Trump, Speaker Johnson and other MAGAns have consistently said that the proposed Medicaid work requirements are justified because so many "able-bodied slackers" who could work are just sitting at home collecting Medicaid. Really? How do these people support themselves? All they can do with Medicaid is to get their health care costs paid for. They can't use it to pay rent, buy food or gasoline, or pay for any other daily necessities that are required just to be alive. The argument is idiotic, even to the uninformed and unintelligent, yet its proponents are never challenged on that point.

Basically a single adult is living on less than $25,000 a year without access to any employer provided insurance, but no, nobody is signing up for that or getting away with anything if they're in that category

But he's a good Christian. And, he probably thinks Jesus was a fool for healing the lazy, good for nothing cripple at the pool of Bathesda. Or maybe he thinks the sick should just pray for good health and wait to be healed.
