Republican Proposed Work Requirements Called Racist, Harmful by Critics

Republican budget proposals would cut funding and require work for programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF which advocates say would disproportionately harm minority and poor communities.
low-income Americans could lose health insurance if Republican proposed work requirements for Medicaid are approved.
Research shows work requirements do not achieve stated goals of increasing employment or self-sufficiency and instead mostly result in loss of benefits.
The economic impact of expanded work requirements could cost states over $100 billion in lost Medicaid funding over 10 years.
While pushing for stricter work requirements, Republicans have threatened default on debt but moderates from both parties are needed to reach a deal to avoid default.
