To justify Medicaid cuts, House Speaker Mike Johnson says the healthcare program leads to "able-bodied young men" playing videogames instead of working.
Why is this specific to men? Are women not able to take advantage of these same programs? Are men having job placement issues where women are not?

Ah, then the “free” healthcare is the healthcare they get because their parents pay for it. Covering kids is far from free. But it taps in to any rage parents may feel having to cover their kids even if they always argue with their kids. A lie that his base is happy to hear.

The only places where men are at low participation in the workforce is 16-19. He wants more children working.
Yes, working instead of going to college.
