Dr. Oz on Medicaid cuts: People should ‘prove that you matter’​



“… Oz made the comments during an interview Wednesday on Fox Business, arguing that when Medicaid was created in the 1960s lawmakers did not include work requirements because it “never dawned on anybody that able-bodied people who work would be on Medicaid.”

“We’re asking that able-bodied individuals who are able to go back to work at least try to get a job or at least volunteer or take care of loved-one who needs help or go back to school,” he said. “Do something that shows you have agency over your future.”

If Americans are willing to do that, he added, they should be able to be enrolled or stay enrolled in Medicaid.

“But if you are not willing to do those things, we are going to ask you to do something else. Go on the exchange, or get a job and get onto regular commercial insurance. But we are not going to continue to pay for Medicaid for those audiences.”

“Go out there, do entry-level jobs, get into the workforce, prove that you matter. Get agency into your own life,” he added. “It’s a much more enjoyable experience if you go through life thinking you are in control of your destiny and you will get better insurance at the same time.”…”

What's the criteria for proving that you matter?

I bet Oprah is so ashamed of this man.

100%. I'm not sure jonesing is a strong enough word. They fantasize about it when they go to bed and it's the first thing they think about when they wake up. That is, after all, how one loses one's wife to Elon Fucking Musk.

I would hate to have the job of ICE agent.

Yes, there is a purpose, but I would bet that most of them are in it to have some power over others. Being powerless is a horrible feeling, I bet that most of them know it well.

This is precisely the type of lead-in I expected when predicting a city would get placed under martial law (literally or figuratively), by the end of September. This type of protest gives Stephen Miller frothy white spittle at the corners of his mouth.
