Matt Bruenig, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/45PBo\" rel=\"\">writing for the New York Times<\/a><span>, responds to this with his usual rebuttal: most people on Medicaid are people we typically think of as unable to work, like children or elderly caregivers.

Health care services have much in common with police and fire services\u2026refusing medical care to people in their time of need based on how much they happened to work the month before is a cruel and pointless policy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a compelling defense of Medicaid in particular, but it also raises a broader question: what about other welfare benefits? Americans generally seem to think that ABNWs deserve healthcare, but do they also deserve non-emergency benefits like SNAP?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After months of pledges not to cut Medicaid, Donald Trump is preparing to cut Medicaid.
