Medicaid Work Requirements Designed To Drive People Off Of Medicaid.

I worked for a welfare to work program at DOL. The GOP reform turned it into an elimination program harass recipients to leave the program because the reform actually did nothing to help people get work. It provided only one thing. We will make you miserable so you leave.

The Medicaid work fraud is EXACTLY THE SAME DAMNED THING. All it will do is require recipients to jump through meaningless hoops and if they don't make it they are gone. It will not lead to better jobs or a better life. In some case it will be a death sentence.

Many people on Medicaid are already working but cannot afford insurance. They barely afford a roof. Of course "able bodied" will be a very loose definition.
