Adding a work requirement is incredibly short-sighted and impractical. It has failed in nearly every state that has tried it. It is not only unrealistic for many disabled people who are Medicaid members to work, but the admirative burden and costs this adds to healthcare providers and the state will put the entire system in further deficit. I don't disagree that encouraging or even incentivizing people who are capable of working to work to some degree is a good idea. But making their healthcare contingent on it is simply NOT the way to do it. We can and must do a better job at finding creative solutions that don't put people who need us must in further peril. Thank you.
