    Will requiring Medicaid recipients to work improve their health? The evidence doesn't suggest so.http://nyti.ms/2DnfSWD

        Most folks on Medicaid, who are capable of working, are working.

        The UK's Department for Work and Pensions tried this under the leadership of Iain Duncan Smith and it totally failed - people literally committed suicide after being found 'fit for work' by a private company contracted on commission to find this result despite being very sick.

        It's called, don't take advantage of society, and by being a leech. Even small amount of work is better than none.

        We should be incentivizing personal economic growth so that those receiving benefits desire to stop using benefits. Also there should be lifestyle change requirements. Receiving benefits should require reducing alcohol and nicotine intake. #commonsense #reform

        I'm sure the stroke patient can do community service... or perhaps the Extended Medicaid recipient and provider of the Family of 4 can increase their already 40hrs reg job into another 20 hrs community serv hrs.

        Most are working, but in low paid jobs that don't provide insurance and don't pay enough to enable you to buy it yourself

        If Medicaid recipients are able bodied, they should enjoy the dignity of employment rather than simply take a handout.

        no, but it will keep chronically sick ppl in their benefits longer IF healthy ppl work longer to pay for their costly healthcare.

        Interesting theory. While we're at it, here's an idea: Let's also require that the scions of well-off families (who will benefit from estate tax exemptions) prove that they work before receiving the inheritances to which they feel "entitled."

        Health is not their goal. Their goal is to pander to their voters who wrongly think anyone on Medicaid is lazy.
