@amandasmildtakes: Congress exempted medically frail people from Medicaid work requirements, and the Trump administration wrote a rule that makes them prove their illness keeps them from working. Democracy Forward is suing on behalf of patients, doctors, and the City of Columbus. @Democracy Forward
This is exactly why we need universal Healthcare. Your financial status should not determine if you get to live.

My mom had terminal cancer and didn’t get a disability diagnosis for 14 months. The people making these decisions are cruel and pampered.

The administration costs of implementing the work requirement will likely cost more money than is saved

Yet congress can be gone for 2,3,4 months without losing their coverage! Some of them can be put in a home and still be counted as working! We all need the coverage that is given to the people we put in office!

I really do feel the whole point of this administration is cruelty. I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired. This timeline is exhausting

I have stage 4 cancer and I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since the age of 12. I’m not currently on Medicaid but all these changes scare me. You can’t afford to be sick in this country.

And how much money are they spending on the administration of this restriction? I’ve heard it’s going to cost more to monitor this paperwork than it would be to just maintain the health care as is. Private companies like Deloitte will be making a lot of money from this.

Forgot to mention, we have to do that every 6 months now too. It's dehumanizing. & SSI/SSDI takes years, more now than ever before.

I don't know, but I'm beginning to believe that they want everybody on Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security to wither away then they don't have to pay benefits.

I just want to say that it's already hard enough and there are enough hoops for people to jump through to even qualify for that medical to begin with without all of the extra that was added with a big ugly bill medically their hope is that people won't have the time effort or energy to do all the extra steps that already add to a bunch of steps that need to be taken now and they'll just die that's what they're hoping for

They can’t just add another requirement on top of what the law says

Do you know how this works when you are laid off? My husband was laid off and we qualify for Medicaid while he is looking for work.
