theflyingelvison Admin: Terminally Ill Patients Aren't Exempt from Medicaid Work Requirements

I have what is ostensibly an incurable terminal cancer and i work, by my own choice, 40+ per week. I see no issue with making folks in similar positions show that they are in fact, too sick to work.

If an individual IS too sick to work it should be relatively simple to get the required documents to prove that fact. God know i had enough hospital social workers and doctors asking me if it wanted said documentation.

His one page gossip column in the back of PC Mag was pretty great too.

This news makes me kinda sad.
