Drug testing has been on the table in the state for years, now Governor Scott Walker wants it to happen. Federal approval is needed for Wisconsin to become the first state in the country to require adults without kids that are capable of working that are applying for health benefits to get tested for drugs. If this goes through it could be a move that the rest of the nation could follow. I am not sure I see a down side to this, the argument in the past has been what about the kids, or that person cannot work because of a pre-existing condition, this proposal takes both of them off the table. The way I read this is if you don’t have kids and you can work, in order to get Medicaid, you must take a drug test. There are plenty of places out there that require drug testing to keep your job, I don’t see why to get a benefit at the cost of the taxpayers, that you would think any differently.
