Yes, to be clear here, I'm not suggesting taking it away. I'm simply saying get everyone to re-apply for coverage, preferably after their last welfare check.
Suppose I was paid on May 1st for a welfare check. (which will never freaking happen, because I have no desire to ever sponge off this government). With that check would come an application to re-apply, which as I recall requires financial documents, expense sheets, etc.
Unless I filled out the forms, dotted the i's and crossed the t's, I would not receive another check on June 1st. =)
random checks would work just as well,,,,forcing all people to reapply takes away from the majority who need it for the minority who may not
maybe renewing to stay on, is a compromise
but taking it completely away is not reasonable just to ween out the few who may be abusing it
