Roughly 84 million people are covered by Medicaid. But as states begin checking everyone’s eligibility for the government-sponsored program for the first time in three years, as many as 14 million people could lose access to that health care coverage.

Bet ya a nickel NYS does not check....who wants some of this?

Medicaid is greatly abused, and should be cut 10% annually for five years.

Lmao what a spin this is. People who were cheating the system and stealing money are no longer able to do that. Fucking good.

So glad that when either side of the uniparty had majority control they couldn't figure out a way for our richest nation in the world to medically protect its own citizens. Instead you fund wars and imperialism and line your own pockets.

Taxpayer sponsored.

If they're able-bodied, they need to be w-o-r-k-i-n-g!

Wow. Fraud in our welfare system may be beyond repair. My guess is these people will pay no price stealing from the taxpayers.

Illegals?

America needs universal healthcare for all.

It is FAR too easy to persuade a doctor to deem someone as disabled and get benefits allowing them to do EVERYTHING except work. I’m not saying that there aren’t ACTUAL disabled people. I know numerous people on these bens that are NOT disabled. They’re allergic to working.

And rightly so if they are making more than the allowed income. 84M + 18.4% of the population or 62.5M on Medicare is 146.5M people on government funded healthcare. That’s 43% of the population. No wonder our debt is so high.

So fraudsters will be kicked out then?

Gonna be really fun watching those states whine about homelessness in 5 years.

once again a government created problem

Because they are not eligible! What part of that don't you understand?

Hopefully they’ll be charged for benefits they took but were not entitled to.

And?

Why isn’t the title “14 million defrauding Medicaid”

Translation: The government let you go back to work, so now that you're working again, you're no longer eligible any more.

That number is about 84m to high.

Biden needs to boot Americans off so he can supply illegals and other countries. This president is anti - American. Worst traitor alive today.

How do you say a fed up population with an increase in entropy now going to be facing another life crisis with less financial means than the previous one?

84 million. 55 million are white people.

Over 20% of the population? Can’t be.

If they are no longer eligible...

What about all the elderly and nursing home residents who are on Medicaid? Who will make sure they are renewed

Why would anyone want to live in the US with Healthcare like this? Getting sick shouldn't financially ruin families

“states starts doing their job”. No one would read it then.

Can anyone explain why SO MANY people were EVER eligible? Seems like Medicaid is being manipulated to eventually REPLACE Obamacare as 'free medical for all' coverage. A leftist 'end-around' the will of THE PEOPLE to NOT give away things most of us WORKED FOR our whole lives.

So, they’re going back to the normal rules? I don’t see why that’s a problem. Is this just a heads up to people to look for alternative sources for health insurance? If so, you could have just said that.

But IF the states begin checking everyone’s eligibility for the government-sponsored program for the first time in three years, as many as 14 million people could lose access to that health care coverage who NEVER should have been on the program to begin with because they weren’t…

Checking eligibility? Like checking for fraud? Ok.

In America, under regulated capitalism rules all

Well… if they aren’t eligible… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Republicans keep trying to take entitlement programs away from We the People. 😡
