Hope all those old and disabled Fox News viewers who voted for him are ready to work for the meds that keep them alive. THIS is what they voted for - having to work for Medicaid benefits.
And who decides who is able bodied? I feel bad for the elderly who did not vote for Trump but zero mercy for the ones who did.
Really funny, I learned a long time ago to not believe a word of GOP rhetoric. Bad enough that when they pass bills the titles are opposite of what is in the bill
I would love it if just one major GOP politician would have the cajones to admit they believe, "If your job does not warrant you getting health coverage, you do not warrant extensive health care." IE just go die already.
Rubio already let the cat out of the bag. After this tax cut for the wealthy, the GOP will cut everything except what benefits their donors.
They might wait till the mid terms. If the GOP control the House and Senate say good by to SS and Medicare. . Say hello to more war spending. The biggest deficits ever and the repeat of 2008. This time without the safety net.
OP, are you confusing Medicaid with Medicare, perhaps? The article specifically refers to Medicaid, not Medicare. It also states that the proposed changes are for able-bodied adults, and that they are seeking "community engagement", which means jobs, education, or volunteer work.
I know that none of this is as attention-grabbing as your thread title and post, but one is factual, and one is erroneous and sensational. You're either greatly mistaken, or dishonest. So which is it?
"Such requirements are likely to be imposed in states carried by Trump. The Post reports that 10 states are already trying to get permission to impose them, almost all of them red states. This, among other things, leads Harold Pollack, a health-policy expert at the University of Chicago, to conclude that “Medicaid work requirements may hit Trump country hardest.”
There you go, red states. How do you like your president now?

Conservatives don't seem to grasp that we've moved past the 19th century.
Being an "able bodied adult" means very little with regards to finding a job.
