The choice is work or die. Apparently many dems think people will choose to die instead of work, volunteer, or go to school. In some cases they may be right. I really don't have any sympathy for able bodied people who choose not to work, volunteer, or go to school. As far as illegals go, they have the choice to self deport or die.
You guys are going all in on the PEOPLE WILL DIE propaganda, huh?We examine the causal effect of health insurance on mortality using the universe of low-income adults, a dataset of 37 million individuals identified by linking the 2010 Census to administrative tax data. Our methodology leverages state-level variation in the timing and adoption of Medicaid expansions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and earlier waivers and adheres to a preregistered analysis plan, a rarely used approach in observational studies in economics. We find that expansions increased Medicaid enrollment by 12 percentage points and reduced the mortality of the low-income adult population by 2.5 percent, suggesting a 21 percent reduction in the mortality hazard of new enrollees. Mortality reductions accrued not only to older age cohorts, but also to younger adults, who accounted for nearly half of life-years saved due to their longer remaining lifespans and large share of the low-income adult population.

One can only hope that over time the lies told by Repubs regarding Medicaid cuts and "able bodied adults" will become fully understood by the voting public. This, despite the most cynical political maneuver I can recall.
At the core of Republicans’ newly finalized domestic policy package is an important political calculation. It provides its most generous tax breaks early on and reserves some of its most painful benefit cuts until after the 2026 midterm elections.
Nothing is a lie until it's proven to be a lie.
You seem to enjoy making a lot of assumptions about those evil Medicaid recipients as a way to assuage your guilt.
What is the effect of illegals using the EDs of hospitals where there is no compensation whatsoever for the hospitals? Is this being factored into the above appraisal?
Repeating a steaming pile of crap didn't improve on it's gross inaccuracies.

Those are few and far between.
