Will be at least 5 times slower, the cost of food will be much higher, crops will be unharvested and dying on the vine. The cost of Medicaid will rise due to all of the amputated fingers and skin cancer and back injuries. Farm workers are skilled. I don’t think they can be replaced.

Reminder that most recipients on Medicaid are children and the severely disabled. The elderly with severe medical and cognitive decline in nursing homes. The next largest group is pregnant women & babies. Those will surely make successful ag workers.

I really want to see a study about just how many able bodied people who aren't already working are on Medicaid. Take out those at retirement age and children. Bet it's very few. If someone who is able bodied gets Medicaid most likely they work- but for a company that doesn't offer benefits.

2023: there were 26 million adults on Medicaid who weren’t getting SSI or SS Disability. Of those, most aren't working cause they’re in school, have disability or are caregivers. Only 8% are either retired or unable to find work. So its new moms and folks 56-61 they want www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

Medicaid helps disabled get the transportation and aid support to work. This is costly in actual dollars! It’s a requirement to have the support to work. The oldest bias at play again is the poor are poor because they are lazy. The lie is glaring as the poor 2-3 job to barely survive in poverty!
