To justify Medicaid cuts, House Speaker Mike Johnson says the healthcare program leads to "able-bodied young men" playing videogames instead of working.
Putting aside the, “Everyone but an idiot knows the poor must be kept poor, or they will never be productive” logic, it’s also just dumb as shit to claim that “able-bodied young men” are going to be super motivated to get off the couch for the sake of health insurance - not even real healthcare, we’re talking about paying hundreds of dollars a month so that if you get sick you can “only” be saddled with a very high deductible.
I fucking hate these people’s guts. Something something Luigi’s Mansion.
