(Medicaid is) "Not for Twenty-nine Year Old Males Sitting on their Couch Playing Video Games." At Last, a Senior Republican says . . .

[Seymour Flops]

. . . the part that should have never been quiet out loud.

Work requirements for Medicaid. According to Johnson that idea has has 90% approval. Why it isn't 99%, I attribute to the large percentage of people who are net takers of taxes.

Is that the "cuts to Medicaid" that Democrats are so afraid of? Work requirements?

Of course it is. Democrats don't want work requirements for federal "workers," why would they want it for Medicaid dolees?

 

[Moonglow]

what if they be paraplegic, 29 and sitting on the couch playing videos?

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Democrats buy votes, Republicans earn votes.
Which is why there are more Democrats than Republicans.

Ok, boot the jobless 29 year old from Medicaid. Now he gets sick: goes to the ER. Has surgery. How is it paid for?

This is who Medicaid is for. If that doesn't suit you, then change the laws.
To qualify for Medicaid, you must meet certain criteria:

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
• Live in the state where you are applying.
• Have an income at or below 138% of the federal poverty level.
• Medicaid provides free or low-cost medical benefits to eligible adults, children, pregnant women, people age 65 or over, and people with disabilities.

Did he say paralegic?

Here's a perspective:

Liberals measure the success of a program by how many people are in it, getting benefits.
Conservative measure the success of a program by how many people don't need it.

In this case, why doesn't a healthy 29-year-old have a job?

We have removed shame for things like this from society, and the result is there is no incentive for people to improve themselves.

How are they able to play video games?

Being paraplegic means loss of function in the legs, not the arms; it refers to paralysis in the lower half of the body, including both legs, while the arms are typically unaffected.

Seems you don't know what paraplegic means.

Of MANY! That's why I keep that one in the STFU Cage.

Bill him for it.

Deduct 25% from every federal, state, or local goverment check he ever gets until it’s paid off.

Good Gawd yall! Did you really think we the 90% would be held hostage to that kind of poor poor pitiful me claims on our hard earned money?

Who cares?

He is 29 and able to work. But in your world, I guess the moment he is rightly removed from the program, he will get suddenly sick and require 100's of thousands of dollars in medical expenses.

It's laughable.

He can get a job, if he is smart -- doubtful but who cares -- he'll get a job with medical insurance and can start paying his own way in life.

Seems you don't know what paraplegic means.

It seems you bought into the horseshit lie that parapaligics are going to be kicked out.

That doesn’t suit me, so I voted for people who would change it. Did you not watch the election?

 

[BULLDOG]

Did he say paralegic?

No. He said all 29-year-olds. Many of them are paraplegic.
