Michigan's Medicaid Work Requirement Comes With a Racist Twist

13. Looking at it the other way though

Of the unemployed folks that do qualify for the exemption ( 13, 835) , most of them are white, less the Native Americans which number what, 3, 000 maybe?

The point is urban vs rural. The smaller rural counties, which are mostly white, have far fewer employment opportunities than the cities. These areas, like the upper peninsula have been economic wastelands for decades ( I lived in the UP in the 90's). The cities should and do have more job opportunities

And the article talks about public transportation being inadequate to get to work in the cities. It is completely non existent in the country.

And as far as making the exemption by volunteering or community service or going to school, I reckon that is much easier to accomplish in the cities vs out in the woods
