In Arkansas the last quarter.  It’s Medicaid enrollment shrank leaving the benefit for those that really need it.  This is how you close the federal budget deficit.  Easily a couple hundred billion would be saved!

He’s not sure what he means.  TDS does that.  Or, was he dumb before Trump?  I suspect so.

Medicaid Arkansas: 4,100 More People Dropped Over New Work Rule, ABC News

Arkansas has nearly doubled the number of people removed from its expanded Medicaid program for not meeting a new work requirement, state officials said Monday, with more than 4,100 losing their health insurance under the restriction that's the focus of a federal lawsuit. The figures released by the state Department of Human Services show another 4,800 people will lose coverage if they don't meet the work requirement by the end of this month. 

Arkansas' rule, which was implemented earlier this year, requires some beneficiaries to work 80 hours a month. Those beneficiaries lose coverage if they don't meet the requirement for three months in a calendar year. The state last month announced more than 4,300 people lost coverage because of the requirement. More than 76,000 people on the program were subject to the requirement. 

Arkansas was the first state to implement a Medicaid work requirement after the Trump administration said it would allow states to require participants to work to keep coverage. Kentucky was the first state to win approval for a work requirement, but a federal judge blocked the state from enforcing it. A similar challenge over Arkansas' requirement is pending before the same judge. 

>"This is an absolute train wreck, and it is a slow-moving train wreck that the state can stop at any time," said Sam Brooke, deputy legal counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of three groups that had sued Arkansas over the mandate. "Unfortunately, these numbers are exactly what we and everyone who was looking at this predicted would happen if this went into effect." 

The 80-hour work requirement only applies to the state's Medicaid expansion, which uses federal and state funds to purchase private insurance for low-income residents, and not the traditional Medicaid program. More than 250,000 people are on the state's Medicaid expansion. -MORE,

Pretty fucking pathetic when these leeches can't work 20hrs a week for 3 calendar months a year.

Sad thing is some really need the help, while others have made living of the gov’t tit a way of life. If these rules can clean up the abuse I’m all for it.

Yep but if you dare to want to root out the abusers you now don't care about the poor and minorities.  Another shameful tactic used by the democraps.   They use this as a racial divide and its disgusting.
