@newsnationnow: Former Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy tells @christophercuomo that Medicaid needs reform to incentivize people back to the workforce. He says former President Bill Clinton’s reform program proved that more people found jobs after getting off welfare.

We need universal healthcare for all American born citizens. Others can buy into it. This nonsense needs to stop.

My autistic son is 30 and unable to work due to the medicines he is on. My fear is that they will consider him able bodied. Republicans lack empathy. People will die.

Interesting points, but what about those who can't find jobs in areas with high unemployment? It's not just about willingness.

But it is a requirement of 40 hours a week. Most people on Medicaid work. But they all are not guaranteed 40 hours.

People should not receive benefits indefinitely unless you’re retired receiving SS and Medicare if you need it. If you’re 42 you should lift yourself up off government dependency

Young person who is able to work should be working. This is not a bad thing.

What do they consider “able bodied”? Also what about those who are “able bodied” but have other disabilities?

I can't understand way Republicans think we need to increase manufacturing jobs and jobs in general when we have the lowest unemployment rates ever. There aren't enough workers available to fill these jobs and they are deporting a lot of people that would take these jobs.

I also feel people are confusing medicaid with Medicare. They are two different programs.

😳 what does he mean by older? Is older at retirement age, 70, 80, 90? My parents are able bodied but they are in their 70’s.

So cut out the misuse , too many are on it for years and years just because they choose not to work! I used Medicaid 40 years ago for 6 months, just till I gave birth and went back to work.

How do you get Medicaid as able bodied person. They clearly are going to declare people able bodied who aren’t

If there aren’t federal workers to process the claims people will be rejected or delayed. Which is a cut in services. Many people with disabilities would love to be working 40 hours a week but due to the nature of their disability. But you guys are also cutting vocational rehabilitation so how is someone supposed to just magically do what they have never been able to do before.

It’s not just a work requirement. They are slashing funding so the program doesn’t work anymore.
