Daniel Ahlers on Welfare & Poverty

	Daniel Ahlers on Welfare & Poverty

Don't penalize poor people trying to improve their situation

If we want less reliance on these programs, we must reform the programs so people can work their way off assistance. Programs like SNAP and Medicaid use a poverty chart to determine whether or not you qualify for services. If you make $1 over, you lose your benefits. No parent should have to choose between bettering their economic situation and healthcare for their children. We need social programs that work on a step scale, so as you make more, you contribute more. Source: 2020 South Dakota Senate campaign website DanAhlers.com , Apr 27, 2020
