[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]
