Most Americans Support Work Requirements For Welfare (Op-Ed)
On One Side, Republicans Sought To Enact Work Requirements For Able-Bodied Adults On Medicaid, The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program And The Temporary Assistance For Needy Families. On The Other Side, Democrats And President Joe Biden Adamantly Opposed Any And All Work Requirements For These Programs.
Eventually, The Sides Agreed To A Compromise, By Which Work Requirements Would Be Applied To Those On Snap Up To Age 54 Years Old. But, This Includes Many Loopholes. And, Due To Strong Democratic Opposition, Work Requirements Will Not Be Included For Medicaid Or Tanf.
It Should Be Noted That The Vast Majority Of Americans, 63 Percent To Be Exact, “Strongly Or Somewhat Support Requiring Medicaid Or SNAP Recipients To Show Proof Of Work To Receive Benefits.”
