They're targeting the folks in the states that accepted the expansion. They've already made it clear that they're going to be approving section 1115 waivers that include the work requirement.

(the fact that many people aren't able doesn't matter; the work requirement isn't about getting free labor or about making folks feel as though they're earning something, it's about domination games and the humiliation of those who have to ask for help, and then have to prove that they're not able to do [fill in the dismissive description of a 'simple' job of your choice]. being able to harass the disabled is just lagniappe)

Ya know, we got a government shutdown deadline in April. I can't remember if it's the debt ceiling or a CR for the budget, but, can't help wondering how that goes down.

And they're going to have to get something from their doctor as part of the waiver process, and the doctor is going to get so fucking sick of filling out this same form over and over, since that's not why he nearly killed himself to become a doctor in the first place.
