Y’all please reblog because this is fucking terrifying. It’s yet another attempt to sabotage any attempt at the poor receiving any kind of health care. God forbid you ever get fired and can’t declare yourself permanently disabled.
Make no mistake: people WILL DIE from this.
Contact your reps however you can. Use Resistbot and more importantly, just spread this shit around because I KNOW there’s a bunch of you on here that are directly affected by this.
Please share far and wide.
It’s murder. Murder by apathy. Murder by politics. Murder by making sick people choose between bankrupting their families or dying to save them from that fate.
There’s a reason why they’re doing this. Why they’re trying to bury the ADA. The ACA. Food stamps. Every social program.
They want to hoard even more money for the rich, for the military industrial complex, for themselves. And they’ll literally kill sick and poor people for that goal. Because we’re nothing to them. We’re not worth a damn thing. If we die? If we go bankrupt? Homeless? Starve? They don’t care. It’s a benefit for their desires to be richer if we’re dead.
This isn’t just politics. This isn’t policy differences. Calling it that santizes and disguises the truth: we, as a people, let other human beings die, starve, go bankrupt and homeless every single day. Those in power are just trying to expand that to more of us now.
If any of y’all think “this is murder” is an exaggeration… Let me paint you a picture.
My clients are all disabled, in some way or another. They all have a serious physical disability, chronic illness, or psychiatric diagnosis that prevents them from working. They are also all homeless. And every single one is on Medicaid.
And, I bet many of you didn’t know, but dictating who gets access to certain kinds of housing (specifically housing for people with serious mental illness- permanent housing) is in part determined by how high your Medicaid usage is.
So, where does this shit leave us? Well, first off, it leaves my clients without any kind of insurance. All of them need medication, all of them go to the doctor and/or hospital frequently. All of them rely on Medicaid. So add a work requirement to Medicaid, and where does that leave people who are physically and mentally incapable of working? Yeah. In the fucking dust.
Now, take away their Medicaid, and their chances of getting into permanent housing drop, too. So not only do they not have the means to get their medications and see their doctors and go to the hospital when they fucking NEED TO, now they no longer qualify for most of the housing that I am trying to get them into. So, they end up back on the street or in dangerous, overcrowded shelters with NO medication, NO doctors, NO hospitals, and almost no fucking chance of getting into housing because they have no Medicaid because they apparently need to work to have Medicaid and they CANNOT. FUCKING. WORK.
SO this is murder. This is murder of people like my clients, who rely on Medicaid and related services. This will be the death of hundreds if not thousands of Americans.
I don’t really have the energy for it, but I looked into things a little.
Kentucky, South Dakota, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi, Kansas, Indiana, and Arkansas are the 9 states I could find named as seeking the work requirement. [x]
Kentucky passed their requirement the day after the article link at the top of this post, on Jan 12th. [x] Indiana passed their’s on Feb 2nd. [x] Kansas seems to have possibly enacted this sometime late Jan, but could still be in the proposal stage. [x] Virginia is the most recent, in the past few days of late Feb. [x]
This IS happening. It’s not a posturing thing, or a goal they have. They are acting on it NOW.
Unless I get approved for disability this year, I won’t have health insurance next year. Like, I just won’t. Because Indiana doesn’t care about people who can’t work.
That orange assh*ole is always doing something evil to distract from something even more evil!
The plight of those immigrant children is emphatically not a distraction or a less significant evil. Dragging children from the arms of their parents and putting them in concentration camps is a crime against humanity, is what it is.
The Trump administration wants both. They want ethnic cleansing and destruction of the social safety net. Neither is acceptable. Defend immigrants and the poor, disabled, and elderly.
Do not fall for the lie that you have to pick one or the other.
The House farm bill would make the work requirements
stricter. Able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 59 without
dependents would have to work at least 20 hours per week or be part of a
job training program to be eligible for benefits, beginning in 2021 —
and prove that they did so monthly. That minimum work requirement would
be increased to 25 hours by 2026. Those who violate the requirements
would be cut off from benefits for an entire year. If they violate the
requirements repeatedly, recipients could be cut off from benefits for
up to three years.
The impact of these reforms is clear: The Congressional
Budget Office expects it would cut around $20 billion in costs from the
program over the next 10 years, derived directly from reducing the
benefits. Instead, the reforms would increase administrative costs by
requiring beneficiaries to file more paperwork to maintain eligibility.
There are currently about 42 million Americans
living below the poverty line, almost half of whom are children, who
rely on SNAP to purchase food. It’s expected that roughly 2 million
would be pushed off the rolls altogether, or see reductions in already
meager stipends.
There are some investments in the benefits, with funding
for the Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Program, which would double
SNAP benefits when buying fruits and vegetables. But those improvements
largely pale in comparison to the cuts low-income families would
experience.
“This bill as it is written kicks people off the SNAP
program,” ranking member Peterson said at the bill’s mark up hearing.
“The chairman calls it self-selection. Call it whatever you want, it’s
reducing the SNAP rolls.”
The farm bill is expected to be debated in the House early May; it’s currently not clear whether or not it has enough support to pass. Contact your legislators in both House and Senate and tell them not to pass any version of the farm bill that introduces new work requirements or cuts for SNAP.
Tell them that SNAP is an efficient program that reduces food insecurity, work requirements aren’t effective in getting people to work, and all Americans deserve to eat. If you or someone you know has ever been helped by SNAP, tell them your story, too.
“Contrary to a common misconception, [taking away Medicaid coverage from people who don’t work a specified number of hours each month] won’t just hurt non-working enrollees; it also will likely cause many working people to lose coverage.”
Also, some enrollees who meet work requirements may still lose coverage because they get tripped up by red tape and paperwork.
A bigger part of the whole point than has tended to get discussed much.
The more bureaucratic obstacles they throw up in the way, the fewer people will be able to successfully navigate them. (And if course the more paperwork agencies have to “lose”.) As part of a longer term strategy to pay out as little as possible.
Without much fanfare (totally apropos, given what’s been happening in the world of the White House in the last 72 hours),
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that will
force recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits,
Medicaid and low-income housing subsidies to find work or lose their
assistance.
Trump quietly signed the long-anticipated order, oddly named
“Reducing Poverty in America by Promoting Opportunity and Economic
Mobility.” Given that many government agencies, including the Department
of Health and Human Services, have already begun issuing waivers to
Republican governors who want to impose stricter work requirements on
Medicaid recipients to cut costs, it will not make much of an impact, according to the New York Times.
The
fact remains that most able-bodied adults who receive federal aid in
the form of subsidized health care or housing already work—but are still
unable to make ends meet; others receive exemptions for legitimate
reasons.
From the Times:
The order gave
all cabinet departments 90 days to produce plans that impose work
requirements on able-bodied aid recipients and block ineligible
immigrants from receiving aid, while drafting “a list of recommended
regulatory and policy changes” to push recipients off the rolls and into
jobs.
…
The aim, Trump aides said … is to prod federal
and state officials to take a tougher stance with aid recipients —
millions of whom currently receive exemptions from existing work
requirements because they are in training programs, provide care for
relatives or volunteer their labor.
The Agriculture Department is
already pressuring states to impose work requirements in the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the program formerly known as
food stamps. Earlier this year, the Department of Health and Human
Services granted a waiver to Arkansas
so it could require Medicaid recipients to get jobs, participate in job
training or engage in job searches at least 80 hours a month.
According
to the Kaiser Foundation, most able-bodied adults who do not already
have jobs face obstacles in working, including mental problems, criminal
records and certain family situations.
Yet the narrative from the Trump administration says differently.
“Our
country suffers from nearly record high welfare enrollments,” said
Andrew Bremberg, the president’s domestic policy chief, according to the
Times, which notes that Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
payments to poor people are approaching record lows.
Trump also
reportedly wants to change the word “welfare” to include not only cash
payments but also food and medical benefits (SNAP and Medicaid).
Or
he just doesn’t give AF. And I quote: “Mr. Trump, several aides said,
is unconcerned—or perhaps even unaware—of the distinction between cash
assistance and other safety-net programs … he calls them all welfare.”
And we know what connotations go along with that.
FFFUUUCCCKKK
Goddammit.
To all the people this bullshit is going to harm and make life even more awful/difficult for: remember that the Republicans are the ones responsible for this shit during the midterm elections this year
AND VOTE THESE HATEFUL SACKS OF SHIT OUT
This is how they kill poor people, slowly and legally
My dad will lose both his home and food stamps from this.
This is murder.
By any other name.
MURDER.
This was done in the UK a few years ago. Within months hundreds were facing an abrupt cessation of benefits. Hundreds more were looking at the same, if somewhat delayed–talking shrunk but not cut benefits, diminished access to services, disability insensitive labor requirements….
Almost all of it landed first, and potentially most harshly, on disabled people. While this will undoubtedly harm people who aren’t disabled, but are otherwise limited in work opportunities (single parents, caretakers, employment deserts, etc), make no mistake that it will be disabled people bearing the brunt of this.

I mean, this is an obviously crazy-impractical half-assed undercooked sorta-half-idea that someone threw in there as an “innovation” that couldn’t possibly be enacted (for one thing, grocery chains will have a FIT), but let’s focus on how cartoonishly evil this is:
Under the Trump proposal, which the Agriculture Department has dubbed “America’s Harvest Box,” all households receiving more than $90 per month in benefits — 81 percent of SNAP households overall — would begin receiving about half their benefits in the form of government-purchased, nonperishable food items.
Those foods would include shelf-stable milk, juice, grains, cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned meat, fruits and vegetables, according to the USDA. The department estimates that it could supply these goods at about half the cost of retail, slashing the cost of SNAP while still feeding the hungry.
No fresh fruit or vegetables for you! No more actually choosing the food you eat, dietary requirements be damned! We hate poor families this much!
You really have to admire the mental gymnastics lefties like OP are capable of pulling off by arguing that literally giving poor people food is the exact same thing as making them starve to death. That type of impressive athletics is something you’d only imagine seeing at the Olympics.
Hi!
I’m a disabled person whose family literally receives SNAP right now. Why we receive it or the circumstances under which we receive it is nobody’s business but ours: the social safety net is here for us because we fell on hard times. One of my disabilities? Celiac disease. And yes, that is an ADA disability.
I cannot simply eat a box of food that someone gives me. Canned foods often use glutenated substances as preservatives, making them literally poison for me. I must very carefully choose my foods. A restricted diet is the only treatment for my life-threatening disease.
So, yes, handing people like me a box of food absolutely is asking us to starve, because most canned meats, canned vegetables, and cereals are not edible by me, nor is it safe for those items to be eaten in a kitchen used to feed me; gluten adheres to porous surfaces such as Tupperware, plastic bowls, and non-stick cookware. That food cannot be eaten in my home without making me sick, so no one in my family can eat it either.
Now that’s leaving aside entirely the fact that I have a hard time, due to my disease, with absorbing nurtients from food, so I must carefully choose what I eat to maximize my nutritional absorption. Hint: canned foods have much lower nutritional value and would not meet my needs either.
The article – had you read it – makes very clear that those proposing this hadn’t considered how to handle people with food allergies or celiac disease. So we could go with this massively-expensive, incredibly invasive, paternalistic, infantilizing and ineffective system that would leave someone like me not only hungry but sicker, making more use of the Medicaid that I currently receive because I am permanently disabled, and thus more expensive…
… or we could keep it the way it is, not waste all that money setting up a ridiculously bad system that will make people sick, and trust poor families to know how best to feed themselves for their specific needs.
Oh, but wait! There’s more! This plan would take money away from small mom-and-pop grocery stores and farms who currently accept EBT and supply a lot of the food stamp needs for rural working poor.
It requires an awful lot of mental gymnastics to justify taking money away from small business owners and also giving poor people food less-nutritional food that a lot of us can’t even eat. It takes absolutely none to say ‘gee, here’s your food money, you know better than we do what your individual needs are, sorry life’s kicking you right now, hopefully things get better, I hope this system is here to help me if I need it.’
But, you know, go off, I guess.
Except it is my business it is my business because you being on snap costs anyone who pays taxes money in the form of taxes. So yes it is my business and you shouldn’t be on it.
Now that means, get a job, make money and take care of yourself so you aren’t on this program is fine with me.
And before you get offended at me even suggesting such a thing, is this not what you want? To be independent and self sustaining?
Oh but it’s hard. Still doesn’t change my position. Work is hard difficult and at times dangerous but if we want this world of ours to keep spinning it must be done.
So don’t sit there and tell anyone it’s not my or anyone’s business that you use this system that costs people money, because it is. And your job as a being with the ability to reason, is to self improve. So improve yourself and gain your independence.
My being on SNAP costs you less than a hundredth of a penny a year. So you may have exactly a hundredth of a penny’s worth of concern about my circumstances.
That said, I have a job. I own a business, as a matter of fact. You’d know that if you took so much as a cursory look at the header of my Tumblr.
Let me rock your fucking world: most people who receive SNAP have at least one job. Most of us (like me) have two or more.
Let me rock your fucking world again: I could be eligible for disability, but I choose not to seek it for as long as possible, if ever. I am permanently, multiply disabled, which you would know if you had actually read everything that I wrote. I am literally doing everything within my power to be as independent as possible for as long as possible.
I work hard. I work as hard as my body will allow me, and sometimes more than, causing myself to become sick, to require hospital admission, because I seek again the kind of independence that I used to have before a tumor was taken out of my spine, permanently scarring my spinal cord, and setting off a chain reaction that left me at the mercy of a body that would no longer obey me. I went from having a hefty 401K, a job in the finance industry, and significant savings to starting a business that I’d be able to run around the restrictions of my body because I can no longer work a traditional 9-5 job. I physically cannot do it. I continued to work my finance job for 4 years after my tumor was removed, as my health has slowly deteriorated, until my job was eliminated. I will never be able to work a 9-5 job again, because I will not have FMLA protection for my unpredictable flare-ups. That is not my opinion: that is the assessment of four different doctors. See also: I could seek disability and probably get it, but choose not to do so for as long as I can.
Let me rock your fucking world yet again: I have paid more in to the system than I have ever gotten out of it. You haven’t paid a fucking penny to me, because I paid in to the system for my entire working life, from before I was even an adult.
But even if none of that were true, even if I’d never been able to work a day in my life, even if I never had worked a day in my life, even if I didn’t work my fucking ass off as much as my body will let me, even if I weren’t constantly turning out new products for my business, new writing for my patrons, making as much money as I can, you still don’t get to have a fucking opinion about why I’m on SNAP, you know why?
Because the right to food is recognized in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25) as part of the right to an adequate standard of living, and is enshrined in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Article 11).
Food is a basic human right, as recognized internationally, and understood by everyone who isn’t a solipsistic jackass.
I know it’s really scary to think that you, too, might suddenly be unable to adequately provide for yourself, and acting out of that fear makes you insist that everyone who needs help must simply not be working hard enough, because the alternative is that our economic system is broken and that, G-d forbid, you might suddenly, through no fault of your own, be at the mercy of the same system that you purport works for everyone. You might not be able to provide for yourself if you got sick, or if something went wrong, and that’s scary. I get that.
But I’m under no obligation to pat your bottom and reassure you that you’re right, golly gosh, if I worked harder I wouldn’t need any help, and so your deeper fears that you might find yourself in my shoes just aren’t true, because you’re totally in control of your situation with all your hard work, and an uncaring universe would never do you dirty the way it’s done me.
So fuck off, bro. And leave everyone else who needs a little help alone.
People will really go out of their way to blame poor people for being poor and disabled people for being disabled.
It’s honestly heartbreaking that so many people feel that way about SNAP. Like. They don’t care for their fellow man enough to feed them when they’re hungry. Hungry kids? Also not worth helping, apparently, as like 75% of SNAP recipients have kids in the household.
I’m infuriated that this seems to be a common sentiment. How selfish and cruel do you have to be to tell someone who is less fortunate than you that they aren’t working hard enough to deserve to eat? All because you pay a few dollars in taxes per year? I’m just. So disappointed that so many people are that selfish.
Someone’s reasons for needing assistance are their own. If the Health and Human Services department deemed that someone is eligible for benefits, that’s the end of it. No one deserves to invade on a person’s privacy. SNAP recipients are actual human beings who DESERVE RESPECT.
I think “losing” applications is SOP, unfortunately. Not just the SSA, I lost food stamps and Medicaid coverage for at least 2 or 3 months a year over that. Every year. Existing file? They never heard of you before. Sorry you got that, and the rest
I’ve actually never had issues with medicaid I don’t think but I did lose cell service because I have a subsidized phone and they screwed my application up (I lost my phone number too)
This is my second denial for ss they apparently didn’t use the old files or the new files so i have no idea what the fuck they were even doing for the last 6 months. I get to talk to my therpist/social worker on monday and hopefully they can help me avoid it happening again
I lost Medicaid this year because of bullshit like that. I got it back and got retroactive Medicaid for the time I was without it, which is good because I’d never have been able to pay the hospital bills without it, not in a million years. But it was a serious hassle, and all happened for really stupid reasons. I’m just glad I have a case manager who was capable of doing all the legwork to get it back, because I’m not even remotely capable of dealing with Medicaid bureaucrats.
In my case, also, Medicaid has tried to deny me on the grounds of income before, even though I’m in a protected category of people (in my case, Disabled Adult Children, there are other categories treated the same as well) who are supposed to be considered equivalent to SSI recipients for Medicaid purposes (meaning that I have no income limit for Medicaid). I would call them up (back when I could use the Internet for relay purposes, before they required all kinds of bullshit to be able to do that) and tell them “Turn to page ____ of the Medicaid manual” and they’d just repeat at me “You have too much income.” No matter how many times I told them to just open the frigging manual and what page to open it to. Then I got Legal Aid’s lawyers to call them and tell them the exact same thing, and it was fixed with one phone call. That happened to me at least twice.
This time though it was something related to a change of address or something like that. But it seems like they’ll drop you for practically any reason.
And I’ve found that any bureaucracy whose basic goal is to save the government money by shutting as many people out of the program as possible, will do blatantly illegal things, including losing files on purpose (or pretending to have lost files), basically hoping that you won’t fight back. And then half the time if you fight back even a little they’ll cave in. They’re just banking on the fact that, statistically, most people aren’t going to have the time, energy, knowledge, and/or ability, to fight back, so they can save a lot of money by just ignoring people’s applications until they send in the equivalent of Legal Aid.
California’s Regional Center system is notorious for pulling stunts like that. In my case, for instance, they simply did not notify me when I was accepted as a Regional Center client. The time for the notification came and went and they simply did not return phone calls asking if I was accepted. The moment my mother sent them a letter by way of Protection and Advocacy, they suddenly sent me a letter saying I’d been accepted. They were just hoping that we’d give up and go away when we didn’t get a response out of them. And that’s because a large number of people wouldn’t know to contact P&A, and would either continue making fruitless phone calls, or give up assuming they’d not been accepted to begin with.
People tell me it’s too cynical to believe that places like the Regional Center exist in order to save the state money by denying people services, but that really seems to be their actual role in the world, as seen by themselves. And Social Security, Medicaid, and the like are no different that way. They’re all about making it as hard as possible to get benefits. And that includes people who absolutely do qualify, who are even acknowledged by the state as qualifying, who simply aren’t told that they qualified in the hopes that they’ll assume they didn’t and go away. And for things like Disabled Adult Child benefits and Medicaid, in states where DAC recipients automatically get Medicaid no matter what our income… they’ll basically pretend that they don’t know the law, because it’s so easy to pretend given how small and obscure the groups are that qualify in this way.
All of which adds up to a nightmare for anyone trying to get any kind of benefits or services anywhere, whether they technically were approved or not.
A little more context, in case anybody missed that link in the last post.
I recall that I think it was Florida got caught with internal memos and stuff years ago, with an “unofficial”-official policy of automatically denying applications regardless of eligibility in hopes that people would just go away and not be able to appeal. And that was stuff like TANF, where they knew full well that little kids were bearing the brunt.
That was just one case where it was documented and they faced scrutiny over it. I am sure that other states (very much including Virginia, where I was–and it’s at least as bad as Florida in a lot of ways) are doing the same crap, besides all the paperwork “losing” and “oops, you’re just not in our system!”. Besides similar bureaucracies at the federal level.
The only reason I had any kind of disability or medical benefits for years was because my mother knew her stuff and was persistent. A lot of people just don’t have the knowledge or the ability to keep chasing after them and making effective threats. I just don’t have the ability, at all, and never have. If something happens to my partner, I’m just screwed now.
It struck me as particularly ridiculous how they kept dumping me off Medicaid, which I shouldn’t have even had to submit a full application for since SSI makes you automatically eligible. Because they did have to cover the gap with back payments every time. (Unlike the food stamps, where they did actually save money.)
But, I was temporarily very limited in the medical care I could get, though thankfully my grandmother could temporarily cover any regular prescriptions that the doctor couldn’t make up in samples. (My main doctor was a good guy and would see me anyway, but you can bet pharmacies aren’t giving stuff out and billing later. And a lot of medications are bad to stop suddenly…) A lot of other people wouldn’t have that kind of backup available. I was lucky.
It was disruptive, and I suspect that was the main point. Besides the fact that it would have been hard for Social Services to claim they’d never heard of me to avoid paying out the huge $25/month in food stamps, without also dumping me off Medicaid–with their administering both programs. 😐
Reminded of this again, with the most recent Medicaid fuckery. Glad I found an earlier post I thought I remembered, not to have to repeat.
Haven’t been running across much discussion of this crap as an additional goal with the application changes. When pretty much anyone who has dealt with the system has already run into enough deliberate obstructionism as things stand already. Just another way to try to weed people out–and generally the ones who need it the most.
It does frustrate me, how many people who have not needed to rely on these programs want to assume they’re working fine now.
(Including with the “Medicare For All is the only way!!!” crowd. If you truly think that, you probably haven’t dealt with Medicare yourself or had people you care about harmed by the system as it exists in reality. Let’s fix it to be fit for purpose, and then maybe we can consider the rest. Yeah, some coverage in theory is way better than nothing at all. But, I am not going to pretend that’s ideal in practice. Those are not the only choices.)
