Medicaid pays the healthcare bills for greedy employers [View all]

Many if not most of Medicaid recipients are employed. The reason they qualify for Medicaid is so many employers don't offer healthcare coverage to their employees anymore. That's what happens when R policies kill unions and cater to the wealthy.

The working poor are really getting screwed in this bill and people need to understand that it is not the lazy guy living in his mom's basement who benefits from this program. It's the part time worker who doesn't et healthcare coverage with their job and may have to juggle multiple part time jobs that don't offer insurance.

I think Dems should invite people like this to cut ads, appear in hearings, whatever. We need to put faces to these people and hear their stories.
