Leavitt on Medicaid: "It should be going to people who physically cannot work. We want to see able-bodied Americans at least working 20 hours a week."

I’m sure grandmas who rely on it love to hear that

What the hell is this? Healthcare Apartheid?

The push for Medicaid work requirements is a classic case of bureaucratic overreach disguised as fiscal responsibility. Let’s cut through the spin: Georgia’s Pathways program spent $26 million with 90% funneled to administrative bloat and consultants like Deloitte, while only 3,500 people enrolled. That’s $7,400 per enrollee wasted on red tape—not care. HHS data confirms these schemes don’t boost employment; they strip coverage. Most Medicaid recipients already work or are caregivers, students, or too sick to comply with paperwork gauntlets. Arkansas’s failed experiment saw 18,000 lose coverage in months, and CBO projects 600,000 more uninsured nationally if this expands. Real reform? Streamline enrollment, slash middlemen, and stop burning taxpayer cash on systems designed to fail.

This frames Medicaid as strictly a safety net for the disabled not a broader support system. Tying benefits to a 20-hour work requirement reflects a shift toward ‘workfare’-style policies. Critics argue it risks cutting off low-income recipients with unstable hours or caregiving duties.

Only idiots think it is cheaper as a country to not insure as many people as possible.

Welp 20 hours a week is more than what Trump does in a week. Unless you count all the golfing he does.

While they destroy the economy and job losses grow, where do they think these "able bodied people" find a job?

They love to make it sound like people are getting money. It’s freaking healthcare coverage not a weekly check!!! @PressSec go F yourself please.

Only a Democrat could POSSIBLY disagree with such a common sense statement.
