Since When Do We Play ‘Quid Pro Quo’ with Basic Healthcare? No job? No Health Care. Sorry. Our U.S. Administration does not care if you are an American. Can’t pay? Can’t work? No Health Care for you. Your screwed. Bummer for you. “Community engagement requirements (meaning—you have a job and you are working) are not some subversive attempt to just kick people off of Medicaid," Seema Verma, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services...” and yet 4,300 people were denied their medical coverage in Arkansas alone in one month—because of this rule. So I would submit a counter-point: “Uh...apparently it is.” Arkansas became the first state, in Medicaid's 53-year history, to strip coverage from beneficiaries for not meeting work requirements. And next up is Indiana and New Hampshire (What happened to the State’s motto of ‘Live Free or Die?’ Maybe the revised state motto should be “Forced to Work or Die from Lack Of Health Care.) If you don’t feel a chill down your spine then you don’t grasp the far reaching nature of this governmental over-reach. What’s next? Gotta prove you don’t have a pre-existing condition or that you don’t over eat? Yikes. #healthcare #paytolive
