Wyden’s “over my dead body” attitude toward the privatization of social security on the senate finance committee is bracing, but I also think he just made a really impactful smart point about how Medicaid cuts mean nursing homes will close in Oregon. that might be a useful data point for some folks

It's the people his age that have brought the party to this low point. It's past time to move on.
Rural southern Oregon will suffer enormously.
Including me and Wife. We work at the same facility. 95% of residents are on MediCaid. We are fucked.
They will be closing because the Medicaid beds will be defunded. And those beds contain people who complied with Medicaid requirements to spend down all their assets on care in order to qualify for those beds. They will be homeless.
This is not convenience, it is necessity.
Multiply this by every household in the us with a family member in a Medicaid paid care facility.
Make tariffs and eggs seem pretty mild by comparison.
"How will you afford the things needed for their care?"
he is SHOUTING
he’s like “this is exactly the scam they’re running and here’s how he’ll do it and here’s why their promises they won’t hurt anyone are lies”
so far they’re both on Medicaid and it’s like “hi here are all the services without which my kid will die”
he’s so good at this
he’s having real, practical conversations with people
Healthcare is a human right!
Flip the House Blue ASAP!
Two upcoming special elections in FL-1 & FL-6 on April 1 can create deadlock with 50-50 party split in House. Third special election in NY-21 can Flip the House Blue!
