Same should be done for Medicaid!!!
Problem with medicaid is fraud. Couples are not getting married and not even declaring they live together. They have 2 kids, work for minimum wage $21.00 hr combined which is $800 week or 40k per year. Mother and kids say they have no other support so 40 becomes 20 and presto...they qualify for subsidized rent, EBT food stamps, and free medicaid. If we could cut the fraud, the total costs could drop by 50%. Of course then there is the child care credit...each parent files as single and many of them use other people’s kids and made up ones to get back several thousand dollars in tax refunds. They overall make more money than hard working honest people.
