The myth of able bodied people not working and on Medicaid:

[Snarkoleptic]

14. Mrs. Snark and I pay $950/mo. for that wonderful employer healthcare.

Plus it's got individual deductibles of $2,500 for each of us.

So if a Medicaid recipient needs coverage for two and is lucky enough to land a 20 hour/week job at $15/hr-
$15/hr x 1040 hours per year divided by 12 is $1,300/month before taxes.

After paying the insurance premium, gross pay remaining is $350/mo, so take home is say... $275.
With SNAP being gutted and having to incur expenses to commute, back out another $200 and you've got pocket change.
You still can't get medical care as the deductible is $2,500/person.

The math was never intended to work out and there are not a bunch of 27 year-olds in the basement playing video games, but R's love simple solutions to complex problems. Never mind all that, as long as the wealthy get their tax cuts, it's all good in their eyes.
