Hatch’s scurrilous remarks about Medicaid expansion and Medicaid recipients tell us the way that the GOP plans to kill not only Medicaid expansion but Medicaid itself. His sneer about “able-bodied” adults runs in a direct line of descent back to Reagan’s welfare queens.
Yes, Orrin, able-bodied people are treated by Medicaid so that they can try to stay able-bodied, the same way that you have received your Cadillac health-care insurance in the Senate for four decades on our dime and as a result you remain at the age of eighty-two sufficiently upright to continue to do horrific damage to the American people.
