That's SSDI not Medicaid

The south is gonna go insane if they force a bunch of abled body men and women off disability

Medicaid is based on income. It varies by state how high of an income someone can have. It doesn’t require disability.

Fraud has almost always been on the provider side.

And working 3 jobs to not make ends meet

Yes they have health care and the millions of fed workers they fired, now have no healthcare Imagine how many of these people were being treated for cancer, medical conditions or pregnant-because we don’t have universal healthcare, they will quickly loose everything else to pay healthcare costs

The one eyed man is king everyone!

All 10 of them

And republicans are all liars.

Clearly his brain was damaged when he lost his eye. Thanks for your prior service, Crenshaw, but what you're doing now is horrendous

Dan Crenshaw is a LIAR like the rest of the robber barons. The robber baron billionaires don’t work. They just steal our money.

How many people does that entail?

Projection - they’re probably the laziest people on earth if they assume everyone else is too

More fact free statements from the lying GOP. Where is the data to show that this happens?

Medicare which retirees pay for out of their Ss checks require a supplemental ins. So, $200. A month out of $1300. Plus pay for more? Where do you live, in your car?

Trump's ran out of runway on his combover and will require a toupee in short order or go bald.

Oh bull💩

He is such a liar. There are work requirements already in place for those who can. Most are elderly, children and disabled

conservatives have a social dysmorphia that causes them to identify as not themselves

4 Life

It’s the lobby money and insider trading that makes their job so profitable. Not working for the American people.

Irony to the nth degree.

And does absolutely nothing to help Americans.

Work what jobs? They count unemployment, but what about those not in the workforce? I have students who put in applications for years and never get jobs.

He must be talking about the southern, red states where people are on disability and work off the books

It ends up costing more in the long run for all of us than if we had just taken care of them in the first place like every other civilized country.

He's lying, of course, but nobody seems to care when Republicans lie.

The need constant push back from the MEDIA to prove these imaginary claims. Because they cannot.

They just be making shyt up

They seem to like accusing people with no evidence of guilt, and innocent people who are affected are inconsequential collateral damage... Like 13 million children and disabled Americans...

It’s good that Crenshaw and the rest of the GOP members of Congress don’t receive full healthcare coverage, on the taxpayer’s dime, because he’d obviously be morally and personally opposed to it

Dan knows this is bullshit.

What an absolute POS and JackHole! I’d like for him to work one day at a Medicaid office. A full eight hours. All of them. They need to all receive invitations.

Oh he doesn’t know what Medicaid is or does…why do people keep electing losers and unqualified dopes like Crenshaw?

Removing access to space travel from people who don’t travel to space does not reduce the cost of space travel. Similarly: Removing access to medical care from people who don’t use medical care does not reduce the cost of medical care.

53% of people enrolled in medicaid in Oklahoma are people under the age of 21. A total of 25% of the states population depends on medicaid.

This isn’t welfare, dumbass. People on Medicaid work. They’re just not making enough money to afford healthcare. It goes to poorer folks, whether they’re single or family men. I swear, what’s being revealed daily is how ignorant a lot of reps are about how ANYTHING really works.

and that’s $800 billion? And still they want a $5 trillion raise on the debt ceiling. The able brained need to see that this is a huge scam to pay billionaires.

Says the guy with a 50% legislative calendar..

Sounds like he’s describing a lot of MAGA’s.

No. The extra filings, deadlines, hoops, rejections and requests for additional information are designed to frustrate those that ARE eligible into giving up or making a mistake on the extremely burdensome paperwork.

This is what happens when people are elected who are too lazy to read or understand anything.

Republican politicians know very well how these programs work. They are just banking on their voters buying their "it's rife with fraud" BS as an excuse to cut them.

What is the expansion population? They’re taking it away from everyone they can.

No. You are taking Medicaid away from children, the severely disabled, and the elderly in nursing homes. All so that you can make billionaires into trillionaires.

I worked for years with substance users, Medicaid saved many lives

The mythical unemployed, lazy, adult moocher 🙄

After Google; "a KFF analysis found that 92% of non-disabled Medicaid enrollees under 65 were employed in 2023"

Because that would help people and helping people when you're not getting rich off them is socialism.

Because we are no longer a developed country.

lol, don’t be silly 😉

Because a third of thr country believes what he's saying.

(I understand that universal health care would actually save me money, that any tax increase would be offset by not having to pay insurance premiums. But even if it wasn't, I'd pay so much tax to get to stop thinking about how fucked up the system is and watching people get hurt by it. Worth it.)

And like Alex pointed out, we are slaves to our shitty jobs because our healthcare is tied to it.

Because it would make sense and it’s less expensive in the long run.

Too many lobbyists making a living off preventing that from happening.

Apparently our wealthy country can’t afford it…

Too many politicians on both sides serve insurance lobbyists before they serve the people.

FALSE.

He knows this BS. He is a lying republican who will say anything Dump tells him to say.

We really need Medicaid recipients (many of whom are military families and old people) to show up at Crenshaw offices. They need signs that say, “you took my Medicaid” We have to get better at messaging and comms

A real journalist would turn around and ask Rep Crenshaw to define “able bodied” That would be just question number 1 of many, from just that 1 sentence. Not to mention, if he has facts regarding who receives Medicaid benefits.

He never knows what he’s talking about.

Where has this piece of trash been hiding? Struggling to get noticed amidst all the trump corruption, lawlessness, and incompetence.

I was just about to say, if they want to find fraud in these agencies they just need to look into their own party.

Dan should keep that eyeball on Rick Scott and his ilk, they’re costing us a bloody fortune

imagine my surprise when i moved from the DC 'burbs to eastern oregon and discovered that the Welfare Queen isn't really a young black woman named "Shaniqua" with salon nails, hair extensions & 3 baby daddies, but a middle aged white woman named "Tammy", the 3rd of a 5-generation welfare family. 🙄

Exactly

I am an old man now, I am sorry for you younger middle class folks.... you have no idea of the hell that is about to happen to you.

💯

Just like the biggest users of drugs are the wealthy (bc u have to have money to afford drugs). The biggest thieves vis wage theft by far are also the wealthy, not the poor (poverty actually doesn't cause immorality, entitlement does). The ppl who rape (Diddy, Epstein) & kill the most - the wealthy

100%!

Define able-bodied. Define adult. Define refuses. Define work. Hell, define children while you're at it. All of these words are open to interpretation, and I'm sure they are going to take the harshest one they can find.

Another Privilege check/ Freudian slip. Walmart doesn;t pay a living wage, not does any fast food joint. Most need food stamps so they can have enough food to work for slave labor wages.

Someone needs to check the vision in his good eye. He apparently is unable to read the bill he is sponsoring! Either that or he is just an evil SOB!

Okay, that’s five people to toss. Now what?

That’s … not …what Medicaid is…at all.

So everyone who doesn’t have a six-figure job has a choice: work and have unaffordable/unusable healthcare or not work so they can get medical care. Kicking people off Medicaid doesn’t solve the fucking problem, but it does, once again, show how cruel and awful Republicans are.

What about people inbetween jobs? He is a fool.

How many seniors aged 80+ in nursing homes are able-bodied exactly?

Youthinks correctly.

Crenshaw does, but he is relying on the cultists to not.

Liar

They are literally taking away Medicaid FROM children, what a liar.

f... this pirate wannabe.

That is literally nobody.

It is exactly what the GOP is saying

Here’s an idea. We can save a lot of money on healthcare costs if imbeciles like #Crenshaw lose their their lifetime guaranteed #Healthinsurance.

So Republican members of Congress?

How do you know? How many meds will loose out before you find the cheats?

Blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.

Please show us that able-bodied adult please... I'm sure you have their names, right?

You can take that in the same vein as "we're only deporting criminals"

There’s so much red tape just to get Medicaid. They act like anyone can just sign up for it🤦🏽‍♀️

I know four people on Medicaid. NONE of them are able bodied who refuse to work. I call Bullshit. No one can “Live” on medicaid. They are lying to justify the cuts.

And the analysis of that category would save exactly how much? Please explain... I'll wait.

I’m an ex welfare worker. They did away with single, able bodied people getting Medicaid in Pennsylvania 15-20 years ago

Faux Spews gets airtime once again. And this time it's (check notes) Lyin Dan Crenshaw. Another failed human below my dignity level to even listen to. Why does Faux get so much airtime? THAT is how extremism gets normalized.

This is untrue and wickedly cruel to hard-working Americans down on their luck.

That person they speak of has reached mythical proportions…

Give us some evidence, Danny boy... like names and addresses of these people?? Oh, so what you mean is..."People are saying" Typical MAGA BS to keep the donors happy!!!

Just like the only “illegals” that were going to get deported were the “criminals”?

So it is worth taking away insurance from one third of this country’s children because you think some mythical man is ripping off Medicaid?

So, an imaginary class that only exists in the minds of people who are soaking in right wing propaganda. Got it.

but meanwhile a lot of people on Medicaid do work.
