on Medicaid who can't find work .... or even the ones who are working in a low-paying dead-end job but still qualify for Medicaid ....

How about offering free job training or community college instead of making people work at dead end jobs to meet work requirements?

Republicans like to throw around that phrase "free people from dependency" -- well, what more frees one up from dependency than a good paying job with benefits?

I don't get what "work requirements" accomplishes other than creating another layer of beauracracy for poor people to navigate.
