House GOP’s Medicaid Reform Would Force Millions of Able-Bodied Americans to Get Back to Work

They're going to require 64 year olds to work for medicaid? Thats kind of too old to be working.

They only need to work 20 hours a week in order to continue getting health care paid by other people. I know many people still working FULL TIME in their mid-60s.

I could care less. Its immoral. Irrefutable unless you are an elitist.

There’s nothing “immoral” about a 62-year having a part-time job.

Yes there is if they've wasted most of their adult life working for our scumbag employers. But hey keep em working, use them up right?

How about able body 24-year olds?

24 year Olds are different than 60 some year Olds. Time you actually understand that. Need some crayons?

The Horror! The Horror!

Unnecessary perhaps. Cut things that help big business.

Responsible adults work.

Why are libtards so insistent that able-bodied adults don’t have to work at all when they rely on other people’s money?

60 some year Olds aren't irresponsible. Most all of them have wasted their adult lives working hard for scumbag employers.

Yes, you’ve made your opinion of those who provide jobs for others quite clear.

So you support denying welfare to able-bodied 24 year olds?

At least we can agree on that

 

[scruffy]

We don't need 64 year olds working anymore though thats for the young people.

That's a horrible way of looking at the world.

Seniors are far wiser and have a lot more experience.

Seniors who sit around watching TV aren't long for this world. Better to have them working and guiding the youngsters.

Does not matter. 64 year olds cant do hard labor

I would say that depends really on the 64 year old. Most people don't retire until about 65-70 years old.

I can't think of a good reason an able-bodied person who could be working should be on Medicaid before 65, can you?

Medicaid is for people who cannot work due to health.

That’s also the socialist way of looking at things - that 64-year-olds have no value to society.
