Folks blame government, but: "new work requirements for Medicaid highlight the profits to be made from adding complexity to the safety net. Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants & administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
Corporations are extracting billions from America’s safety net and their payday is about to be supercharged by new rules.
I lay out how programs like Medicaid have become vulnerable to corporate capture and what we need to build to stop it.

As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SNAP last year, Equifax’s CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation.

We need to flood the Senate with calls demanding Democrats hold the line and vote NO on giving more money to the regime’s death squads.
