The oligarchs have spoken! You must work yourself to the bone if you want even the most basic healthcare.
In actuality, most people on Medicaid already work, Also, in any state this was enacted, it only increased bureaucracy (with recipients having to repeat show they were employed during every year) and didn’t increase employment.
The GOP is pushing it specifically because it will kick people off Medicaid.

I'm sorry, OP; do you have food kitchens or churches nearby? Good luck.

Walmart, Tesla, and Amazon have a majority of their workers on Medicaid (at least here in Nevada). These people are already working. This is all a pretext for the Republicans to gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

...so many of these folks are unemployable. Lord help us!
And when we cut eligibility for Medicaid, the default for care becomes the most expensive option: hospitals.

So there’s no issue with most people? I assume there will be outrage anyway.

Work rules have always been more expensive for states than actually giving Medicaid. They all eventually stop tracking

It should be an issue for no one. Healthcare is a human right

Medicaid is the cheapest way to pay for healthcare. It’s smarter to put people on Medicaid tha. To allow them to go uninsured to the ER.
The ER will eventually bill the state the full cost. Instead the state could have paid the $100 Medicaid reimbursement.
