Cotton declared that many people on Medicaid should be purchasing their own insurance instead.

“Medicaid is a welfare program,” he said. “It’s primarily designed for the indigent, elderly, the disabled, the blind and children.”

“It’s not designed for able-bodied adults,” Cotton continued. “We want to get those people off of Medicaid, into a job and into market-based insurance.”

They have their lunch bought by lobbyists, get free haircuts. Take "donations" (bribes) and wonder why people are upset. Try getting a job at 56, ass.

she was interviewing, some asswipe from Georgia, when he started spewing about "able-bodied Medicaid recipients". She mentioned that the "able-bodied Medicaid recipients" were the WORKING poor!

Buy. Sell. Buy. Sell. Everything has a price, even life itself. They will never get out of that mindset. Some things are not for sale. Can't be sold and shan't be sold! What is your price for being a jackass. Mr. Cotton?
