Republicans want to make it as hard as possible for anyone to get Medicaid or anything else, because it gripes their withered, wizened little souls to see anyone get ANY kind of help EVER! They begrudge every penny of support that any individual ever gets from Medicaid, SNAP, or any other government program. Even things people earned, like VA benefits, Medicare, and Social Security. Those miserly scrooges would choke every bit of it off, if they could get away with it!

I find it impossible to comprehend such a profound level of stinginess. I'm happy to have my tax money spent to HELP people.
