Tanden: Bill Clinton specifically opposed work requirements for Medicaid. He vetoed a bill that had work requirements for Medicaid. So, get your facts straight. You cannot hang this monstrosity on any Democrat.

Haha, it’s cute Dems still haven’t figured out that not only is blaming Dems the GOP’s MO, but it works & their base eats it up You can’t use facts to get someone out of a position they used emotions to arrive at. MAGA is a cult & they don’t exist in reality anymore

We've got millionaire politicians overseeing programs that they will never need to use. They're only working on the behalf of other millionaire and billionaire donors. Something has to be implemented to address the financial gap between millionaire politicians and the people they represent.
