Read the article. It's not about red vs. blue states. It's about expanded Medicaid.
NH is full of Medicaid recipients who voted for Trump. They're about to find out. NH is not blue. There are pockets of liberals, but most are hillbilly red.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

I'm aware blue states will be affected. I never said it was red vs. blue states. I simply pointed out that several red states were at risk of immediately losing Medicaid if the cuts were passed.

buzzkitty.bsky.social•39 days ago

I was just replying that because most had not read the article. It's all about states who expanded Medicaid with federal backing.
We're all losing. 😔💔

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

Indeed, we all lose.

thejazzijen.bsky.social•39 days ago

Is ABC left or right leaning? I can’t tell because they used both ACA & Obamacare when it’s called the ACA. They need to stop calling it Obamacare.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

I'm not sure what "ABC" is. Is it a state Medicaid plan?

thejazzijen.bsky.social•39 days ago

News network. Ik it wasn’t the point of the article but the entire reason some of the assholes voted for Trump because he wanted to disable “Obamacare.” That’s how they manipulated a lot of voters that weren’t maga. 😩

bittiegirldonna.bsky.social•39 days ago

Anthem Blue Cross I think.

3 million people by the guy who said don’t take the vaccine & drink bleach while taking the vaccine & getting best treatment under the auspices & blessings of REPUBLICANS 🐘

jclaudia1.bsky.social•39 days ago

And what happens over time is that more people are swallowed up in losing their care because catch up has to go up hill. Old people will be on phones all day and hospitals and doctors will be on calls for hours to get funding .

jkdanthonyian10.bsky.social•39 days ago

Just a reminder this is the same facist, criminal syndicate that claims to be "pro-life" and "Christian", which the legacy media has allowed them to lie about for decades.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•39 days ago

“Pro-life” republicans want Americans to suffer, bankrupt themselves, and die, so they can buy another mansion in which they barely spend time.

Proving once again, it’s about control and money, nothing more.

I'm on that plan. Can not get my life-saving medication since they screwed the payment system at CMS.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling to get your medications. This whole government takeover/funding freeze is putting people through the wringer.

heartlesscreatures.bsky.social•39 days ago

Tracks with their retirement plan, which is die on the job.

moldyteeth.bsky.social•39 days ago

The only time these Republicans in Congress come to life is to screw people.

natureone.bsky.social•39 days ago

Disgraceful. Shame on these greedy bastards.

mynahleague.bsky.social•39 days ago

6 of the 9 states voted for Trump in 2024. People currently on medicaid, have become used to having basic healthcare access. Take that away, who knows what the angry will do.

momspersistence.bsky.social•39 days ago

All while DJT continues to not only golf but wine, dine and house Republicans at Mar a largo at the tax payer's expense...

chrismontrose.bsky.social•39 days ago

These states affected will finally realize they are not going be protect

chrismontrose.bsky.social•39 days ago

By there elected officials. Their family will suffer and the GOP doesn't care.

baxie71.bsky.social•39 days ago

FAFO stupid Maga.

motleycruising.bsky.social•39 days ago

Touch these entitlements and be ready for the masses to lay waste to this fraudulent administration.

doggiemama.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mostly in red states.

hunkafunk.bsky.social•38 days ago

Heartbreaking. Medicaid saved my wife’s life twenty years ago when she was too sick to work from breast cancer. These monstrous, draconian cuts will enrage a million “Luigis”.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•38 days ago

I hate to see anyone lose coverage or suffer, but here's hoping maybe, just maybe, this will finally break through to the indoctrinated.

transitionalfossil.bsky.social•39 days ago

This is MAGA on MAGA violence.

kaithoward.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm in one of them

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•38 days ago

At least you have a sense of humor. 😆

kaithoward.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thanks! it's from all *the trauma*

augustsym.bsky.social•39 days ago

If they dared to mess with Medicare and especially Social Security things we paid into our entire working lives they will have to flee the country there will be nowhere safe for them to go

kidnurse.bsky.social•39 days ago

And Indiana does a piss poor job of caring for Medicaid recipients already.

freddyvt.bsky.social•39 days ago

I limit how often I share news and info that has his stupid face embedded with the article. If corporate media wants shares and engagement they will need to learn that also.

goaty-goat.bsky.social•39 days ago

So the red states are poised to self-destruct then.

cosmic-snark.bsky.social•38 days ago

You’re evil enough to be a MAGA! Red states have moor poor black and brown folks than blue states, mostly children. They don’t deserve this!

malicityobscuro.bsky.social•39 days ago

Oh goodie. And here I have been taking life saving (for me) SSRIs and other meds, to try and live. Should have saved my time and money.

lmason.bsky.social•39 days ago

Lots of red states, but Illinois isn't red. WTH? How'd we end up on this list? @govpritzker.illinois.gov

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

Right !?! I was wondering the same.

ndhm.bsky.social•39 days ago

And not one wealthy person or corporation needs a frickin' tax cut!!

blueoregonian.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mass murder

rootysmom.bsky.social•38 days ago

People are already losing coverage.

susanlively.bsky.social•39 days ago

If it’s red states then I got no fucks to give. Blue states better gear up and tell the red states to pull up their bootstraps and stop being such a financial drain and welfare people on the backs of the blue states. Redirect there rhetoric back at them.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

It will affect blue states too. Healthcare will be significantly cut for everyone, but not discontinued. The 9 states with trigger laws will END Medicaid expansion and lose Medicaid altogether.

susanlively.bsky.social•39 days ago

I know that it will, but that hopefully will be our saving grace we know all this will hurt so we aren't sideswiped, but they are not prepared.

emmet987.bsky.social•39 days ago

Under President Eisenhower, the tax rate on corporate profits was over 50%. That's what it should be now. MAGA!

House and Senate Democrats need to march over to the federal buildings, lock arms and prevent Musk's team from entering any of the buildings where they do not have an office.

robertdavid.bsky.social•39 days ago

They're pulling all the vital triggers on shotgun barrels that face them. Poking and prodding a sleeping bear. The public is going to burn shit down. They (MAGAs) are going to have to live in bunkers full-time.

embeessem.bsky.social•39 days ago

😭😭🤬

jmcaustin.bsky.social•38 days ago

What about the rest of the states? They wont lose it but it will be affected ?

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

...have trigger laws that would swiftly end their Medicaid expansions if federal funding is cut.

The states at immediate risk are Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. Most are "red" states...

kidnurse.bsky.social•39 days ago

My daughter died three weeks ago, but I was able to keep her home and take care of her for 23 years because of Medicaid programs. I save Medicaid all kinds of money by transporting her to appointments, taking care of her at home to prevent multiple hospitalizations, and acted as her hospice nurse.

kidnurse.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don’t need those programs anymore because she has her wings and the idiots in chief can’t touch her, but as a nurse who has cared for this population for 49 years, I know how kids and families suffer. It is a crime to think about cutting funding, especially when parents are paid caregivers because

kidnurse.bsky.social•39 days ago

They are unable to find healthcare workers to come. So families get fired from their other jobs because there is no one else to care for them. The facilities I know are overcrowded, undertrained, and understaffed.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

So very sorry for your loss, Cheryl.
May your daughter's memory be a blessing.

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•39 days ago

...where residents depend on Medicaid for healthcare.

Cutting Medicaid by nearly one-third over the next 10 years will result in the closure of many rural hospitals, and devastate hardworking families who care for seniors and family members with disabilities.
