' As HuffPost notes: As part of their debt limit bill, which the House approved on a party-line vote last month, Republicans proposed a new limit on Medicaid benefits for unemployed adults without dependents, as well as expanding existing 'work requirements' for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
