Pence is the one who sicced Verma on us.
And now Pence just led a pow wow of the most virulently anti-Americans-who-need-health-care-the-most GOP reps about how to foist the work-requirement scam on America, thus making Ryan’s horrendous bill even worse.
As Alice Olstein notes on Talking Points Memo:
“A study released in 2016 by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that most Medicaid recipients who are physically able to work already do so, and imposing a work requirement for enrollees would do nothing to increase the work force in the long term. ‘Its main effect likely would be the loss of health coverage for substantial numbers of people who are unable to work or face major barriers to finding and retaining employment,’ the study found.”
The hypocrisy of these rich men [oh, excuse me–and women, there are a few like Verma in positions of power around Trump, now, aren’t there?] telling the poor and sick that they don’t work hard enough is disgusting.
