    Of the 34 million “able bodied” on medicaid (anyone aged 19-64 is included AFAIK), 2/3 of them already have jobs. The remainder generally have a qualification to be on medicaid, such as disability or being a caretaker.

    But even if there are a million people that are just playing CoD and stealing our tax money to enjoy basic healthcare, how are we supposed to get them to the fields? Is the government providing a job seeking program, helping with transport, training, and housing for those who want these jobs? Or are they just supposed to teleport to Ventura County and automatically know everything about how to work on a farm? Not to mention that if your body isn’t used to this grueling work, you will be to pained after your first day to possibly show up for your second.
