GOP front-liners shouldn't sweat Medicaid work requirements

Centrist Republicans are said to be worried that the reconciliation bill’s proposed cuts to Medicaid spending will leave them vulnerable to Democratic attacks. They are right to be concerned, but they can rest more easily if only they realize that they, not the Democrats, hold the moral high ground on this issue.

That conclusion might strike some readers as strange. It’s well established that swing voters do not like to see people lose their health insurance, even if doing so would save taxpayers money.
