This is utter nonsense
Medicaid is a needs based program
If any American doesn’t have sufficient resources, they qualify-even if they’re working
So if Mike Johnson wants to remove employed, “able bodied young men” from Medicaid, there’s a simple fix
Raise the minimum wage
But of course-he won’t

Mike Johnson: "Medicaid is intended, remember, as a safety net for young pregnant mothers and the elderly and disabled and vulnerable populations, not for young able-bodied men without dependents. Those are the kinds of people we're taking off the program."

When uninsured persons have to visit an ER because they can’t get care any other way, the cost is ultimately passed on to the insured (hospitals do not “eat” the cost).
For Regular Medicaid (Non-Institutionalized):
Single: $943 per month.
Married Couple applying jointly: $1,415 per month.
Married Couple with only one spouse applying: $1,415 per month for the applicant.
There aren't illegal aliens on the program.
But plenty of my patients who are working on recovering from cancer and leukemia are.
He's trying to cut it.
Got it, pro-life guy.
"Data show the majority of Medicaid enrollees are working."

not all states have made Medicaid available at all for sub-elder men regardless of income, and those that have may not have done so for long.
I don't think states that declined Medicaid expansion make it available for all adults below income threshold. Only women/ kids etc.
How many people on medicaid are pregnant women or elderly? How many of them are able bodied males with no dependents?
Now, it's useless, because no numbers this admin releases are trustworthy. But actual data shows they're full of shit
A N D
raise the level of care for basic insurance.
if a low wage worker gets sick and his insurance company say "oh, we don't cover that." He's up shits creek and will turn to medicaid. it is a program subsidizing employers and their cheap ass insurance companies.
Cutting medicaid hurts providers, creates unemployment, causes disarray misery. You evidently favor that.
In essence, the GOP are punishing
the victims of subsistent wages.
Some people on Medicaid have serious medical diagnoses that are not physical, but are a brain dysfunction malady.
Fuck everyone in this administration! Every damn one of them. I hope they burn in hell
Sometimes it’s like working TWO jobs because they haven’t been trained properly, or are incapable of understanding the assignment. Sometimes it’s just dangerous and safety is sacrificed.
In some situations disabled people do an excellent job.
How can you save money if you subtract the healthy people from Medicaid?
Because she's a Nanny for a wealthy couple who doesn't provide her health-care and she doesn't make enough money to pay for ACA coverage.
And yeah, she needs a new gig.
What problem that republicans complain about have they ever fixed?
(To borrow the phrase from Wall Street)
Go ahead ..
NH $19,600
Do you make less than that?
I do. Thats how I know.
Like it's covered in daisies.
They qualify for Medicaid.
AND WORK THEIR ASSES OFF.
Those affected the worst, although generally considered 'able bodied men' by the general public, needed medicaid to save their lives.
There are hidden populations he knows nothing about
The fix is Medicaid for all financed by a proportional added tax.
That’s what we have in Europe.
And of course a state control of price medication.
Anything else is just a tape on a broken leg.
