Thank you. Medicaid picks up my mom’s care when Medicare doesn’t. I researched that part because I became terrified. Glad I did. It is over 10 year period.
So it slowly kills people … got it! 😮💨 Eventually it will be catastrophic for our healthcare system! States will have to raise the revenue to pay for it. It’s inhumane! All so they can have tax cuts!!
There’s a pretty big difference to a lot of people whether it’s a 10% cut to Medicaid or the entire program being scrapped. Maybe it doesn’t impact you because you aren’t on it, but a lot are.
I’m not here to say that a 10% cut won’t hurt people, but I agree that information should be accurate. 10% cut over 10 years is clearly different than 100% cut in Year 1
The $880 billion was from the Committee on Energy and Commerce over 10 years. DoE alone is $60 billion annually. Therefore it’s not even clear it would necessarily include a 10% to Medicaid.
Really you still think it is ok over 10 years - I guess we can just throw all the old people out of their nursing homes then. You will not see a penny of this money so what is your excuse for thinking this is ok? It doesn’t impact me so who cares????
Some states won’t be able to afford to school children without the DOE, sure there’s probably waste but doesn’t the waste out weigh the necessity of of the DOE, NO, it’s not elonia or the orange clown responsibility it’s the duty of the Congress!!!
It is completely dependent on how stupid the cost cutting will be. If they streamline things in some genius way (cough cough single payer), it isn't completely unreasonable. But they are likely to just stop paying for things as some ghoulish death panel.
The problem is that they already don’t reimburse enough, at least in California. Medi-Cal in California pays much less than Medicaid in states like Arizona and Colorado, even. 10% cut will affect services or payments (prob both) and it’s already overloaded and underpaid.
