Rep. Brett Guthrie on Medicaid cuts: "There was an AEI study that studied this group of people who are able-bodied and not working. It said they spend over 6 hours a day on video games and socializing. That's just not fair."

They’re constantly shifting the narrative. So the new metric for healthcare access is… how many hours someone spends not working? Sounds less like policy and more like punishment. Medicaid is a lifeline, not a reward for productivity. And citing a think tank study about video games to justify cutting healthcare is not serious governance. It’s moralizing with a budget axe.

The study actually covers broader leisure activities, including TV, and ignores that 64% of Medicaid recipients work or face barriers like caregiving or disabilities.

Rep. Guthrie’s claim oversimplifies Medicaid cuts. The AEI study he cites may exaggerate screen time for "able-bodied" adults, ignoring structural barriers to work. Fairness demands nuance, not stereotypes. Cuts risk harming vulnerable people.

A classic phantom political war… designed to brand a vague type of American as the enemy and the reason for their actions.

Mehmet Oz: "When the program was created 60 years ago, it never dawned on anyone that you would take able-bodied individuals who could work and put them on Medicaid. Today the average able-bodied person on Medicaid who doesn't work, they watch 6.1 hours of television or just hang out. That's not fair. Go out and try to get a job."

People who are receiving Medicaid who are able-bodied and capable of working should be working. The people this program was created for must be the ones receiving it. This is common sense!

French President Macron on video games: It is bad for your children to let them spend hours and hours in front of violent video games that condition them to violence. There are video games that sometimes even have an educational aspect and that are good. But it is clear that there are violent video games that create excitement and dependency, where young people and adolescents spend hours and hours and sometimes do not sleep. So we see sleep disorders and other problems. That is what I say to families first: your role is to pay attention to your children and your adolescents. Do not let them spend that much time.
