Rep. Andy Harris: "Look, if you're able-bodied without dependents and you choose not to work, well, you shouldn't be on a public welfare program. That's the bottom line ... you should be off the public dole. Yes, you will lose your Medicaid coverage. Get a job."

Boy, you hit the nail on the head. It's the have-a-lots versus the have-littles, and the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill makes the situation much worse!!

Rep Harris, why not talk to your fellow GOP, Rick Scott; he could school you on how to work the system, he oversaw the biggest Medicare fraud in history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Sc...

I love these imaginary welfare queens living in their parents’ basements playing video games. Must be, like, 11 million of them.

Get a job? Maybe he hadn't heard, or doesn't care, that private sector jobs fell in June. According to ADP dove into negative territory.

I met my rep and asked how a self proprietor, who qualifies for aid, and does not punch a clock or get a w-2 would meet the work requirement oversight. He said, I am guessing their tax returns. He did not have an answer. He had no idea the cost, timeline for implementation of oversight. Chaos.

Good questions. I bet they are going with guilty until proven innocent of getting 'undeserved' aid.

Yeah - exactly the case. I brought up rural hospitals and people losing coverage and he said most of those people don’t go to the doctor anyway and they can go to the emergency room. I asked about rural hospitals and he said that was a democrat scare factor. Unfortunately red in my zone.

Scapegoating a very small minority to rip the healthcare away from millions.

They need to refund all the f$c>en Medicare, Social security I've been taxed. If you're gonna tell me I don't have access to my own money, give it back. I'll take better care of it, then make stupid racist toys for the government.

Most low wage jobs don’t offer health insurance. Why will none of these people ever follow up??!!

This makes my blood boil. My daughter just graduated- MPH- no jobs, hundreds of resumes sent. They keep talking like jobs with healthcare are just out there for the taking. Can someone with a platform push back please. There are NO jobs and jobs with healthcare are few and far between!

The ones with healthcare aren't even how they used to be. It seems like they're all super high deductible plans now where you still need to pull thoudandsssssss out of your bum every year before they cover anything. 😭

Does he believe that Medicaid recipients get a cash stipend ("the public dole")? Or is he just blindly repeating talking points someone handed him?

His constituents should note that if they lose their healthcare then according to their rep it's because they are lazy welfare leeches abusing the system.
