aren't like your ex-friends.

They are homeless people (anything but "chronically homeless," whatever that is), people without reliable transportation, people with lower IQ's but not considered disabled (the new paperwork requirements, which are supposed to be done online, will be one more confounding obstacle for people who haven't finished high school), etc. And there will be hardly any savings to the government because of all the monitoring that will have to set up. This is mainly punitive, I think -- so people like you won't be mad at people like your ex-friends -- who are probably in the minority of people on Medicaid.
