This is systemic murder.

This means your immunocompromised & severely intellectually disabled kids who have to take expensive medicine and have additional therapy appointments and such and qualified for Medicaid on their own now have to work 80 hours a month or prove they are too sick to do so, many can't read well enough.

Evil country is becoming more evil.

“Work until you drop dead, and then rot in hell.” - GOP motto for Americans

Remember those Death Panels the Republicans got folks riled up about when Obama was pushing the Affordable Care Act? The Death Panels had always existed - in the insurance companies. This is Trump doing their bidding - force them out of retirement to work themselves to death and improve profits.

This snake oil salesman is supposed to be a doctor. Fk him and the felon's hunchback he rode in on. I hope they all burn in the hottest part of he11 for all eternity.

This will hit MAGA hard.

The cruelty is the point.

"Excuse me, doctor, but has the administration considered just killing them outright?"

I have 3 rare autoimmune diseases that require over a dozen immunosuppressing medications per day to manage, or I go into organ failure and lose my eyes. Already got my end of life plan ready for when they take away my treatments. It didn't have to be this way.

Depraved heart murder.

they went four years without releasing the epstein files; you can say they have no power because of not enough votes in congress (this is not really true) but releasing those files is indisputably a power they had that would've stopped trump

What you think is irrelevant to the truth

they'll run on only having to work 70 hours for medicaid

I'd be OK with single payer as long as the single payer is Mexico.

I don’t see any reason to subsidize insurance companies. Single payer means we all have healthcare and that’s that.

make trump work 80 hours / month first

😢😢😢

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Trump says, “gimme $10 billion (taxpayer $$), for my Board of Peace with zero accountability

But they can’t discriminate!!!! It says so in the law, they have to make reasonable accommoda- Oh wait never mind, this work from home data entry position has a minimum requirement for lifted 50+lbs unassisted daily. Surely that’s actually necessary and not a blatant loophole in the system.

According to NPR, this doesn't apply to the elderly.

I cannot wait to see who these employers are hiring people that qualify for medicaid - let’s see how many get jobs.

They're openly trying to cull the herd.

How does someone "prove" that they are too sick, when tRump a-holes have fired the very people who were experienced enough to decide? Oh yeah ... AI! Good luck with that

Cruel. Most already have jobs. The deliberate, part-time trap of working in the retail industry. By design retail avoids full-time employees to avoid benefits mandates.

If you are dead you can’t vote! Probably what gave them the idea.

Like Bessent explains it- Maybe they can also do their “food at home” or as some people like to call them “groceries” items for them too.

The state government makes the call.

Hey eat shit

Great point!

tRUMP administration continues persecution of the sick, disabled and poor to enrich the oligarchs.

Dear NPR, Our present administration is overrun by sick folks that need to be put in cells. The problem, " there are no folks in America with backbones and courage. Bend over... 🤣🤪🤣🤪

Donny never had to prove he had bone spurs…

General strike? Mass civil disobedience 24/7? Or, hope for a midterm miracle? We all know the answers. You folks are way too scared.

Cooooooool or not really. I work with people who have Medicaid. They can't work. even doing 80 hours a month is a bullshit move for the republicans to kill off more people in our country. There should be pitchforks and torches at republican townhalls.

Ah I’m remembering all the times I counseled people to be judicious about throwing “evil” around to explain behaviors/policies. Feel free.

I seriously doubt that Trump works 80 hours per month.

This administration is cruel! Cruelty is so sickening it’s disgusting!

Yet the oligarchs can afford the highest quality care because they are rich being subsidized by our taxes. Parasites.

Yeah, because there are just so many jobs available in this economy. 🙄

Don’t worry! I’m sure @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov will write a letter

lol hey ask me for money

I concur!

So tell me how my 91 year old mother, who is on Medicaid and is so frail she can’t support her own weight is supposed to work 80 hours a month?

I pay a lot of taxes. THIS is where I want my taxes spent. I don't care if a few extra people get help! I want to be sure those who need it, can get it without having to jump through hoops

Congratulations to anyone on Medicaid who voted for this corrupt, demdnted, child raping peice of shit.

Trump Medicaid: Only healthy people should benefit from health insurance. 🤡💩

Granny and Gramps toiling in the missile factories. Where have I heard this kind of thing before? Did you Nazi it coming? News Flash: The vast majority of people who would be affected by this aren't ever going to be part of your $%^%ing workforce, or anyone else's. You slimy bastards.

And if you make over a certain amount, you would not be eligible. Who would the target be? Oh, that's right, no one. But we have hundreds of billions for wars and slush funds and to sue whoever.

Message received: We must serve our capitalist gods. Our labor is theirs to demand and not our own.

If they could work they would have great healthcare according to the republicans.

These rapeublicans are disgusting people

a LOT of adult medicaid recipients are mentally ill. I hope they have good case managers. this is devastating.

This is a Machiavellian plan - so disgusting to shame people who are too sick to work with hidden disabilities, obvious disabilities and mental disabilities that vary from day to day. I don't just lack respect for Oz, I am disgusted by the shaming of poverty & illness while Oz et al are stealing

Welp I'm going to die

"Doc" Oz's prescription: kill the sick

They could ask Rick Scott about that, if they are confused. I'm sure he is right down the hall.

She still is. I listen to her. Most of the time. lol.

WINNER

MAGA Make Americans Grovel Again

Naturally. Isn't the point of the Health and Human Services department to genocide as many poor people as possible?

If we were a wealthy country with universal Healthcare, a racist regime like trump's wouldn't be able to limit life-saving medical care to only people they "deem worthy of life."

Them: "People will need to prove they are too sick to work to avoid the work requirements." Sane People: "Wait, wouldn't a ton of the people too sick to work have done that already when they originally applied? Wait DOGE audited everything so why don't you already know they are too sick?"

We need to strip Congressional and the Administration’s free healthcare for life! Fuck them!

No one should live in fear of not having medical coverage

Death panels by another name.

Meanwhile, Mexico is instituting universal healthcare

@democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @frost.house.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov MAGA is killing people with this. All Dems need to run on Single Payer Healthcare.

They’ll be doing the same to Medicare soon.

The mere fact you have Dr. Oz, administrator of the ivermectin for treatment of COVID in a leadership position tell you everything you need to know about Republican policy. What a loser!

Evil nation

"If you're sitting at home, which is true for the millions of people who are able-bodied on Medicaid, on average, you're spending 6.1 hours watching television, or just hanging around," Maybe they can't get around so they watch TV. This will hurt the MAGA base the most. Will they wake up now?

"...advocates say." Really? Do you mean actual domain experts? Advocates is so partisan sounding and dismissive. Thank you for considering my style guide recommendation.

It feels like MAGA is trying to "cull the weak", literally. They want sick people to die. Anyone who can't make billionaires richer don't deserve to live. It sounds harsh, but it truly feels like a cultural eugenics program. "If you're not healthy, you're not worth it"

What even is news?

wtf. Ok, how about this: Trump also has gvt healthcare, so he has to meet the same criteria and We The People will decide how many hours he has worked before he can receive any of his medical care. After two months of this, this new rule can go into effect for the rest of the country.

A good government makes everyone suffer for no reason

do the work rules apply to farmers who get federal subsidies?

Conservatives are truly evil creatures.

Right this way, Dr. Oz. We've been expecting you.

Republicans need to be voted out asap

Finally no more free rides for cancer patients! #dumbassipublicans

Disgusting!

This is horrid. And on brand.

Why do every day Americans have to work for 80 hours and have to prove that are sick for basic healthcare needs when federal politicians who barely work at all receive benefits for free?

Broken greedy selfish pig society.

Cutting medicaid to our disabled adult child for no cause, then the appeal is written, followed by a spontaneous approval before the appeal was even processed. Why why why? We did not wish for our child to have a severe developmental disability ffs!

They can just fill out the forms in the emergency room while they’re laying there unconscious.

Asswipe

It sucks being disabled. I’m not on Medicaid, but I do know what it’s like to feel beneath society. To struggle to make it month to month while ill. I’d like these people to have to rely on social safety nets for a year. See how they feel. People with too much taking from those who have not enough.

Those contemptible half-men like Mehmet are so corrupt and so degenerate, that they assume everyone is just like them. They can't conceive that someone can't actually work because of sickness. They have to assume everyone is just as corrupt as them.

Dr Oz would go on to say "Get a job advising and administering medicaid services. It's easy as involves no physically hard work, and the intellectual stuff you can just make up as you go along. Pays well. Like me. Really what's stopping you?"

"Work makes you free"

workhouses for the chronically or terminally ill a Nazi country

The feds have always done this. Ever known someone or yourself, try to apply for social security disability benefits (SSDI)? By practice apps are denied. They hope you will give up immediately. And every time you re-apply w more docs and proof, you will still get denied-now Medicaid is the same

as someone who is literally disabled and spending ALL the little energy i do have on caring for my elderly disabled mom ---- PLEASE yall in the Comments here shut up and DO something about this, please, i'm begging you 😭

They already check on that in my state , NY, they've been doing it for decades, you must come in for a face to face meeting with all appropriate signed documents

For Republicans, the cruelty is the point.

Evil Sadistic republicans! I hope their Own families are affected!

guys I think the government might be bad

That policy will create hardships, create a beauocratic quagmire, and pay for ultra-rich tax breaks. 😠

This is pure cruelty. People paid their own taxes into these programs & then have benefits taken away when they need it. Letting people die as a way to fund the ballroom is evil.

To feed the healthcare conglomerates like United Health, Oz has stock in it

The first instinct is to call that charlatan a quack but that’s too generous. How about a sadistic quack?

Local churches should start programs for people to volunteer at for 80 hours a month. Folding bulletins, cleaning the church, making meals in the kitchens (for the volunteers to eat and/or take home). Easy stuff at their own pace. As long as the hours are signed off on.....
