Thanks for posting that!
Quote from the article:
"Some states are considering requiring people to work, go to school or volunteer in order to receive Medicaid benefits, a condition that would trim the rolls and save money."
Putting aside for a moment the fact that these kind of work/school requirements add an expensive layer of bureaucracy, what about all the folks on Medicaid who cannot work due to serious chronic illness or some other kind of disability?
