[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]

Who cares?  The argument that we shouldn’t have a work requirement for Medicaid is a weak one.

It’s kind of like the argument we shouldn’t deport illegals because they pick fruit. Since when is the Democratic Party unsupportive of higher wages for Americans?

It’s terrible for democrats to go against the common sense stuff because then people ignore the terrible policy changes. [/quote]

Ok, perhaps you’re right! What’s the argument FOR having a work requirement for Medicaid?  State your position well enough and you might actually get more agreement than you expect. [/quote]

The thing to under is that administering a work requirement also costs a lot of money in itself.  Adding additional hoops costs money to administer.  [/quote]

I’m well aware of that. I’m asking the PP to defend their position.  Saying something is “terrible “ without saying WHY it’s “terrible” isn’t an argument.  I’m starting to get why so many people are duped by charlatans.  Someone could read the PP’s comment, pat themselves on the back for having “common sense” and avoiding “terrible policy changes” — without bothering to notice that the comment they’ve been taken in by has zero actual content. I’m at least trying to challenge that. [/quote]
