All these cuts are part of an overall scheme that @marcynorsk summarizes well:

Thank you. I am so incredibly saddened by what we are witnessing. Our naivete is our Achilles heal. So many I have spoken with simply refused to believe it. I have known for several years. I'm a nobody and I knew. Where were those meant to protect us? Complicit?

Four groups:
1. Poorly-educated MAGA, easily manipulated with simplistic lies.
2. Business people who support whichever candidate they think will make them more money.
3. Ultra-wealthy, for whom democracy is an inconvenience.
4. Russian covert ops: Trump family and Russian mafia

The latter two have allied to do in the U.S. exactly what Putin has done in Russia.

Yes. And #3 includes Musk, Thiel, Murdoch, none of them Americans in their hearts. Opportunists who came here to plunder and who lied to get citizenships.

It will also madly overburden ERs again, because that's where people go for healthcare when they lack Medicaid coverage.. It's not like we haven't tried this already! It was such a costly, inhumane disaster that it inspired passage of the ACA and Medicaid expasion.

The only answer is: Expropriate the billionaires.

Essential Services,
Medicaid - very cost effective health services for those who can’t afford expensive healthcare.

Arrest illegals - the people doing illegal firings in Our Government!

Can someone explain to Republicans that getting Putin to stop shooting isn't a win for Ukraine. It's not PEACE.

Putin is out of ammo, he wants to stop shooting.

He gets to reload and the rapist gets the minerals.

Putin will just finish them off later.

Ukraine needs more than that.

Just sayin'

Indeed, when the uninsured use hospitals and emergency rooms, every American will pay the costs!

Protect Medicaid!
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!
