Trump wants Medicaid Recipients (the elderly) to work for benefits (employment, salary)

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?

Are you confusing that the largest portion of Medicaid goes to senior citizens in nursing homes?

I've always remembered it as:

Got grey hair -> Medicare
Can't get paid -> Medicaid

Did you read the article? Honestly - did you?

Yet you merely post an opinion unsupported by anything factual.

Unless they need to go into a nursing home for more than 30 days.

Educate yourself:

"If you are eligible for Medicare and have low income, you may qualify for help from certain Medicaid programs in your state."

But probably not any more if you live in a red state.

Um, Medicare is for the elderly and those who have been on Social Security Disability for at least two calendar years.

Medicaid is for welfare recipients.

You would probably impress more people if you knew how to tell the difference between the two programs.

Jams, you didn't read the article either. If you had, you wouldn't he doubling down on stubborn denial right now.

God damn. People have no shame.

You know it's a fact as well as I do.
