Congrats to Jonathan Cohn, our newest Bulwark member who we love. And his son's getting married. His son's getting married. So I would have him on instead of you to talk about this. So you're going to have to talk about it in his place.

I will be there. I'm going to witness the event. The way this policy works is that you don't technically throw people off Medicaid, or at least not directly. What you do is you impose work requirements. Now, the overwhelming majority of the people on Medicaid are are eligible so they could pass the requirement. You have to be working, you have to be of working age.

So you have to prove that I'm too old or I have kids at home or I'm disabled or I'm working or I'm looking for a job. You have to go through these steps. And you have to go through them usually every month.

And if you've ever dealt with paperwork requirements from the government, these are like the worst version of paperwork requirements where it's like impossible to understand what they're asking for. It's impossible to get people on the phone to answer your questions. It's vague.

And we've dozed all the people that would have answered the questions previously, previous years. Right.

Right. They've tried this in two states, Arkansas and Georgia. And an experiment has proven that what it does is it throws eligible people off the program. People who are eligible who are working or otherwise eligible to receive this just can't get through the paperwork and they lose their eligibility. And then they go to the doctor and they find they can't pay for it. And then they're ruined.

Sometimes those people... had jobs and get sick and can't get treatment for getting sick and then lose their jobs as a result of the fact that they're now too sick to work. So rather than promoting employment, this actually discourages employment.

But what it does do is cut government spending because a lot of people just lose their access to Medicaid and then that's how the government saves money. That is literally what it does. But they're going to claim that, well, we're just making, you know, 25 year olds get off the couch and stop playing video games. But that is absolutely not what these requirements do.
