The callousness of MAGA

Obviously you've been feed, supplied all your needs by either the government or relatives. But you also are truly ignorant of most people that WANT to be independent. They don't like to be dependent especially on socialists!

The callousness of MAGA

No, the voice of realism. When you reward a type of behavior you get more of it. Paying an able-bodied person NOT to work is not evil, it is practical. You wouldn't pay a stranger not to work if he was capable of it, why should the rest of us do so? You want to be generous with other people's money, but not your own. Feel free to pick up a homeless stranger on the street, invite him/her into your house, feed him/her and give him/her money out of your pocket and then come back and tell the rest of us how heartless we are. Until you do that shut the hell up.

Define need. If someone refuses to support him/herself, are they legitimately needy? I agree that we should support people UNABLE to work like the violently mentally ill or those physically unable to work. But people capable of working need to support themselves. Even if those disabled are receiving aid, they should be doing some kind of work, even if it is busy work to return a benefit to society.

Two words: shut up. Look up 'empathy.' Don't need to read twats' like you.

Almost all of your comments are YOUR personal observations...no links, no substation... just your personal BIASED point of view. Versus... I almost all the time provide SUBSTANTIATION for my comments! Proof! So anyone comparing your personal, subjective comments versus all they have to do is follow the links I provide can be confident that what I am quoting mind you NOT MY subjective opinion... are FACTS... NOT GUESSES!

Your facts often come from unreliable conspiracy sites.

You write for money, so you try them out here to see if they fly with demographic of the targeted readers.

And you a profound cognitive bias that blinds you, so you are what you are: unworthy of being believed.

BUT THEY ARE drawing assistance dummy!
AGAIN the facts are this!

No, they are not. It's that type of falsehood that tumbles you every time.

 

[DukeU]

Not really. Our taxes are based on our income, not what the government spends as evidenced by the soon to be $40T national debt.

Been to the doctor lately?

I use to have great insurance, now my deductible is $7000.

Have empathy. Start paying for others.

FACT!!!
Medicaid primarily provides coverage for healthcare services. This includes things like doctor visits, prescription drugs, hospital care, and potentially other optional services like physical therapy. In some cases, able-bodied adults may also be subject to work requirements in order to maintain their Medicaid benefits
Currently, Medicaid lacks a work requirement for able-bodied adults. Because of Obamacare Medicaid expansion, the federal government pays states more to cover working-age, single men than it does for vulnerable pregnant women or individuals with disabilities.
For Medicaid recipients who do not report working, the most common activity after sleeping is watching television and playing video games. They spend 4.2 hours per day watching television and playing video games, or 125 hours during a 30-day month. That is more than 50 percent higher than the 80 hours they would be required to work or otherwise engage with the community during at least some months under the reconciliation bill. They spend on average 6.1 hours per day, or 184 hours per month on all socializing, relaxing and leisure activities (including television and video games). In the average day they spend about 0.36 hours (i.e., 22 minutes) looking for work, 4.0 hours doing housework and errands, and 0.47 hours (i.e., 28 minutes) caring for other
The American Enterprise Institute reported that the American Time Use Survey (2019, 2021-2023) found that of able-bodied Medicaid recipients without dependents, those not working spend as much time playing video games and watching TV as those who work spend on work, 4.2 hours per day. That’s 125 hours per month, over 50 percent higher than the 80 hours of community engagement the One Big Beautiful Bill Act requires.

The crops must be harvested if we want to eat.

Get your butt out there.

I already did.........now YOU get off YOUR lazy ass and do it, especially if you want all those able-bodied that refuse to work to eat. Put up or shut up

Why do Republicans gloat over taking away health coverage from 12 million people?

Its what they have become.

Catastrophic insurance is not great insurance and pulls down the quality.

I have for many years. My paid taxes eclipse almost all here by many times. I have done very well, and I am fine with doing my share. I wish others were.

You are not the expert, and you know it. I know not one able-bodied medicare male who is not working. I do know mothers of several children who don't work. I don't expect them to.

You are so full of crap.

Yes I have. My maximum annual per person out of pocket is less than that. I can only only assume you opted for the least expensive policy available to check a box.

Again.. with nearly 14 million people on Medicaid being ABLE-Bodied but not working... total waste but of course people like you probably pay no taxes, and receiving public funds paid by the rest of us!

They are able bodied WORKERS who applied for Obama care, but earned too little income to qualify...

While earning too much to qualify for medicaid....

They are poorer people than those getting a lot of help with obamacare....they earn less than citizens we help, and earn slightly more than the Medicaid cap.

The Obamacare Medicaid expansion....40 states have expanded Medicare through the Obamacare expansion, out of the 50 states....

You are cutting off some of the poorest working class citizens, not illegals as spun by the Trumper liars, who are very poor, whose employers do not offer health insurance as a benefit, from getting healthcare.

Well congrats to you........and as I'd said before I picked berries in the field........not the store, derp

You call me a slag even though I worked for everything, but you applaud those who don't because they refuse......Ok, whatever
