What about banning people who have Medicaid from eating fast food?
And no food stamps except for foods in the lean protein, high fiber, healthy fats, etc. categories.
Is that too drastic?
Because I’m telling you, it’s a vicious cycle.
If your job doesn’t provide decent health insurance and you aren’t buying decent insurance yourself, i.e., Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc., you ultimately, at some point, will be using taxpayer $$$$ to cover the medical bills which result from an anti-nutritious diet.
Why should taxpayers be stuck paying for self-inflicted heart disease, diabetes, etc.?
If a few dozen people were on Medicaid it wouldn’t be a big deal, but there’s 58 million people who rely on it — for life.
Hell, even NPR published a study recently which essentially said that “disability” is the new welfare.
There’s too many people in the cart and not enough people pushing the cart.
Or we could just get rid of the socialized blight that is medicaid.

Or buying junk food at the grocery store, too.
Oh how many times have I seen the morbidly obese riding the fat scooter at Walmart, with purple shins, ankles, and feet, filling the cart full of sodapop, Little Debbies, and frozen pizza?
You know damn well they are on Medicare/Medicaid and Food Stamps. And we're all paying for their irresponsible behavior.
