Should people be required to work in order to receive Medicaid?

No, but someone should have to vouch that you are eligible

Yes, but help those in need look for a job.

It should be encouraged.

Only if they are able to. Help those that are actively looking for a job.

If the individual can work, then yes. If they cannot, then no.

Yes, Unless severely disabled.

There is always work, if you are disabled you can work from home.

Yes, if they are able, and accept self-employment income as “work” as well.

This should be left up to the states to decide.

Government should not be involved with healthcare.

Abolish both Medicaid and Medicare.

Yes, there are jobs that anyone can do regardless of their condition which can improve their health.

No Abolish Medicaid

if you are able to work then yes but if you are physically incapable then no

yes, if people are physically able to work.

Yes, if they are healthy able bodied individuals

Yes; if going under training, vocation, education, or working

Yes, and we should help those without jobs get jobs.

Yes, but we should try and find jobs for those.

I would say that they have to complete a physical, if they pass it deeming them eligible to work then yes. But, if they are disabled or a senior citizen then my answer would be no.

If they are capable of doing so

Yes, unless a person can prove disability or other inability to work

yes, but abolish Medicaid

If they are able to. They should be given help looking for jobs.

Yes, but the government should help get these people jobs.

If they are able to and help get those people jobs.

Yes, if they are capable otherwise no but the government should help get these people jobs.

Medicaid spending needs to be reduced regardless.

Yes, but with exceptions to the disabled and elderly.

Yes, but allow exceptions for the elderly and disabled.

no if disabled

If you are able to work while receiving Medicaid then you should have to or at least have to try.

Yes, in order to be eligible for Medicaid, persons who are able-bodied should be working, actively seeking employment, or training for a better job, but children, elderly, and disabled should be exempt under the same requirement.

The government should not be in healthcare.

I don't think this is a yes or know question. Some people can't work. Some people choose not to. It's not a cut and dried topic

No but only if they are disabled and cannot work. Otherwise, they should be required to work.

Yes, unless the person is too ill to work

No one should receive Medicaid, as this is outside of the scope of the role of government.

Yes; I believe that recipients of Medicaid should be evaluated to determine whether or not they are capable of some form of employment (even part time.)

Yes, but only for those who are deemed able to work

No, because whether you work or not you are going to need healthcare sometime in your life.

Yes, but people are disabled will receive Medicaid or who are retire

No, especially if we move to a single-player or hybrid system (ex, Australia), coverage would be guaranteed to all citizens, regardless of employment

Yes, but only if they are deemed capable of doing work, as it will help States reduce Medicaid costs

Yes, But make exceptions for the disabled

How would requiring work for Medicaid change your views on the value of social safety nets?

Can requiring work from able-bodied adults be seen as a way to empower them, rather than punish?

If you had to design a work requirement policy, what activities would you consider as work?

How do you think work requirements for Medicaid could affect your community's health?

Could work requirements for Medicaid lead to better health outcomes? Why or why not?

In what ways might work requirements for Medicaid exclude those who are unable to work?

How can a balance be struck between encouraging work and ensuring healthcare access for all?

Do you think work requirements could actually save Medicaid resources, or might they cost more?

How might the idea of 'able-bodied' be too simple to decide who should work for Medicaid?

If a friend was affected by these requirements, what concerns would you have for them?

Yes, unless they are not able to work, but regardless government needs to stay out of healthcare

Yes unless they’re disabled

Yes, however, if they are unable to because of age, sickness, disability, etc they should be exempt from doing so

Yes, if they are able, this will help States reduce Medicaid costs.

No, and socialize healthcare.

No, it should be provided for free as a human right.

Depending on the person, if capable, they should definitely be working.

Yes, unless Medicaid recipients are physically unable to work

If they are sick they should have proof of employment before they were sick unless they underaged.

No, this would exclude elderly retired people who are probably the most in need of something like medicaid out of anyone.

Yes, unless they have a disability which makes them physically or mentally incapable of working

if you are able to, yes

Yes, but provide exemptions for those who are sick, retire, and disabled

No, but reduce the size of Medicaid

Yes, but it also depends on whether the unemployment is voluntary or the cause of an inability to work.

Yes, this will help States reduce Medicaid costs, and research even shows people who are employed are healthier than those who are unemployed

Yes, only 10 hours a week.

Yes, unless it’s absolutely impossible for them to work or they are on unemployment and looking for a job

Trying to seek employment

It should be up to the state

No, if unable to work due to mental or physical issues

Yes, as long as they are not disabled or of retirement age.

Yes, as long as they aren't disabled. But I'd prefer to abolish Medicaid in favor of a negative income tax and a voluntary public health system.

Only if the person does not have a disability or is not trying to keep a job.

Yes, if they are able. Disabled people should not be required to work.

Yes, but if they are unable to for medical reasons then no.

Yes, if they are able-bodied to work. If they are not then they should get Medicaid for being unable-bodied.

Yes, unless they are a child, disabled or 65+yrs

Regardless, people need to have a history of paying taxes to get medicaid.

If you can work, you should work, but if you can't work, then at least make an effort in the community if the community is going to give back to you.

Yes, unless they can prove that they are unable to work

Yes, but only if they are able to work and below the age of retirement.

No, but it does depend on the situation. If they could work, then the level of work that should be required should correspond with what they can give. If they can't then, that shouldn't count against them.

No, most people want to work and unemployment shouldn't be used to deny healthcare.

Yes, but only if the individual is capable of working without causing further damage to their health

It should be the state's decision.

Yes, recipients should be required to be working or to be actively involved in looking for a job or be enrolled in an educational or job training program.

No, this was done in the UK and it failed disastrously.

Yes, unless they can prove they are physically, mentally or otherwise unable to work.

Yes, unless they can prove they are physically or mentally unable to work.

Yes, if they're able to reasonably and are able to be employed without issue to their health or safety

No, and implement a single payer system.

No, all people deserve free and universal healthcare coverage.

Yes, unless they are disabled and/or elderly.
