On Monday, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan submitted two new amendments to the American Health Care Act, the monstrosity that intends to tear apart the Affordable Care Act, defund Planned Parenthood, and dismantle insurance coverage for abortions.

These amendments, parts of which are "substantive changes," Vox reports, "show a clear rightward shift in the Obamacare replacement plan, including harsher cuts to Medicaid."

And what do those cuts include?

"The worst provision in the manager’s amendment is a Medicaid work requirement that would allow states to revoke Medicaid coverage from new mothers who haven’t found a job within two months after giving birth," Slate reports.

Yes, you read that right. Sixty days. Most new mothers don't even have a semi-regular sleep schedule down by then and the Trump administration expects them to have found a job after pushing a human out of their body? Christ.

Here's Slate again, emphasis mine:

Medicaid currently offers essential resources for low-income women and their children, including screenings for postpartum depression, in-home educational visits, and check-ups, all of which help babies survive and mothers thrive. Forcing women to job hunt in the weeks immediately following her baby’s delivery—a crucial period for infant care and physical recovery—would be both shockingly cruel and counterproductive as public health policy. Even if Republicans don’t believe that every person deserves basic health care, regardless of income, they should recognize that the government has an interest in keeping children healthy. Healthy children become good students, responsible citizens, and productive workers. Cutting off health benefits from a mother in the first several weeks of her infant’s life sets both the mother and the infant up for a cascading set of impediments to physical and financial health.

I guess motherhood just wasn't difficult enough.
