most of their employees who have insurance will handle it.

Many others have unpaid jobs that actually save the state/feds money — including providing unpaid eldercare, which will be needed even more if Medicaid cuts impact nursing home coverage. [/quote]

I work in healthcare policy in a blue state and expect some sort of mandate next year requiring Amazon and Walmart to provide health insurance to employees. It’s shocking how these companies use Medicaid for employees and their dependents.

This bill is awful for healthcare as ER costs will go up dramatically as millions lose health insurance from Medicaid and federal subsidies to purchase off the ACA. A massive cost shifting will take place and those with commercial insurance should expect 15-20% annual premium increases for the foreseeable future. [/quote]

Unless we make a new law that prevents people who lack health insurance to use the ER. [/quote]

+1. Many of the people who would actually suffer in this scenario are Trump voters. If these people die off, I’m better off, and so are all the rest of you who are complaining/virtue signaling right now.[/quote]
