Trump administration says you have to work the fields to get Medicaid

American fear that they will lose their medication coverage thanks to the Massive Cup Les Républicains made the program When passage “One Big, Beau Bill” by President Donald Trump. Fortunately, the Trump administration has found a new and new way for people to recover their health insurance coverage.

The secretary of agriculture, Brooke Rollins, said that Americans can work on the fields to replace the thousands of immigrant agricultural workers that the Trump administration expels – leaving farms desperate For work.

“We advance the workforce towards automation and participation at 100% American, which with 34 million people, valid on Medicaid, we should be able to do fairly quickly,” said Rollins said Tuesday to a press conference in the Department of Agriculture.

Of course, Millions of people who will lose their coverage Medicaid are Working and therefore does not need jobs in the cultures selection fields. According to At Kaiser Family Foundation, 92% of Medicaid beneficiaries work. The other 8% is either “retired, unable to find work or did not work for another reason,” said KFF. Difficult to see how retirees could do the hard work of crop harvesting in hot fields.

In addition, there are not enough unemployed Americans to fill the thousands of retro-electional jobs that farmers lose thanks to that of Trump Cruel immigration raids.

“Data from the past five months indicate a serious drop in the number of immigrant workers,” said labor economist Mark Regets, a principal researcher at the National Foundation for American Policy, said Forbes of recent employment report data. “Despite the growth of unresolved figures, the participation rate of the workforce born in the United States and the overall total of the seasonal adjusted workforce suggest that the loss of immigrant labor does not bring more workers born in the United States in the workforce.”

In fact, farmers seem alarm, saying that immigration raids lead workers not to present themselves, which puts cultures in risk of risk of rot in the fields– something that will hurt American farmers and consumers, who could See price increases Due to food shortages.

And finally, Americans just don’t want the farm jobs Rollins suggests that they should get if they want Medicaid coverage.

For decades, farmers have said that Americans Not interested in difficult jobs Choosing cultures, which led them to rely on the work of immigrants. Even Trump knows, as he is at the beginning said He would stop immigration raids on farms and companies that rely on immigrant workers – before reverse this position And allow the raids in the farms to resume.

In the end, it’s just more cruelty from the Republicans and the Trump administration – who think that all the poor are lazy and do not deserve aid.
