Federal health officials will likely reject Montana’s request to include work requirements for beneficiaries of its Medicaid expansion program, which insures 100,000 low-income Montana adults, state officials said.

Free money, no work. Sounds like what the democrats have been trying to implement!

We’re a two-class society. Those who work, and those who live off those who work. Expect it to get worse.

It’s by design. The Cloward–Piven strategy.

They want to collapse the system so they can usher in communism. It’s all going to collapse all right, but not in the way they expect.
