I decided to take the GOP's "Gamer Dudebros are the new Welfare Queens" mantra at face value. If this was true, unemployment should have skyrocketed after Medicaid expansion went into effect, right? acasignups.net/25/07/11/abo...

People want to work, they can’t and they need help, forcing them to work isn’t the solution. Listening to Dr Oz I’m sickened. I remember when I had COVID and almost died. For a few months I couldn’t get out of bed. Working was not going to happen. Even walking was difficult. He’s the fraud here.

I'm retired & homebound & don't watch 6 hrs of TV. I don't even have cable. But I do know people who just leave the TV on for company. Sometimes it's the only human voice the elderly hear for days. But I don't know anyone on Medicaid or not who watches 6 hrs of TV a day unless it's football season

Republicans may be thinking if you are disabled (leg in cast and unable to use crutches) you should not watch TV, but you also can't go to work. This only causes a lot of paperwork which may cause some folks to just give up. 99% of able bodied people are not sitting home doing nothing, stupid!!

What is an able-bodied person on Medicaid? Is there a more perfect paradox? No matter the appearance, someone is on Medicaid BECAUSE he or she is NOT able-bodied and cannot possibly earn enough to treat a serious medical condition, whether it's chronic, or the result of an accident, or just age.

An able-bodied person on Medicaid is a very rare bird, indeed. Better to look harder at applicants than condemn millions of appropriate folks to the punishment only a few deserve.

Lots and lots of able-bodied people are on Medicaid. And that's okay because Medicaid is largely about income level, not just disability.

Thanks. Of course you're right, because what a person earns reflects what a person can survive, if sick or disabled. Before Oz quit medicine, his surgeries were so risky/advanced, few could have afforded them without guarantees from solid insurers, like Medicaid. Today, he sings a different tune.

These individuals may be more likely to be working or in school than those who qualified under traditional Medicaid rules. #3: Research shows that a large proportion of Medicaid enrollees who could be considered "able-bodied" are already working or in school, according to the Commonwealth Fund.

Rather than focusing solely on "able-bodied" status, it's important to consider the various limitations and barriers that prevent some Medicaid recipients from working, including disabilities, family caregiving responsibilities, and lack of access to affordable childcare, (c)

They fundamentally don’t get that all Medicaid does is provide affordable access to healthcare. It doesn’t pay your bills or put food on the table. People on Medicaid long term are often poor or disabled or both. They hate the idea of people having access to healthcare.

#1: Many working-age adults on Medicaid are employed. Others may be in school or have valid reasons for not working, such as caring for family members or having a disability. #2: A large number of adults gained Medicaid coverage through the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. (a)
