(FGA) finds that an estimated 6.8 million ObamaCare expansion enrollees are
not working at all.

Accountability. Listen as Victoria sheds more light on this issue.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Was that the purpose of Obamacare?
Are people who are not working eligible for Medicaid?
What percentage of people not working receive Medicaid?
Are they required to pay a premium? Or is their medical care completely free –
paid for by the tax payers?
Do many on Obamacare Medicaid also receive food stamps and housing/electricity
allowances? Does this just lock them into a perpetual circle of welfare?
Are there some on waiting lists who cannot physically work but have been denied
Medicaid because others are bleeding the system dry?
Would implementing commonsense work and/or volunteer requirements move
able-bodied adults from welfare to work, ensuring that funds are preserved for the truly needy?
