This only applies to welfare programs, of course. There is no way regulatory paperwork could be a problem for business and employees.
Glad to hear it! Make it so hard, these parasites will need to find a job!
People who pay for their own healthcare are “drowning in paperwork” too. I don’t see why those applying for free healthcare shouldn’t have to fill out paperwork also.
It has been my experience that the government NEVER throws reams and reams of forms at people wishing to benefit from their largesse. Why most of the time you have to fight them off. This disdain for paperwork can be seen in any IRS publication. “Simplify, simplify, simplify” is their watchword.
O.k. back to reality. Too much paperwork? I think the author means too much paperwork that they could not fudge. I’ve known people who have foregone help they were borderline eligible for because they did not want to deal with the volume and the intrusion involved. They figured out they would manage somehow else instead. If they had been truly without other options they would have filled out whatever forms were thrown their way.
So my conclusion is that these people who decided not to enroll found other options. They are not out there dying in droves on the lawns of the callous rich.
You win the thread.
Medicaid is a gift. The least one can do to receive a massive gift that saves a person thousands of dollars a year in premiums is to get off their dead asses and ask for it. Also prove they meet the requirements.
Paperwork? What be dat!!
Tough luck! Tell the bums to get a job!
Of course the New York Times likes hate paperwork. They’re haters.
