Note to Republicans pushing Medicaid work requirements:
An examination by The Current’s @savmargaret.bsky.social & @propublica.org shows Georgia’s experiment requiring people to work for health insurance has kept poor people from coverage.
Only 6,500 of the quarter-million eligible have enrolled.

I am not poor. Even if you don’t have a shred of compassion, you should be concerned. Because when a populace is pushed to the breaking point history never ends well

The better argument to Rs is that work requirements cost more money to administer than they save, and that we end up all paying for unnecessary ER visits for uninsured people rather than paying for Medicaid.
As someone who was uninsured for a long time after my private insurance dropped me when I was diagnosed, that’s a common myth; I had to pay my own ER bills.
