The BBB kicks anyone who is single and without kids/with kids over 14 off Medicaid if they don't work at least 80 hours every month of work, absent some really obnoxious paperwork requirements that may or may not have an agency to process them by the time the rule goes into effect.
Cops and other security workers regularly just get to sit around in their trucks playing Candy Crush and racking in overtime up to the six figures.
ICE just got a $175B budget increase in order to swell its ranks with a bunch of unemployed single men who need healthcare.
I'm not saying this is a deliberate policy decision but... it's one hell of a coincidence.
Are we sure ICE agents even get healthcare? They usually look like just random dudes pulled off the street and given a balaclava and a rented van and told to round up brown people. I'll bet they don't get much more than minimum wage and no benefits.
I suspect the $175B isn't going to matter a whole lot in terms of the number of boots on the street. Most of that money is just going to be absorbed by the higher-ups.
