[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]

And, the way this it will be implemented is to ACTUALLY make the paperwork so difficult that people who DO QUALIFY are not able to get through the red tape and are kicked off.  Someone who is working multiple minimum wage jobs or is elderly or impaired in some way and may not have easy access to the internet, the hours required to complete the paperwork, or the days to wait on hold to get help doing the paperwork EVERY MONTH in order to continue to qualify even though they do.

Link to LAST WEEK TONIGHT that helps explain the problem with the requirements.[/quote]

This. Some states are counting on the onerous requirements bumping people from the rolls. 
[b]People already have stories about how their relative with alzheimers is going to need to be requalified each month from their memory care.[/b] What an infernal waste of resources. This administration is obscene. [/quote]

Welcome to reality. My parents paid for memory care. Plenty of Americans spend everything they have and then expect the government to fund memory care in old age.

There absolutely should be a challenging process for having the US taxpayer pay for memory care for a relative.

You’re simply not going to garner much sympathy arguing these changes shouldn’t be implemented because it’s a PIA to reapply. Guess what it’s a pain to submit my hours every week to work but when someone is paying for you, there is often a cost. [/quote]

Did you really think your parents paying for memory care has any relevance to this?

To the nursing homes that will be doing the work not the patient who can’t even remember his date of birth.  [/quote]
