MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.

They even own the “Advantage Plans” that combine some Medicare & Medicaid services.
I suspect some of them will be making back room deals for “exceptions” for their states.
As far as Medicaid is concerned the primary fraud, waste and abuse being perpetrated is by the pharmaceutical companies and vendors charging an arm and a leg for everything
When Medicaid funded skilled nursing facilities close, what happens to the patients.
The brainwashed GOP will have a hard time explaining away the needless suffering of seniors and disabled adults that they caused.

"WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE!"
People will die because of their greed. Many of the folks who use Mcaid are from red states. I wonder how angry their constituents will be?
Hand off capitalism yah know? More Cowbell!
They’ll hide and let the tidal wave pass over them.
You should see the waste that happens in the private sector! tens of millions for executives? Wasteful. Advertising? Wasteful. Doctors having staff just to deal with insurance? Wasteful.
Yep, it's the WFA drinking game, home edition.
Let's GOOOO!!!
Now they are going to fuck around and find out. What we need to do is force them to EAT the whole goddamn can of worms they opened. Stand back and smile.
We have a "Wealthcare System". Look up Sen Rick Scott and Medicare Fraud!!!
Why "IF"?
The GOP has been open and honest about wanting to fully privatize health care for DECADES.
"IF"🙄
JFC, it's a matter of 👏'how soon 👏will they destroy ACA/Medicaid/etc.', not "IF".
🤦♀️
They have no idea of the implications of their cuts.
Trump take egg.
Trump take healthcare.
How much taxpayer money could we save if we stopped paying your and your staff's salaries?
