92% of Medicaid adult enrollees are working, or are not working due to caregiving, an illness or disability, or school attendance. Work requirements are a solution in search of a problem. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

BTW, I'd strongly advise every U.S. citizen to visit www.ssa.gov ASAP to download their Social Security statement & benefit verification letter as well as to order a replacement Social Security Card. Dunno how long it'll take Musk & his Hitler Youth Incel Techbros to fuck that up as well, but...
