I just had to take my kid to Urgent Care for the first time since going on Medicaid. With the number of hoops I've had to jump through to apply through the county health board, set us up through the Medicaid system, and fill out forms at the doctor's office, I don't believe fraud is even possible.
People are taxed to death and can’t afford to live in this country. No affordable housing, healthcare or wages. They have set the system up to make you depend on welfare.
But strangely enough, outside the US, American companies have to pay regular wages, provide their part for the universal healthcare system, give the mandatory month paid vacation, unlimited, paid, sick days, 1-2 years maternity break ect. Normal working conditions. Only inside the US they do not.
He's made it easier for billionaires to make more money but mad that they don't want to take a hit to their fortunes. He's an idiot and they're all just greedy assholes. He certainly hasn't done anything to help his employees and wouldn't if he were in WM's shoes. Full stop.
That's how it is with these billionaires. I worked for Walmart in the late 90s & early 2000s & certainly could NOT afford the insurance offerings they had available or I would have been working just to pay for them. Dump being mad at WM for not "eating" the tarrifs he's imposing is another laugh.
Most employees still do. Sort of shots down the repugs saying everyone needs to work to stay off of Medicaid! They are so full of crap- so is Walmart for that matter!
Medicaid cuts costs for all of us. Those who pay pay for those who don't. Every dollar cut from Medicaid is spread out to everybody with an insurance premiums. Using the tax system spreads out and thins that burden. Cutting Medicaid increases it.
By allowing the minimum wage to stay this low for so long meant in reality taxpayers had to make up the difference just so minimum wage workers can stay alive.
At least in Canada our minimum wage is much higher and we have healthcare, but there should be laws against what they do and trump wants to give them an even bigger tax break!!!
Health services shouldn’t be tied to the employer. The employer should pay a living wage to enable its works to buy off ACA (as long as it still exists).
My husband worked for them and they would overwork his scheduled hours due to need only to send him home early later in the week to ensure he did not reach eligibility for medical coverage.
Over 60 percent of Medicaid recipients are working Americans. Another roughly third of the entire pool of beneficiaries are disabled, children, seniors, or caretakers of our most vulnerable.
My daughter worked for a similar low-cost employer in the early 2000s and her employee welcome packet had instructions on how to apply for food assistance and Medicaid!
So are you saying that they’re trying to codify the worst part of the system that underpays people to enable them to take advantage of government systems, instead of making the companies pay a proper wage or offer benefits while allowing the government to provide for those unable to work?
The government should be paying for health insurance rather than companies healthcare from a company forces you to stay with the company. Sweden has more entrepreneurship than any other country. A strong social net supports small entrepreneurs.
Health insurance should be gone and the government should be the “insurance provider”. Insurance companies are a drag on society and have WAY too much decision-making power over our health.
No for-profit entity should be allowed to overrule a decision made by you and your doctor.
We all need to realize that we taxpayers subsidized the accumulation of many of today’s billionaires wealth. Walmart employees had to use our social safety net bc they were too cheap to pay them a living wage. How nice to have someone else pay for your employees’ health care.
And that's around the time I started my personal boycott of Walmart, and for that reason. I found out their business plan included keeping their employees eligible for public support. They built their stores in areas that people would accept low wages and they would get tax breaks for being there.
And those employees that collect benefits like SNAP also spend those benefits at Wal Mart. It guarantees tax breaks and revenue for Wal Mart. They're shit and I don't go there unless they have something I absolutely can't find anywhere else and that's rare.
I don't even look. If I see something I'd like that's a "Walmart exclusive", oh well, not getting. But I do appreciate that i have the luxury of options. Many don't after they killed the local small stores.
I refuse to shop at WalMart and Sam’s. I saw how they treated their employees. Then I saw how they treated the companies they buy product from. Wait out paying them. I’ve seen lots of small businesses thrilled to get in there and have banks turn them down to finance it because lenders know.
i worked for Sears as a key-holder (low level management) and also qualified for Medicaid. when I retired, I lost the qualification of just my social security income, go figure that one
In 2015, the state of Missouri had a minimum wage of 7.65..it's going up to 13.75..is that Walmart's fault or the fault of the politicians of Missouri and the people who support them???
That’s how the Walmart family became some of the richest people in the world; by massively underpaying for labor forcing the taxpayers to subsidize their workers. Anyone who doesn’t support a huge raise in the minimum wage is not serious about restoring Democracy.
If ppl were paid a living wage - those dollars go back into a capitalist system.
What I suspect with this GOP Congress: is they know the capitalist “class” is full up. Obscenely rich enough. No longer any need for the middle and working class anymore - America is a dying empire they know.
I think that’s what they believe. I think they believe that now is the time to prepare their rich people emergency bunkers that they intend to seal themselves in and leave us to die.
According to a Google search Walmart and McDonald's are the largest employers to have their employees on public assistance. I don't know if this number is accurate but, a few articles I read said 60% of their employees are on assistance. But hey his grand daughter got a new yacht last year!
Amazon, Kroger, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Burger King, FedEx, and Uber were also identified as having large numbers of employees on public assistance.
For forty or more years Americans have been underpaid and didn’t agitate enough, (while unions got busted) but then became two earner households to compensate and now that isnt enough.
Walmart isn’t the only company that takes advantage Home Depot,
McDonald’s, School Bus Contractors, etc dirty
Little dirty secret..they tell them we would offer you a raise but then you will lose benefits…..
Corporate welfare. They're able to pay slave wages cuz the govt picks up the tab, covering costs that would otherwise force employees to work elsewhere.
I was a public school teacher in WV in the early 90s. I qualified for food stamps and my children qualified for free/ reduced school lunch. Had I not had insurance through my employer, I would have also qualified for Medicaid. There are many working poor.
I had a BA and was working on my masters. In WV they haven't raised teachers salaries all that much, but it's a bit better. A single person would have trouble buying a home or renting in a nice area. Once I had my masters, it only raised my salary by $600 per year!
I hope you still don’t qualify for it. I don’t understand why the Republicans always try to hurt the poorest of our nation who are the ones who support this country I do hope that your financial situation has gotten better.
Healthcare for all. Canada speaking. Why does your country treat medical support as a privilege for the wealthy? Why? We don’t get it. And neither does much of the rest of the free world. What are you afraid of with free healthcare. So sad
Thereby placing the money that the Walton family should have paid for your health care into their family's pockets. Socialism for the rich, fuck the poor.
I worked for a liquor distributor in the early 00s and I remember seeing signs in the back room of Walmarts that told employees how to apply for Medicaid.
It’s literally the Walmart business model. Steal what should have been used to pay living wages and benefits and have the taxpayers pick up the tab instead. Then make sure you’re not the one paying the taxes. (No one is surprised why MAGA fiscal policy leads to deficits, right?)
I have a friend in Cali who took on 3 kids after their father was killed. That, plus her own child. She brought them to finishing high school, they are active wrestlers and football prospects. She works 7days a week, 2 jobs. She's losing everything... Something has to give..for her family's sake.
Trump & MAGA

Do we dump those

You ain't seen

I’ve long said all full time jobs must as a minimum pay enough for all basic needs on a 40 hr workweek. Overtime should be bonus money not making ends meet.
If the business cannot pay enough to do so, executives cannot earn more than median and no dividends permitted to be paid.
My 6th year of teaching in MO qualified me 4 free lunch for our children-12,500 my first year 82-teacher who worked 4 25 years only made @ 100 a month more Now Texas designates 1 billion for school vouchers. So to compensate, hire people who are NOT certified teachers to fill in. Drive away teachers
Yes, taxpayers subsidize low wage workers bc corporations are more focused on max profits for shareholders than livable wages for employees. Rather than cutting Medicaid, lets set the top tax rate to a pre-Ronald Reagan rate of 33% & raise the fed min wage to 3X what is now which would be $21.75.
Let us remember to tax work and investment gains on equal footing.
We have learned over the last half century that wealth allows way more than fancy living: Concentrated wealth leads to buying politicians, much to our detriment.
One message here is that Walmart doesn't pay a living wage or give their workers benefits. The true message is that healthcare shouldn't depend on the whims of a corporation.
So you're saying we should take away the Walmart Employees Healthcare not sure what you're saying there. Sadly it's way way way more complicated than you're making it.
Not to make you feel bad I'd be willing to bet you think beneficiaries of food stamps are poor who are hungry. No. It's Grocers wealthy Grocers farmers wealthy Mega farmers. People don't know what's really going on. Who benefits from Medicaid? Doctors and hospitals. Patients are just a pass-through
I know it takes a little bit more brain power but hear me. If she made a little more money and didn't qualify for assistance does that help you out? It's all a very large interdependent system. Personally I don't believe in any kind of profits system I'm a communist. But don't lie to yourself
Have you ever taken a loan a car alone have you ever taken a mortgage do you ride on the street where your town subsists off Wall Street profits from their Municipal endowment? Use a hospital? I'm a communist but don't believe in any of that.u are using those you don't understand your role in it
I guarantee you are enjoying the benefits and future benefits of a hyper capitalistic Society and yet you have some idealistic notion that you don't have benefits from that. I myself am off the grid I don't use any of that but I'd be willing to bet you use credit and give credit
Maybe instead of making poor people suffer they should shame billion dollar corporations who pay poverty wages and force people to rely on the government.
Pay employees so little they NEED 2 rely on government assistance 2 survive (funded by middle class taxpayers) forcing companies 2 offshore manufacturing 2 provide products said underpaid workers can afford...
This was a lie from the beginning. They want us to condemn those on assistance for being lazy. In fact, they make it difficult for anyone to move up the ladder, but it's incredibly easy to fall into poverty.
I was on assistance off and on raising my kids. I couldn't stand being on it either. The narrative of undocumented people being on it is horse 💩, too. Anyone who has gone thru the trouble to apply would know that. They want proof of everything. 🤦♀️
Well, liars like Faux News don't want to hear from you or talk to you. They've been busy convincing the gullible public that illegals and lazy people are sucking up hard-working American's tax dollars, so it's all your fault we have a deficit, right?
So true! And I always have the worry in the back of my head that they are going to deny me for some reason and I’ll be screwed. It’s not a fun way to live and not one I would choose (if I had a choice).
I was always worried too. Every 3 months having to turn in all paystubs, explain if and why my income changed... I had a crazy ex and 3 kids... I did what I had to. For 3 years I went through so many jobs, not by choice.
It got better, I hope your situation gets better too!
Very true. It is essentially another full time job trying to keep up. You learn early on that you can't mail back any documents requested. Everything must be turned in by hand with a receipt request because it will get lost. Monthly paperwork to show proof of work or school. Self employed =nightmare
It’s almost another full time job just to stay on top off all of it. I consider myself a very organized person and it still took an inordinate amount of energy. :/
I did Job Readiness Trainings for the First to Work program. Employers of low wage workers built this system-it’s a business model. The cash programs, SNAP & healthcare are paid by taxpayers. The people in this system work their asses off & then document everything they do. The corps makes millions.
True! So much paperwork, proof, documentation required. I know people who legitimately are unable to work and need help just to navigate programs. It’s exhausting and time consuming.
Actually it is extremely difficult to qualify for SSI.. and there are a lot of restrictions on it too.. they really check you out on the initial.. and it is really gonna be hard when they aren’t processing many people right now
Oh, the hoops people have to go through to qualify are daunting. I think it’s funny when those who claim that SO many people are abusing programs/safety nets aren’t realizing or taking into account the stringent requirements to qualify and the length of time the process takes.
People who are lucky enough not to use public assistance programs do not understand how the default at each step is NO and only the most desperate tend to get to the YES at the end.
I hear that! My dad went through hell to get help after a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and was unable to work. Between my grandma and I we managed figuring it out. After he passed I had to pay the government back with what money he did have. So that hassle wasn't worth any of it.
I can't stand Walmart. Not to mention the Walmart heirs who keep overdeveloping the downtown area in my city with high-density overpriced student housing even when our infrastructure obviously can't handle it. I refuse to shop there.
Robert Kiyosaki wrote that the ultimate aim of corporations was to acquire vast amounts of real estate.
Me: Maybe also now, amass so much unfathomable wealth that you plutocrats dictate to Congress that American lives be plowed under, starting with the nonwhites and vulnerables.
If you control the real estate and housing, it's that much easier to exploit the labor force. That's why Republicans destroyed HUD ages ago, just like they're doing to other agencies now. We used to have housing voucher programs. They worked pretty well, so of course Republicans dismantled it.
By doing that - they are thieves and traitors and declared enemies to Americans though.
Agencies are agents OF THE PEOPLE, it’s right there in the name. They belong to us, stood up by congress, to carry out the needs, wishes and general welfare of citizens who delegated
All corporations with staff qualifying for government assistance should be charged back the amount of that assistance. There's huge waste, fraud and abuse! Charge them the amount paid out plus interest and a penalty. If they couldn't get away with that fraud they'd pay a living wage.
They probably had one of those “dead peasant” life insurance policies on you as well. But it never gets portrayed as taxpayers subsidizing all the businesses whose pay/benefits are so low.
I was the personnel mgr at Walmart and I can promise you that out of 484 employees there were more on food stamps than not. Including me.... I got $23.00 a month!!! I got cancer and now receive $0.00 because apparently $1568.00 in MY social security is TOO much income... True story
I totally believe it. The idea that $16,000 is above the poverty line shows how bad things are. The poverty line has kept up with reality, like minimum wage.
To top it all off, I have a $1750.00 out of pocket. Have had out of pocket for 4 yrs now because when SS went up substantially Deathsantis didn't increase the income limit for Florida Medicaid. Now he is in trouble for $10 million to his wife Walmart Casey!
Hmmmmmmmm
Walmart hands out food stamps applications in their hiring orientation packet. That should tell you that the American people are subsidizing Walmart workers. They need to raise their wages so we aren’t supplementing the billionaires bottom line.
At my orientation they didn't hand out assistance applications, but the HR person told the whole room full of us that if we needed help with our applications, bring them in and she'd help fill them out.
My Mother was raising three kids and was on food stamps in the 70s. My sister gets pissed when I reminded her of that because she is now MAGA. Sister also had 4 kids and used a lot government assistance as she didn’t work and had no husband to help support the kids. She doesn’t like to be reminded.
I’ve known this for years. This is what the democrats need to use as effective messaging. This point is something everyone understands. A large nationwide retailer purposely shafting their employees so you and I make up the difference. The employees and all of us lose and the company profits off it.
I’ll be 70 in June. My husband and I have paid off mortgage. Savings. 401k and Medicare and Supplemental insurance. BUT one serious illness can easily wipe us out. Then we would have to rely on Medicaid. I hate republicans.
Same.
We currently support an adult son with mental illness on our meager Social Security income. He will not apply for permanent disability although he does receive healthcare through Medicaid. We're already on the brink of disaster. What is coming scares the hell out of me.
The US "system" is nuts. You folks pay a ton in taxes and get so little back. Laws demanding the ten commandments posted in schools and tax breaks on pistol silencers?
Where's the public good?
I heard at one point in Ohio they had a staff person from Job and Family Services (e.g., welfare) housed there because so many people qualified for Medicaid and SNAP/food stamps. Another back door method Rs knowingly use tax payer dollars. They don’t mind taxes as long as it goes in their pockets .
Yes, because so many of your relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues kept voting Republican and hating unions. They kept your income down. It wasn't an act of god.
And Walmart actually planned for this. They would work out just enough hours to qualify someone for public medicine but not enough to qualify for company medical. Did the same with the ACA.
***Post this also on FB, Jess, where a more varied audience will see it.
Repub. are constantly distorting who the population is that relies on Medicaid. Not lazy able bodied 20 year olds as Speaker Johnson is trying to con.
Able-bodied people in their twenties are the people who, faced with the paperwork, default to "I'm young and healthy and nothing bad will happen to me" and all we can do is hope they're right.
I guess, GOP succeeded in calling white black and vise versa. The undereducated masses just swallowed like it's gods manna. So, following the logic Walmart paid government to provide you with Medicaid. And you were a sucker leaching of the government. Even you worked full time. Upsidedown reality.
These people are a disgrace. I remember when Stan Kroenke used Walmart money to buy the Rams and move them out of St. Louis because he got a better deal in LA.
Imagine having money like that, and a single mom with kids works at one of your discount dumps and can't pay her rent.
I was on Medicaid for a year in my 50’s after gaining my Masters degree because I had virtually no income. I didn’t ask for it, but appreciated the help as I started out anew.
As a “Political Protest” I have never entered, much less shopped at a Walmart. I doubt it makes a bit of difference, or even the Right kind of difference, but I have found that numbers of others have made the same decision.
I do hope it doesn’t hurt Workers.
no one who works full time should be without health care food and shelter period as well as have a decent social security AND a pension NOT A STINKING 401K that the big banks, congres, gop or corrupt president can manipulate to steal peoples retirement funds.PERIOD
It seems that tf the government is really concerned about Medicaid payments, they could think of better solutions all around. Like maybe they should raise the minimum wage so that tax dollars would not go to subsidizing companies such as Walmart who pay low wages.
I can’t look at a Walton without knowing that the basis for their great wealth has been made on the backs of hard working devoted employees to this huge chain, knowing that it’s more important to them to profit as much as they can without paying living wage to their FT employees.
For a brief period of time in 2009, I worked at J.C. Penny and management would tell employees to get on SNAP and Medicaid instead of paying a decent wage.
That was when I realized corporate America was the problem, not the recipient of the aid.
So we subsidize corporate employees to buy food from some of the very corporations that won't pay them enough to afford their food. Think of that circle.
I could be wrong and I'll check but I believe for years Walmart had the distinction of being the largest employer in the U.S. with the most staff on public assistance. Taxpayers are actually providing benefits (feeding/healthcare) that Walmart won't. They're not alone among corporations.
Hillary Clinton lawyered there in the 80s. She was a board member from 1986 to 1992. -and she remained silent on Walmart's labor practices-wiki.
Corporate Democrats don’t represent people they represent money .
Simple message for Dems in 26&28:
We will wind back the tax breaks for the rich and wealthy given by Trump & Republicans in 2017 and 2025. The money this brings in to the government we will use as follows

Choose the three most prioritized things to focus on for the next ten years.
A friend/fellow Special Olympics coach of mine (he and his wife receive DD services) works 3 jobs: garden center 4-10am daily, mows 12 people's lawns, and works for the university athletics doing security/ticketing. His wife works full time too. None of those jobs offer health insurance.
In the 1980s I would have gladly taken Medicaid if I had qualified. I worked 2-3 jobs just to get by raising 2 kids. None of those jobs would hire me full-time, so as to NOT pay me any benefits. I had no childcare assistance, no college degree, and we lived below the poverty line.
I remember in the early 90’s accepting a full time job for $12,000/yr. I had 2 children and couldn’t afford traditional daycare so had to rely on an overcrowded babysitter.
Zero benefits. My spouse had a manual job earning little over minimum wage. We counted every penny and failed at keeping our heads above water. I was on a payment plan at the pediatrician and never saw a Dr for myself.
I can relate. I never saw a doctor or dentist either. Everything I made went to support my kids. It was hell until the kids got in School and I could work full time at a job with health benefits. We are going backward as a nation.
I once took a job at McDonald' when I was between jobs and desperate. They paid a whopping $10/hr and if I wanted medical insurance, I had to cough up $250/month for it. No way could I afford that. The entire system is rigged to benefit the wealthy and screw everyone else.
In our state we used to routinely put out something called the "Walmart Report" that showed how many of their employees were on Medicaid, SNAP, or other assistance.
Don't forget McDonald's.
"Walmart and McDonald's have a large number of employees who are also recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food stamps and Medicaid."
Your tax dollars are supporting billionaire welfare queens.
I worked for AZ Medicaid in a leadership position. MOST Walmart workers qualified for Medicaid. This means you were earning 135% below the federal poverty level. U qualified for SNAP food assistance. The working poor will be punished for working. These are trump voters. Do you feel richer now?
Lots of Americans are in that same boat. I know a disabled woman. She’s 83 and has never worked because of her disability.
She’s on Medicaid and SNAP. What happens to her when the “Big Beautiful Bill” goes into effect?
They want you to work 90 hrs a week. But then preach family values BS. When would you see your family? In between jobs? Congress needs to go back to getting paid in per diem.
The deck’s always been stacked against the worker. It’s just that now the kleptocrats are emboldened to rub our faces in it. But I suspect that people will put up with it for only so long.
The company gets local tax breaks to build stores in particular communities, and then underpays its workers so they need Medicaid and govt subsidies to survive. Not a good corporate neighbor.

His Welcome Packet included instructions on how to apply for Medicaid and food assistance.
Don’t know when the switch occurred, but when i was private practice, only the managers had private insurance. Everyone else was medicaid.
Up until prob 2010ish
No for-profit entity should be allowed to overrule a decision made by you and your doctor.
