Reverting to a work requirement of 20 hours per week for healthy non pregnamt adults is not an unreasonable burden.

Except the vast majority on Medicaid programs are kids, elderly and disabled---people who cannot work.

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.

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

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.

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.

I'm a medical social worker and I welcome any of you who think medicaid should be less accessible to come meet my clients and tell them that to their face. Let's start with the mom of a 6 year old with a rare genetic disease (which requires constant care) who has gone absolutely bankrupt to qualify and is now living in absolute agony wondering if it will get ripped away and her child will suffer and with absolutely no exaggeration...die. You would like this family, hard working, middle class, good people who are suffering because as PP says...healthcare is not a human right.

Letting people die preventable deaths due to poverty is inhumane. And most doctors would tell you that.

Unless they are MAGA scum. Let those fkers die a miserable death - that they brought on themselves.

Exactly.

We are also weirdly benefiting from the DOGE insanity but it’s still a horrible loss for all of us.

How?

Some cut work is still essential. Someone has to do it.

Like which ones? Education? EPA??

No need to draw attention to feds who are trying to keep the ship afloat while the rats try to sink it.

Thrilled for $1000? If that's a lifechanger read the rest of the bill you will get hosed.

You understand it’s being invested in index funds for every American child, right? Run that through an investment calculator and report back. Every American child is effectively getting a trust fund that will be worth hundreds of thousands to millions depending how long they let it appreciate after 18.

Great, then I suspect you won’t be on Medicare when you’re older.

We can only hope.

So, you see someone, like a child, dying on the side of the road, and the first thing you ask is, "Do you have insurance?". And if they say no, then you just walk away.

Forgot to mention our income is $600k and we live in Maryland.

DP unkind. This is a maga bill with the sole purpose of punishing people. You ignore that but say the pp is unkind for pointing it out. Fox News called and wants to stop issuing unauthorized talking points.
