This will be hard to prove like who is ABLE to work and who is not. I think most people on welfare want to work and provide so they dont have to endure the struggles of poverty long term.
I can see this being challenged as somehow unconstitutional? But it looks like states will decide so If a person lives in a shitty state then they could move to a state where they'd get benefits without a bunch of red tape/hoop jumping.
I also notice
"Plus, state Medicaid agencies won't get any additional federal funding to help recipients find and hold jobs, even though they are generally not equipped to develop, provide, and administer work support programs, said MaryBeth Musumeci, associate director of Kaiser's Program on Medicaid and the Uninsured.
"The new [state programs] will penalize individuals by having them lose health coverage, rather than incentivize them, as a voluntary program with adequately funded supportive services necessary to overcome barriers, would," she said."
If they are going to penalize people by dropping their insurance then they should help them find jobs if that is the requirement to maintain the ins.
