Hire a clown, expect a circus. 92% of Medicaid recipients are already working. Brooke Rollins wants them to take on a second job.

 
Headline:  The National Memo, 7/9/2025

Emily Singer reports:
"We move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which again with 34 million people, able-bodied on Medicaid, we should be able to do fairly quickly," Rollins said Tuesday at a news conference at the Department of Agriculture. 
Of course, millions of people who will lose their Medicaid coverage are working, and thus don't need jobs in fields picking crops. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 92% of Medicaid recipients work. The other 8% are either “retired, unable to find work, or were not working for another reason,” KFF said. Hard to see how retirees could do the hard labor of harvesting crops in hot fields. 
What's more, there are not enough jobless Americans to fill the thousands of back-breaking jobs farmers are losing thanks to Trump's cruel immigration raids. [emphasis added]
