Source: Governing
Ohioans who are covered by the expansion of Medicaid will soon have to get a job, go to school or get an exemption.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services gave Ohio approval Friday to impose work requirements for those covered by Medicaid expansion.

I live in central Pa. and I hear it all the time. I hear about how Democrats buy steak with food stamps. I point out to them that yes, I see a lot of people buying steaks with food stamps at our local meat market. I point out that some of them have MAGA hats on, and the ones who I can't identify I point out that the people in our area voted for Trump 80% - 20%.
