The Republican-controlled Congress and the White House are mulling work requirements for able-bodied, childless adults between the ages of 18 and 64. People fitting those criteria would be required to work at least 80 hours a month to maintain their benefits, or by participating in community service, going to school or engaging in a work program.
Have they checked to see if Medicaid already has work requirements? For instance (taken from current Washington State):
Combining Work and/or Training to meet requirements
The options for meeting work participation requirements are: Participate in paid employment for 80 hours a month (20 hours a week average); or Participate in an approved training program for 80 hours a month(20 hours a week average); or Participate in unpaid work for 80 hours a month (20 hours a week average); or Participate in a combination of work and back to work activities (1 - 3 above) to make a total of 80 hours a month or an average of 20 hours per week; and/or; Volunteer in Workfare for the calculated required number of hours per month. This activity can’t be combined with options 1-4.

I'm SURE the KK Birla family has the inside track on Tяump's daily habits, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT🤣😂
Dear fellow SWeep. The title of your post intrigued me. Then I ran across a "factual claim" so completely unbelievable that I started laughing and couldn't finish.
PRESIDENT TRUMP works 90 hours a week
I get that Trump may have said just that, and I've seen how lies like that work on his marks.
But seriously, is believing something like this not a sign of Kool Aid drinking?
You live in the UK. You know full well that the majority of benefits are claimed by White, working class men and women who vote Reform, and who refuse to work what they see as "menial" jobs because it is beneath them.
Any source for that or is it something else you made up to get attention?
@DogMan This is what people fail to understand. NOBODY who is legitimately receiving those checks will be affected. There are crooked DemoNazis STEALING from the system, committing fraud. They are the ones who will be stopped. Medicaid funds are being sent OVERSEAS. That's fraud. And that is going to be stopped.
Just think of it as Trump preventing the DemoNazis from stealing funds from legitimate Medicaid users.
@cherokeepatti Seeing as non-documented (i.e. illegal) immigrants are not eligible for federally funded programs like Medicaid, I'd like to know where this "huge chunk of change" will come from. Oh yes, that's right: It's coming from US citizens who are having their Medicaid slashed or removed for essentially arbitrary reasons.

Dr Oz Says DOGE Uncovered $14 Billion in Medicaid Fraud, Waste (Watch Video) DOGE Targets Massive Medicaid Fraud
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under the leadership of Elon Musk, has brought to light a staggering issue within the Medicaid system. Reports indicate that DOGE has identified approximately $14 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse tied to individuals improperly enrolled in multiple states. This revelation underscores a critical need for reform to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure that vital healthcare resources reach those who truly need them.
Dr. Oz, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator, emphasized the severity of the problem on the FoxNews program Sunday Morning Futures. 'There's about $14 billion we've identified with DOGE, of folks who are duly enrolled wrongly in multiple states for Medicaid,' he stated. His words highlight the urgency of addressing systemic flaws that allow such widespread misuse of funds. Impact on Taxpayers and Patients
The financial burden of this $14 billion in improper enrollments falls heavily on American taxpayers, who fund the Medicaid program to support the nation's most vulnerable. Beyond the monetary cost, this fraud diverts essential care away from eligible patients who rely on these services for their health and well-being. DOGE's findings reveal a troubling gap between the program's intent and its execution.
Dr. Oz has pointed out that these inefficiencies harm those who are genuinely in need. The dual enrollment errors not only waste resources but also create barriers for legitimate recipients struggling to access care. This situation calls for immediate action to safeguard the integrity of Medicaid and prioritize the needs of honest citizens.
MOOCHERS wrongly enrolled in multiple states to get Medicaid benefits?
Thank the DemoKKKrats, and whoever operated that AUTOPEN to sign exec orders while Biden ate ice cream for four years.
😂🤣 Really man, you should have some volunteer organization show you how to avoid scams. Your record of solid believe in fake news is worrisome is alarming.
