Their fantasy that millions of "those people" (you know the ones they mean) are freeloading malingerers, or 29 year-olds who could work and they lie continuously about undocumented workers receiving federal aid which they don't because they are not eligible.
The bill requires medicaid recipients to re-document work and eligibility requirements every 6 months and allows states to require it as often as every month.
Since many of these people are poor and have serious chronic illnesses it just pushes them off a cliff. So they end up in the E.R. which cost exponentially more, costs that either shutter rural hospitals or result in pushing costs onto the insured.
