Without much effort beyond travelling, they could go from living in the corrupt and poverty conditions of their home countries to living like royalty &#8220;just for existing&#8221;. The Trump administration is about to remove that as an incentive. Illegal aliens are set to lose access to assistance programs intended for Americans who truly need to benefit from these programs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This bill protects Medicaid&#8230; for those who truly deserve this program, the needy, pregnant women, children and sick Americans who physically cannot work. It ensures that able-bodied Americans who can work 20 hours a week are actually doing so, and that will therefore strengthen and protect those benefits for Americans who need it,&#8221; Leavitt told reporters during a White House briefing last month.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt added that the measure will address &#8220;waste, fraud and abuse&#8221; and remove approximately 1.4 million illegal immigrants from the program.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is perfectly reasonable for taxpayers who are paying into the Medicaid program to insist that everyone in the program who can contribute do so, by working,&#8221; Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, previously told FOX Business.<\/p>\n<p>The bill asks Medicaid members who are able-bodied, prime-age adults without children to work or volunteer roughly 20 hours a week.<\/p>\n<p>Nina Schaefer, the director of the Center for Health and Welfare Policy at the Heritage Foundation, described the Medicaid provisions as &#8220;common sense administrative changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Medicaid program is over 60 years old and has been running on autopilot for far too long. These changes begin to bring much needed oversight, transparency, and accountability to the program,&#8221; Schaefer said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Macias, A., &amp; Colton, E.
