I hope people realize that SNAP and Medicaid cuts are also the test balloons for Social Security, Medicare, ACA, and VA cuts. If the Republicans get those through, they will go after the next four next.

They don't realize, when Medicaid is cut, the health care system collapses. Mass closure of hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing homes, and the like. All going to be gone.
right, but then that will rebound to the hospitals in the city, as they will get more and more people going to ER who won't be able to pay, leading to many of them collapsing as well
They are already cutting at the VA. Maybe not benefits yet but people and programs.
Killing Medicaid is a bigger deal than you think. We won't have to wait for them to move onto Medicare.. killing medical coverage nearly 25% of the country will be more than enough to kill the healthcare system
I thought this was a provision of the ACA when it was 1st passed. When did congress decide they needed better healthcare than the people who pay their salary?
It was, and that part of the law is still active. All members of congress can only get healthcare through ACA unless they get something through their spouse or buy private insurance on their own. But lots of people believe the Facebook posts and memes claiming otherwise
It also just plain holds up our hospitals, esp in rural areas. And 40%+ of US births are on Medicaid. You wanna combine that cut with abortion bans? It’s very bleak.
