WEST MEMPHIS, Ark.—With the help of Medicaid, Stanley Ellis got two hip-replacement surgeries and other care to treat a condition that causes bone tissue to die.
But earlier this year, after an emergency ambulance trip to a hospital here for splitting pain in his shoulder and head, a nurse delivered upsetting news: He had lost his coverage due to a new state work-requirement rule.
Typical government enforcement.
Athaxto It was never about how many people found jobs. It was about kicking people off of a program that provided them health insurance. Every time someone got kicked off a republican had an orgasm. About the only way some of them could.
Incompetence personified.
Requiring medicaid recipients to work is white supremacy in action. Blacks can't stop this
I don't really pity the guy with lung disease losing his Medicaid, if he's going to continue smoking. Free healthcare means people take less responsibility for their own well-being.
🙃
Thousands lost coverage, mission accomplished
idiots
How many of Arkansas' Medicaid recipients were *already* working? Anyone keep track of that, either?
what a shit show. in the end we dont know if it worked or not
LOL. Typical gop approach to work.
Many probably were working in the first place. Hard to turn down free stuff.
'Gained employment': that is Orwellian language, you Repub goons.

Was never about jobs
Now tell me how the government deserves more tax revenue and should be trusted.
I can’t believe they stripped coverage from court-declared disabled people, and are making them jump through a bunch of hoops to resume coverage. As if life isn’t hard enough...
You'd think they could work out a deal with the tax agency. people having taxes taken out by their employer could have their info forwarded to the state medicade office... or is that too simple for those simpletons.
So the government doesn’t really care about reducing welfare dependents, but just hating on poor people. Sounds about Conservative Right.
Sounds about right.
The goal is to reduce dependence on the govt. not to create another bureaucratic system or process.
Events like this are exactly why I don't trust the government to be in charge of running a majority of things
Welcome to Arkansas. At least we're not Alabama
