8. A work requirement is just a cynical way to deny benefits.

The rules will be created so as to make it ridiculously hard to show you are employed or actively seeking employment and will cause people to simply give up.

I have a brother who is almost illiterate (never graduated high school) and works as a handyman taking odd jobs. It will be really hard for him to prove he's employed. He is too young for Medicare and too old to get a traditional job that generates a pay stub. The ACA gave him the first health insurance he had his entire adult life.
