Lawmakers have defended the bill as simply purging Medicaid of illegal immigrants and ensuring that those who can work are not relying on Medicaid in order to avoid doing so. It’s a wildly inaccurate portrayal of what these reforms will actually do.

Wait until people stop getting Medicaid and discover for themselves that they have been suckered. Sadly it won't become apparent for a couple of years.
I think it should required that every elected official visit their most vulnerable constituents at least annually, and preferably more often, so they know the damage they are doing to those they claim to represent, not at a nursing home or other facility, but in their home and see how they live.
Action is needed within the next 4 months to push to declare the 2024 election illegitimate.
The Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch are working hard to dismantle the Constitution.
That violates their Oaths of Office.
That makes them illegitimate.
I personally argue that Mafia Don is not of the people. His entire family chose to be crooks, which is NOT the majority of the people in the US.
His family remained outliers/outsiders.
Even his wives.
(he only married wife 2 because his mom didn't want a bastard grandchild)
(You can see Tiffany is not at all front & centre in Mafia Don's businesses and profile)
(It's sad, actually, as she'd have to go full on corrupt to fit in)
(Her siblings put on a show, but you can see that they're distant)
Anecdotally, I do have family members who intentionally won't work or earn more than a certain amount so they don't lose Medicaid. I'm not a Healthcare expert but there may be some flaws to iron out.
Are they skilled workers or do they work minimum wage jobs? If they do, even working full time or two jobs, they wouldn’t be able to afford healthcare or pay the out of pocket & deductibles. We need higher wages and universal healthcare. There has to be a better way to fix it.
I also have family on medicaid who live in a very rural area with limited jobs, almost all are minimum wage. No doubt there are people abusing the system, unfortunately republicans aren’t really looking for that.
Red Hat LIED!
I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED I SAY
BUT not as shocked as if they told the truth
Course, they do that, the pact they made with the cult leader [a junior demonette of Hell trying to impress her boss - oh you didn't know? nice makeup eh?] would cause them to burn to stinking ashes
found her
Lucky for them the plurality of US voters no longer much care what is reality & what isn't. All that matters is a US leadership committed to maintaining their extreme sense of entitlement & seeking revenge for all their perceived grievances.
Yeah, the just want a permission structure to be Full Blown Assholes at all times. And the racism & misogyny. Really not complicated. GOP gives it to them.
Always using the scary illegal immigrants to justify harming your own constituents.
Why not purge illegals first and those that can work and cut after if there are savings cost.
Trump & MAGA
want to gut
Medicaid, which
pays over half
of nursing home costs
in the USA.
62% of seniors
utilize Medicare.
Do we dump those
old folks on
the streets?
And you think we
have a homeless
problem now?
You ain't seen
nothing yet.
Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid- maybe they’ll get it to cover an emergency bill rarely but that’s more for a hospital’s coverage.
If you’re a farmer or grower and you have illegals who get hurt where do you send them? Not home. You send them to the local ER. Someone else pays for these employers making money off the backs of people who can’t complain…hint it’s not them it’s us as taxpayers
Most of the single men or single women who are able-bodied workers on Medicaid are addicted to drugs. Are we now saying that alcoholism and drug addiction is not a disease? In our state Medicaid does pay for treatment. We have had success.
That Republicans are lying about the Billionaire Bailout Bill is no surprise. Lying is what they do. That Democrats still have no semblance of an organized resistance is a little surprising. Maybe it shouldn’t be given the incompetence of Congressional Dem leadership…
The Democrats who knew about and warned us about project 2025 but didn’t bother coming up with any sort of counter plan? Yeah, they are not going to help us. They plan on fundraising and doing the same failed thing next election again.
I guess a GOP moderate is someone who pretends to care about people who are not wealthy donors while fully intending to undermine the health and welfare of most Americans.
The GOP is the TRUMPLICKEN PARTY. The REGIME purchased for and solidified by election FRAUD. Lies, lies, lies and on it goes.. Where it stops, who knows....
Puppet is getting so much better at his work. Thank you SCOTUS. Master of FRAUD. 34 FELONIES ADJ. RAPIST and VIOLENT INSURRECTIONIST.ETC.
Evil, evil, evil!!! How about we take away their government funded insurance! After all marge Taylor Green said we shouldn't be paying for federal employees with our tax money, insurance either!!!!!
Actually, charge with fraud all the members of Congress who refuse to provide actual oversight on the Executive Branch & refuse to honour their Oath Of Office, but still collect pay, benefits, and pension increments.
I think that would save a lot of spending that is really fraud, waste and abuse‼️
Seeing this message iterated on NextDoor by “my neighbors.” Encourage people to discredit information there too if they are up to it. Ofc it’s a different forum, but have at least tried to encourage people to “google” things
And yet there are moron democrats in the house and senate still talking about “when the fever breaks”. It’s never going to break and anyone waiting for “moderate republicans” to see the light is nothing but a fascist enabler.
Mikey Johnson and his Cronies just increased the national debt by $2.3 trillion and rescinded health care coverage for 8.6 million people. And gave tax cuts to the poor billionaires.
I’m sorry, but every time I see Lawler, it reminds me of George Russell on The Gilded Age, played by Morgan Spector. Makes me think of a nouveau riche oligarch.
We’re AGAIN dallying with that “GOP Moderates” notion? 🤦🏽♂️
The media-created “Moderate Republican” label is a mythical entity—like a rainbow-farting unicorn. Contemporary Republicanism doesn’t lend itself to moderation; one can’t be “slightly racist”, “bigot-lite”, “tad hateful” or “smidgen corrupt”.
Medicaid paid for therapy and equipment for the children with disabilities in the school district I worked in as a therapist. Equipment like toilet seat adaptations and special keyboards.
but never quantified the “fraud”. they are just plain liars, too lazy to do the real investigate work. it’s just an opportunity to blame their racist targets
That's right. And those lies work.
It's written in a way that unless someone is going to find the full over 1000 page bill and actually read it that has reading comprehension and isn't easily fooled the propaganda wins and the truth loses.

The pain is a delayed pain‼️
It will remain somewhat disconnect to today's actions.
Wait until all those people paying into Social Security discover that it's broken.
Wait until people have significant health problems and learn the ACA has been broken.
And more
He is so proud of the Big Beautiful Bill, and claims it will eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. Such a fucking hypocrite and liar.
Thousands of New Jerseyans and millions of Americans will lose their health care thanks to Tom Kean Jr.

Government is to be of, by, and for the people.

Keep following the orange clown.
I mean, every Republican is a right wing extremist so saying maga Republican implies they’re subset of the overall party membership.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate & clear for low info voters to drop maga to avoid confusion?
He wasn't removed after impeachment, Republicans will NEVER do the right thing. Greed, racism, hate.

It's "The Trophy Wife Bill"
Crime is down and they need it to go up, radically. They need desperate people more desperate. They need hungry people starving.
Only then can they present the false choice of trading freedom for security. Fascism.
But I'll add that the undocumented workers contribute a lot to the Treasury via taxes and SS payments etc.
I saw an economic analysis that demonstrated they are net positive to GDP.

Yes, sarcasm.

When he left office, there was a SURPLUS 💰 in the budget. And they reduced federal spending.

They lie to their constituents.
They lie to themselves.
That’s what they do.
😲 -shock- 😱 -horror-
“Wildly inaccurate…” Say it ain’t so 👀
Never forget that for Republicans in power, always #Cruelty_is_the_policy

Democrats have historically done well when in power, but they are in the minority in Congress
Congressional Republicans are in power right now, and can make change
If you want change, call your Republicans
