That's fine, that's not an impediment to getting Medicaid. The impediment is the paperwork involved in showing why you don't have a job. And that's the same impediment whether you are simply unemployed or disabled and unable to work (and most likely unable to do the paperwork).

They are about getting more taxes. Hobble yourself to work, they take most of it in taxes so you can get help for food!

MAGAGOP's plan to: "increasing the paperwork" IS the very definition of waste, Fraud, & Abuse And it is pure cowardice and Lying in the same foul propagandized breath MAGApoliticians fear electoral backlash for stealing food from children so Lying & fraud is GOP's modus operandi - as always

Perfect response!

Me too, id vote for him in a heartbeat

Exactly. Targeting less fortunate people who can’t work for various reasons. Also, the fraud it mostly through institutional cheating

Trust me, they will bother because they need it. Then they'll get angry when they're denied anyway. Then they'll vote Republican because that's what they always do.

I ALWAYS listen to what Gov. Beshear says because he is in tune with the people . I don't live in Kentucky, but Gov Beshear is almost the only person in government that I trust.

In 27’ when you have to apply 2 times a year who’s reading and approving them? The Doge douche bags and the Mexican Jumping Bean have fired thousands

Safest bet there is: If not enough people fail to fill out the paperwork 'properly'---if they fill it out perfectly---the Trump regime will simply DECLARE that they've failed to fill it out properly. And boot them off their health or nutrition care.

I remember years ago when my youngest was still in the house. I lost my job and had to apply for assistance. Work requirements followed and the only thing they did was not give me enough time to find a permanent job. 4 hours a day sweeping out small office of social services.

So a dem saying government is too big over-regulatory?

There is already a shortage of doctors; who is going to want to go into that kind of debt for a profession that is being eliminated by the government?

PAY ATTENTION With all the road blocks that have been put up in this bill that is just one layer. The 2nd layer is the fact that this admin has fired everyone throughout various different depts of our govt. that process these & put in motion these things.

Just look at what happened in Arkansa with their work requirements: their website is available for limited times a day and is intentionally complex to understand and use. Results - people are dying.

I will volunteer to help people with their paperwork

Compound and confuse = chaos, which leads to easier control, which leads to fascism and authoritarian rule!

In any case A. Due to all the layoffs and firings, where are these jobs exactly? And B. What a strange idea that sick people should be forced to work because that’s what it will come down to. No more sick time even for sick—such a people highly advanced society. What the fuck

When increased paperwork is billed as more fiscally responsible, the point is tripping people up so they get kicked off Medicaid. No other way to view it

Republican Party is greedy and inhumane. 🤑

Not to mention the rifs. It may take a year to get approval!

That sounds really frustrating. It seems like these requirements create more obstacles than solutions for people trying to get back to work.

It's all about hate and cruelty. In others words, the Trump MAGA cult. Remember, decades ago, how much he hated and persecuted the so-called "Central Park Five"...who were later exhonerated after being put through hell?

From your mouth to God's ears.

Great response.

GQP maga elected officials are beyond corrupt vile people

That’s exactly what it’s meant to do. Kick as many people off as possible with more red tape that can increase those chances. This has nothing to do with trying to catch a few freeloaders.

👆👆👆👆👆

God bless Uncle Andy.

To make it more complicated to get benefits.

I don't know about income support programs, but I absolutely insist on rich and poor (and everyone between) carrying the same health card.

Do you honestly think that a $15k loan to someone worth $1 billion means anything to them at all? Yes, pass a wealth tax. Tax their wealth. Tax them more than $15k. And apply the same logic to other things. Universal healthcare. Universal child allowance. Tax the rich to subtract.

The American Rescue Plan checks were means tested. You think they were cruel?

We do have the money for it and we do also have to tax the rich. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. That we have so many now is evidence of a sick society.

Then don’t be a fuck tard and ready the fucking paper. Guess what, same problem on a job application. Fill it out like a big boy and handle your shit. If you are too stupid to Properly fill out an application for my tax money you don’t deserve it gravy train is over

They should but they won't for fear of reprisal from this Jackass administration. Even as people are suffering, who are relatives, friends and loved ones of the heads of these news agencies, they refuse to hold Trump accountable.

In states that put in work requirements, they had to roll them back. Take a look for yourself at what happened in Atkansas. The ripple effect was staggering! This should be a gift link: We Saw Medicaid Work Requirements Up Close. You Don’t Want This Chaos. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

It's a paperwork scam. Make it difficult to fill out any and all forms then get rid of the people to assist. Another "it's not us that are hurting you...you did it to yourself!"

I’m so sick of maga bull shit

True.

That’s by design. The ruling class knows that AI and automation are about to make millions of people unemployed, and they don’t want the government to be on the hook to provide their food and healthcare. Watch for cuts to unemployment benefits to be next.

Bingo!

3) makes sense is THE RACISM. It's definitely NOT his resume. When NOTHING ELSE makes sense but RACISM, IT'S . RACISM.

But Andy, they’ll get over it. Mitch said so

They are only stopping the Govt free fish to people who are able to fish for themselves!

Where’s the EFFICIENCY in this? #FDT #FDOGE

why are the republicans hell bent on ruining everyone's lives who pay their salaries&health insurance?why can't they focus on improving our country&the world- a safer,healthier,more satisfying quality of life&respect all human beings-we are all children of God-Jesus is in the face of us all-LOVE

and the people who process all of that have also been fired so there won't be many people to process the paperwork which will dely benefits.

Das ist wild, wie schnell die Dinge sich ändern können! 😱

If they really care about getting people back to work, they need to get rid of the tariffs so companies can make hiring decisions.

Approach is based off the false premise that employees are in charge of how much or even whether they're working. As most can see, this puts even more power in the hands of employers, whose primary goal is maximum profits.

That’s my governor!!

Or the onerous red tape forces them to give up. Years ago my health plan covered me & my son but didn't cover treatment he needed at the time so they applied for Medicaid for him while he was hospitalized. The process & in person benefits reviews were brutal & I had to fight to keep him covered.

100% their mantra.

Plenty of blacks, Latinos, and women voted for trump. Did you forget?

I think they will eventually round up the homeless. Give them time.

I think RFK wants us to work on farm camps.

And we will be blamed for that.

Exactly. Said the same.

Stay hopeful!

I resent that they hijacked this excellent flag. We need to reclaim our flags from them.

Yeah, that sums it up perfectly

All the while praising a Jesus not found in the Bible.

They love getting people kicked off a program, and good luck getting it back 🤬☠️

Future POTUS

The paperwork to qualify for free lunch is monstrous. On purpose. Project 2025 is 900+ pages. On purpose.

If a person receives Medicaid and Snap, plus already have a job, do they have to get a second job

You said it there. Like fetterman and several others, she should just pop a red hat of hate on too.

They want these people working on the farms and construction.

He's my early choice as the nominee.

And all for what???? That's right...so the very rich can become the super rich! Yeehaw!

He's telling the truth

The shit treating grim on that asshat…

They hate bureaucracy and red tape and regulation, except when it's in their favor. They don't consider bureaucracy a tool to accomplish things, they consider it a weapon to be wielded against their perceived enemies.

It’s “sludge” meant to create obstacles to those needing services.

2/ he walks the talk. Beshear is the poster child for “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. I hope he runs for higher office. He’s not perfect, but man, he’s awful close. #teamkentucky

ghouls, all of them...

Yes, like immigrants being punished for existing as farm workers.

Not to mention staff cuts, so lots of backlogs and higher risk for errors.

It’s another example of death by a thousand cuts….

Respect to Andy Beshear.

So hire those cut to sift through the new mountain of paperwork ! Problem solved !

Oh no, Not another common sense, responsible reply to a malicious govt Treasury heist for the rich (and the military) that openly targets the working poor?? Where is the childish playground sound bites, where is the vexatious moral gameplay of the Republicans? I ask you.

Medicare for all! Yes!

Slavery ok. Trump wants the farmers to keep them on the farm land is called Slavery 🙄

Let’s start talking about CORPORATE WELFARE……..the taxpayers are paying for WALMART, AMAZON AND MC DONALDS EMPLOYEE HEALTHCARE…….IT IS MEDICAID……THESE FOLKS HAVE BEEN THROWN OFF MEDICAID……TIME FOR LAWS REQUIRING CORPORATIONS TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE HEALTHCARE……NO MORE CORPORATE WELFARE

Someone will come up with some expensive grift to work this.

youtu.be/vjFL-cBcjKc?...

Then you write the check. I’m broke

It’s about prolonging suffering

📌

It’s so interesting to me how she just automatically adopts the MAGA framing in her questions. He handled this interview beautifully.

Hey Mitch, that's your state right

Yup.

I don't think the point is to hire or help more people but rather to wall the garden as it were
