A Sankey diagram by Taylor Maggiacomo from the linked column by Matt Bruenig that shows the distribution of age and employment status of Medicaid recipients in 2022. In particular it shows that only 3% of Medicaid recipients were working age but not working long term
Conditioning Medicaid and health care services on work is cruel, counterproductive, and defeats the whole purpose of having insurance
Excellent column from @mattbruenig.bsky.social

I really appreciate this clear, easy to understand, argument from @mattbruenig.bsky.social about the cruelty of Medicaid work requirements.
It’s a genuine problem how widespread the notion is that welfare programs are overrun with people who just don’t want to work. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/o...
Screenshot from NYT op-ed. Text reads: Health care services have much in common with police and fire services. We turn to them when something has gone wrong, often unpredictably and catastrophically. Our society could decide that police and fire departments will not respond to calls made by individuals who worked less than 80 hours in the prior month, but most would find this repugnant and contrary to the purpose of these services. Likewise, refusing medical care to people in their time of need based on how much they happened to work the month before is a cruel and pointless policy.

Relax brother. I am referencing a funny controversy Cooper got into many years ago where he criticized large trucks and incurred a huge right-wing backlash.

This is a version of the second response. In the rural doctor analogy, I even include telemedicine.

Yes absolutely. It makes capable people more capable. Sadly the AI promoters are so focused on this notion of completely replacing people that they fail to convey what it’s actually useful at.
