"This bill protects Medicaid… for those who truly deserve this program, the needy, pregnant women, children and sick Americans who physically cannot work. It ensures that able-bodied Americans who can work 20 hours a week are actually doing so, and that will therefore strengthen and protect those benefits for Americans who need it.”
"It is perfectly reasonable for taxpayers who are paying into the Medicaid program to insist that everyone in the program who can contribute do so, by working……Will the work requirements as the House and Senate have drafted them result in some people not enrolling in Medicaid? Yeah, probably. There is no obvious way to strike a balance between helping too much and helping too little, but a work requirement is a perfectly reasonable one."
