Republicans are deploying every trick in the book to gut Medicaid while claiming they’re not cutting it.
The CBO estimates the latest GOP plan would kick nearly 9 million people off Medicaid.
Why?
To fund tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit corporations and the rich.

Didn't Steve Bannon say attacking Medicaid would hurt Maga more than anyone else?
This will create endless suffering for millions.

Both parties have abandoned the working class. Which one feigns more concern is debatable.
Those who are too young for Medicare or not poor enough for Medicaid get nothing.
They sustain mediocrity and fundraise off voter anger.
Happy voters don’t donate as much angry ones & big donors don’t want to pay more in taxes for working class people to get nice things.
Not disproportionately benefit... ONLY benefit.
But they failed to tell people they will be kicked off, which would reduce expenses in their eyes.
They do not care about people that are not in their circle.
How to cut Medicaid when you've told your supporters that you won't?
Make announcement on drug prices being reduced bigly to lowest developed country price
You then cut the Medicaid budget to 'account' for a drug price drop - it'll never happen but it'll be someone else's fault when it doesn't

Do we think anyone has had it better than the undeserving wealthy of this country?
