The persistent claim is that there are so-called "able-bodied" people on Medicaid, and that this is a mistake (they “should never have been on the program”), or worse, “fraud”.
This is a mischaracterization of the goals of the current Medicaid program

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.
