Georgia must decide soon whether to try to extend a limited Medicaid expansion that requires participants to work. Enrollment fell far short of goals in the first year, and the state isn’t yet able to verify participants are working.
And we already have a mechanism to claw back benefits from those that truly shouldn’t have them: taxes. Taylor Swift wants food stamps? Cool. Hook her up and then tax that back at the end of the year. It’s fairly simple.
Means-testing any program is more expensive than not means-testing it. Change my mind.

Sure, but if we don’t means test these things, how can we hurt the “right” (poor/minorities) people? /s
What’s with the “/s”? That’s literally the real reason.
Because I’m being sarcastic. I’m not actually advocating for shitting on poor people, I’m not Republican.
