“Millions” of people will lose health insurance if Republicans push these plans through.
Republicans are quietly pushing to slash Medicaid to fund Donald Trump’s tax cuts and immigration spending.
The effort has been subtle and behind the scenes, and disguised as a way to eliminate Medicaid fraud and protect the program’s most vulnerable recipients.
But several Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, are desperately trying to revive a yearslong fight to eliminate the expanded Medicaid eligibility requirements included in Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which gives millions of low-income adults health coverage.
When people and their loved ones are dying cause they have no access to healthcare, these same people are gonna start shooting those they think are responsible.
Nothing more dangerous than someone with nothing to lose.
Fuck around you maggots and find out.
Not true. We’ve been losing people because of expensive healthcare for as long as I can remember, and so far only one insurance CEO has been capped.
And of course this would be a massive harm to their own voters, because Medicaid expansion has been the only thing keeping most rural community hospitals afloat for a long time. If they cut it, then it’s likely that many small towns are going to lose their only medical providers within a hour’s drive or more.
Thus continuing the work COVID started and further reducing the voting bloc the right relies on to get elected… right?
Alas, I think they found a new one in nihilistic young men who want to burn it all down.
The Red States will lose their healthcare and find a way to blame Joe Biden.
They won’t blame Biden. They’ll blame Obama because he’s black
Someone made photos of Donald Trump being a hero on 9/11.
I happen to have been working in lower Manhattan at that time. During the recovery efforts, there were some restaurants and hotels that gave free food and/or lodging to the volunteers working at Ground Zero. No Trump property gave anyone so much as a bowl of soup.
