Some 'progressives': It's regressive for you to give the worst off an option that would let them get out from the trap of conditional and means-tested programs, unless you make them work in government programs for it.

For example, some 'progressives' think that 'conditions' like $2k limit in assets or 'means testing' like 50% clawback or removing benefits if ppl marry is not a trap, then making things up as if ppl say that the 'benefit' itself is the trap. https://twitter.com/s3thene/status/1338305141028614146

Progressive is supporting eradicating means testing and conditions to guarantee the benefits as a basic right.
Some people who will then qualify will benefit more than others that currently qualify, and that's fine.
Trapping people with conditions and means testing is regressive.

Health care and sufficient income to live must be guaranteed as a right, not designed to punish when ppl make more money (clawback), marry (losing benefit because you get married), etc.
Erasing clawback will benefit some ppl who currently make a bit more money and that's fine.
