Austin Scott previews how House Rs plan to cut Medicaid: "The federal govt is paying 90% of the Medicaid expansion. What we've talked about is moving that 90% level of the expansion back... nobody would be kicked off Medicaid as long as governors decided they wanted to continue to fund the program"

These cowardly ghouls.
If any states legislate to make up the difference, it will be blue states.
There's no way in hell my red governor signs any increase to make up for reduced federal funding for ANYTHING.
Despicable.
When Dems get power, eliminate private insurance for health care. Health care is a right, not a for profit ponzi scheme.
I can’t wait for Adolph Abbott to chime in
Check out this article from The Columbus Dispatch:
Gov. Mike DeWine on potential Medicaid cuts: 'We don't know what the federal government is going to do'

Who am I kidding, it'll be a race to the bottom...

They should love it right?
States and charities will not want to fund tax cuts for the oligarchs.
I can hear the midterm arguments now and it’s bullshit
This is an act of cruelty & control.
It has nothing to do with money.

Will they fear a Trump primary more than their own constituents? I think they will vote party lines and their people will accept the hit as a badge of patriotism.
Remember, every day is Opposite Day in TrumpWorld.

There’s no way Huckleberry the Evil Trad Wife would agree to doubling or more of our state’s Healthcare bill.

Are you bad at math?
Fed doesn’t provide services states don’t send state funds.
It's a scam
Make no mistake - this would still be House R's gutting Medicaid
In blue states, where govs will try to bridge the gap, state taxes will rise. In red states, poor people will...die.
So, half the poor get screwed and half the middle class gets screwed...but hey, the rich get their tax breaks. Got it.

Federal revenues come from state businesses and individuals. It’s our money! Why shouldn’t we get to use it?
You don’t profit off family, you care for it. Dave loses his job, so Fred gives him gas money. Betty breaks her ankle, so Tim mows her lawn for her, etc.
Community is key

They’re making the rules now, and there is no longer anyone else in the room.
Let the political suicide commence!
Solution - blue states KEEP ALL OUR money.
Sorry red states, you elected the thieves.
Why keep the federal govt at all? Let’s just be free independent states and run our own shit entirely.
es
How to rob.
Severe stupidity.
Big difference.
How quickly the red will fall and beg for help.
Yes I’d feel bad for those blue dots.
However, each senator and house representative should be paid based on their states/districts tax dollars collected.
There are also plenty of wealthy while people who can pick up the financial slack.
Citation needed.
Turns out they use hospitals and roads too.
It might even boost pour black voter turnout.
I thought conservatives hated those.
don’t give Governors enough money to fund Medicare
And then blame the Governors for cutting Medicaid
Clever
Evil & Devious
But Clever

They're cutting services
Keeping the tax $$$
And we'll get state tax increases to fund them
For what? Tax cuts for the rich.
This is on the vile House GOP and the billionaires.
Sadly Alabama doesn't have the money to pay for it themselves.
