Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if the so-called “big, beautiful” spending bill became law, it would “throw poor people away.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “One of the big issues in what is now called the big, beautiful bill act is Medicaid, and he makes the argument people should have to work in er to get Medicaid benefits. What’s wrong with that argument? Why shouldn’t people have to go to work in ER to get Medicaid?”
Warnock said, “This is what the legislation does; they’ll throw poor people away. I believe in work. I recently released a study in Georgia that shows that this work reporting requirement, because that’s what we’re talking about, is not work requirements; work reporting requirements are very good at people kicking people off of health care. It is not good at incentivizing work at all.”

Raph needs to zip it.
you can’t hate these liars enough, folks. Only people consumed by evil would lie as much as Democrats do.
Because a lot of people collect medicaid based on FRAUD..rich people get medicaid too and they dont have to prove they cant work..and the ones who grift off the Govt vote Democrat, so the left doesnt want those people to be forced to work, they might not vote Dem anymore if they realize hey working isnt so bad after all
Bingo
Ra-phail should worry about his own back yard. Or something.
Took me a few to figure out that “ER” meant “order”, not “emergency room”.
How did Georgia elect these 2 communists? If a fair election was held today they’d both be on the streeet!
Reverse psychology? Certainly, criticism from someone like Warnock will make the bill seem desirable.
Another example of the folly of the 17th Amendment!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Legislatures can’t do worse!
If able-bodied people refuse to get work within a certain time period, then maybe, JUST MAYBE, they shouldn’t be entitled to taxpayer-funded benefits. Radical thought, right?
Well you the parson, Ralphie. Turn the fishes into loaves of bread you moron. The poor people need to quit riding on the backs of workers trying to support their own families.
It's easy enough to do when 500,000 discouraged GOP voters stay home.
“...work reporting requirements are very good at people kicking people off of health care. It is not good at incentivizing work at all.”
The Democrats throw all poor people away, as they have become the party of the oligarchs which enriches them far more than does being for the poor. The poor are wising up to your lies, Democrats. Problem is once you become accustomed to easy money, returning to your roots of supporting the poor becomes impossible, rendering the pitch as nothing more than worthless BS.
Raphael lies like a DemocRAT.
Oh, forgot, she IS a rotten, stinkin’ LYING DemocRAT.
LMAO
people who are able bodied and can work and who also have money to pay don’t get free medical care intended for those who have no money and are not healthy enough to work!
That is just common sense, not “throwing people away”
Illicit sin nah tour.
Never was elected, part of the STEAL, the scamdemic biden foist complete with these accessories.
The 2020 steal was full blown in ga.
