I have two neighbors both on Medicaid because they are both handicapped individuals, both voted for Trump. We told them they choose. I feel bad for the many children that will be hurt by this idiotic move.
When folks have to start caring for grandparents with dementia (and they have no idea what they’re in for so spare me the they should anyways talk) they will have a rude awakening on out of pocket costs for healthcare and care home facility.
They have no idea how to manage a loved one with dementia (particularly if there are additional medical issues). There's a reason we have licenses & certifications.
Are there any details on how this will affect seniors in nursing homes? More than half are covered by Medicaid. They can't meet work requirements. Will they be dumped on the street?
Reagan had no problem putting the mentally ill on the streets. Why would these people care about the elderly? They just told the whole country they only care about the wealthy.
Not too sure but it would seem that if any nursing home stops receiving federal funding it could force them to shut down. This would mean people would (if they can) taking family members home to try caring for them (no way this will work). In case of emergency there is EMTALA.
A huge number of non voters think Biden enacted abortion restrictions, don’t know what the Supreme Court is and read at 5th grade level or below. Why do you think Republicans keep attacking education?
I've been saying it all along. Rethuglicans want an entire class of people who need to work for them in menial labor jobs. And guess what? No immigrants to do it for all those gullible poor white rubes that voted for Dump.
You are not alone... I am so afraid that I am going to die. It's not going to matter at some point. That's when the rubber meets the road. I need my medicine or I die. They hate the poor. I wrote a poem and ai turned it into a song. I write poetry to keep depression at bay. https://youtu.be/LKPNDE-MwF4?si=8ORQeGS73n-cHn9m
It’s not an inconvenience to have poor people die, it’s the plan. To them, eugenics is a success story. The thing they aren’t saying out loud is sick and disabled people living is the inconvenience.
Medicaid pays a large portion of nursing home costs for the elderly. SNF already has many, many issues with the care of residents. This sure as heck ain't gonna help.
What they’re doing is cruel and unusual punishment, psychological warfare, and they are obviously a threat to themselves and others. Surely with those truths alone someone can fucking do SOMETHING to make this fucking torture stop.
They’re literally conspiring premeditated murder en masse. WTF?!🤬
I don't know, maybe the Biden Administration should have protected democracy and held Congressional Republican traitors responsible. Just spit-balling... fucking abject institutional failure. Unforgivable.
True, but way too many Democrats only want to throw flowers at their failed politicians instead of demanding they live up to the ideals they purport to believe in.
My grandmother is in a state nursing facility on Medicaid. They can’t just kick people out, right? They don’t have anything. That’s why they are there & on Medicaid.
Typically no but we are living in a different world right now. If a facility closes they usually work to find placement but these closers if it happens will be because of no payment so who is going to take on someone that can’t pay (that will be the problem) staff will leave if no money to pay them
Exactly. I was just laid off - between my state's budget battle & this they aren't able to meet payroll. We are 92% Medicaid residents. These facilities are going to close and who will care for our elderly? Families are not even remotely equipped to provide a safe & comfortable quality of life.
That would be correct, we have two nursing homes in our community. The other facility has over a hundred long term care residents, most of them on Medicaid. The frustrating thing is this community has a high number of MAGA, they are so clueless
It's not going to be great for alot of people not on Medicaid. There are a long line of people who are employed in taking care of people on Medicaid. Hospitals and nursing homes will be hard hit.
They’re coming for Medicare too. It’s already started. Piece by piece. It’s all going. Get rid of old, sick and poor people. Let ’em just die off.They’re a burden to the oligarchy. The country belongs to the young, healthy and rich.
Plus family members of people on Medicaid who will have to quit their jobs to care for their disabled relative when their Medicaid-paid care is taken away.
There are also people employed in adult placement centers, home care, and transportation companies. People don't realize how FAR REACHING this would be.
That, and they want anyone who's not in perfect health dead because they're considered a burden to society by people who think the only acceptable human beings are those just like them.
Trump was kicking himself that he didn't "get to" shoot any protestors last time and he's not going to make that mistake again. I agree with you. He positively can't wait to call in the National Guard to shoot some liberals. He gets off to it.
Basically they've gained control of our government and our military and are poised to turn it against us for cultural eradication of anyone who does not comply with fascism.
I say we send them straight to hell when they come.
They are disgusting malignant narcissists.. evil to the core.
basically. I'm sure they want to hear from you, otherwise it might be awhile before they find the problems.
Many good things will be wisely running under the radar.
What they see is not what they get.
Yep. There is total disconnect. They didn't even know about the vote or the gold cards or half of what has been going on. Willfully ignorant all of them.
This is right, they want to be able to declare martial law, pour blood on the streets, martial law becomes indefinite and no more elections, this way they can change the entire system and do want they want until it is unrecognizable and cannot be fixed and we just submit.
Yeah it’s bad, once martial law is declared, any elections go on hold. These guys know if they lose power, they will be court marshaled and charged, they know they have passed the point of no return, so now they have to hold power no matter the cost
Not just ppl losing medical coverage. This absolutely will close hospitals in rural areas, cause ER units to become crowded again, destabilize lives and health outcomes, impact families who have elderly, which is huge considering Boomers.
Thank you, sooooo very much, too all the people who "couldn't, in good conscience" vote for Kamala because of whatever made up, bullshit reason you gave yourself. I hope you can never look at yourself in the mirror again without picturing the faces of everyone deviated by what is and will happen.
The consequences have already begun. My elderly friends are so scared they’re getting ill. I’m so worried about my 11 y/o daughter I’m grouchy and short with her. When the cuts actually take effect people will be so low it will be too late.
I am already ill with chronic stress. I know my daughter will die without Medicaid. As her guardian, I must find or give her care. I am too sick. If I try, I will die. If I try to save myself, my child will suffer greatly before death and then I will be charged with neglect.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I don’t know if you are connected with any resources where you live, but you can call 211 if not. I know that’s not much. I wish I could do more. I wish people cared about other people.

Welcome to Trump Gaza, where American taxpayers bankroll the clearing of Palestinians and cleaned up for Trump’s next gilded empire. Guess that’s why they’re gutting Medicaid and other safety nets, someone’s gotta pay the price for his vanity, and it sure won’t be him.
He said this will be the golden age of america - he means for his billionaire buddies, himself and his giant gold statues. All on the backs of our most vulnerable poor and working middle class. Reprehensible
Since there won't be any more elections, it doesn't matter to the Republicans if their constituents are upset about the Medicaid cuts. They can't be voted out.
Lots of people think they don’t have Medicaid because it isn’t called Medicaid in their state.
Here in Washington it is Apple Health.
California: Medi-Cal
Colorado: Health First Colorado
Connecticut: HuskyHealth
And I read an article where dozens of people in Kentucky were interviewed about this and ALL of them said there is no way he would do this to them. Karma AND FAFO. Maybe this will start to move the needle.
Yes. In Washington several insurance companies help people sign up for MediCaid/Apple Health through their company. WellPoint and Humana have Apple Health offerings too.
People don’t think their insurance is Medicaid but it very well could be!
I was looking it up when I read your post! Thanks for the info. Here is an additional list of the states that refer to their Medicaid program by another name! Chilling that this could be a huge shock to a lot of people: https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/state-medicaid-resources/
And so many of them voted for Donald Trump. I asked one of them at the time, someone I considered a friend til she voted for him, you are completely dependent on Medicaid, Sec. 8, aren't you afraid they'll do what they say they're gonna do?
This will hurt the most vulnerable people - the young, the old, and the disabled.
And it will throw even more people out of work. Think of the employees of nursing homes, hospitals, group homes and agencies who are funded by Medicaid.
All this for yet another tax break for billionaires. Sad!
Medicare will only cover up to 100 days in a facility. After that it is out of pocket or out on the streets. Only Medicaid covers long term care for the elderly.
And they chose Medicaid instead of Medicare because the elderly have a large amount of power as a reliable voting block… they think the working class and poverty class people won’t vote them out…
#wtf Don’t accept this. We ALL deserve better. Billionaires don’t need better! WE DO! Take our govt back! No more tax cuts to the wealthy. They are taking the dream away from us and it’s CORRUPT TO THE CORE. Join the fight

The republicans are undoubtely thinking that this will force women to quit their job and stay home to nurse their and their spouses elderly parents, so the husband can be the sole breadwinner like in biblical times.
Punching down ✊ is the favorite sport in the USA. The working class punches down on the poors.The wealthy think they are the best and have been promoting it for years and years.
I agree with you, I'm Australian and I lived in the US for many years, Americans are generally very complacent, I would have predicted they would do nothing, huge amounts of people don't even go out and vote.
I think it's because of the system, they feel their voice and vote doesn't count.
Unless you have seen it happen to someone, it’s hard to believe how quickly you can go from solid financially to nothing left in your name, needing Medicaid in the US. And illness is an equal opportunity thief. There are about to be some previously wealthy, newly destitute and angry sick people.
And since illness and injury strike all of us without regard to our wealth or connections, it is worth reminding people like Mike Johnson that even if they have resources to pay for medical care, it does not mean they will have high-quality from people harmed by their political actions.
Not only the recipients, but also the hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmaceutical industry, and anyone connected directly and indirectly with the medical industry. Small communities will lose hospitals & nursing homes and physicians will leave. It will be devastating.
People need to be reminded what happened in red states when they didn’t roll out the Medicaid expansion.
Memories are short on this.
And now it will happen again.
The rapist/felon is cutting the life line for the poorest Americans. The same ones who voted for him in the red states like mine, Okla.
They are entering the Find Out part of Fuck Around. It’s their fault. The rapist/felon cheated his way into the Oval. Now he is going to burn his lemmings.
Instead of enjoying the moment, the Democrats should see this as an opportunity to persuade the less fanatic fraction of the magas to switch to the camp that defends their VITAL ASPIRATIONS instead of showering them with emotional agitation that pays no bill.
I know people who are federal employees, and Trump voters who got laid off. They 100% blame liberals for this.
There’s no magical messaging Democrats are gonna be able to do to reach across the aisle to these people, like drug addicts they have to hit rock bottom.
Sadly I agree. The problem is Facebook and Fox news. If someone wants to persuade a cultist, first they have to figure out how to break through the messaging they're choosing.
Indeed. The Democrats need to craft a message that brings the magas to look in the direction of their VITAL ASPIRATIONS that are being trampled by those who shower them with emotional agitaton that doesn't help them pay none of the bills that are piling up on their desk/dining room/kitchen counter.
It's not just that. Trying to explain and de-Trump takes time, and due to social media socialization, people's attention spans no longer last more than 30 seconds. If you can't provide info in the time it takes to air a commercial, forget it.
They don't 100% blame liberals. Haven't you been reading their emails to the editors and to the orange fuck himself? "Please Mr. Trump, I voted for you, then you took MY JOB away from me!" Sounds like they put the blame squarely where it belongs.
Yes but the problem is I'm not willing to suffer for those motherfuckers.
I would rather have a war and kill as many of these oligarch fucking pieces of shit and their goons as possible than to suffer based on their entirely engineered false narratives.
Indeed. We cam only show them the way. Let's do that. It's up to them to follow it. Many of them will as the rubber is meeting the road and it's getting personal.
Think bigger .. they’re not talking about any more pandemics .. we no longer have usad to prevent diseases etc from coming here or monitoring them .. now we won’t have health care .. like we thought alot or people died from covid .. my fear is that will be nothing .. rich people hate living with
Yes to the little homeless student that has been living with us since October- she has already been turned away from her dentist due to medicaid issues.
Which is exactly what they want. I’m gonna guarantee you most of these cuts, they’re gonna figure out a way to target them to liberal enclaves and minorities.
My multiply disabled adult child is on a Medicaid waiver program that pays for:
- food
- housing
- medication management
- adult daycare
- oversight of quality of care & services
- staff nurse
- transportation to appts
- food prep
- bathing, changing diapers
- much more
She will die w/o it.
Pretty much everyone on kidney dialysis has Medicaid. Most long term nursing homes the same. Children. I'm so depressed. I'm seeing so many homeless people again. They don't have a chance. These people are truly selfish & cruel. They make the world so ugly.
Yes, people that pay taxes every damn day in one form or another all their lives and expect something in return, but are now losing their benefits because some are ignorant assholes think everyone else is taking advantage of them. Self-centered yahoos!
If you agree, please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Hey, I was just minding my business, then you happened. Now, here I am, sending this message, hoping to uncover the kind of conversation that makes time disappear. So, tell me—should I prepare for laughter, deep talks, or a little bit of both?
Anyone wonder why all the fascist Republican pigs in Congress are not worried about getting re-elected? Why they can do whatever they want and not give a flying fuck how it hurts their constituents? That's right, you got it. THERE AIN'T NO MORE ELECTIONS. Waiting for the revolution to start. NOW.
Well now we know so we do better. We give ourselves Grace, always. We were lied to and were pawns for a long time. We the people didn't deserve this. This is our Land we live it we work it. Those billionaires wouldn't know what to do in a day of any of our lives.
Medicaid and SNAP has been put on the chopping block by Republican Congress. Bending the knees, kissing the ass of a phony king and his jester. I hope food banks are prepared.
Since there won't be any more elections, it doesn't matter to the Republicans if their constituents are upset about the Medicaid cuts. They can't be voted out.
"In the novel 'The Dead Zone' Stephen King makes a sideways argument that what ultimately holds dark futures at bay are not superpowers or rifle-toting assassins or even photographs, but the everyday courage and morality of everyday people."
This should be the part where I say, ”Hey, we’re gonna be okay, somehow…"
I don’t feel that way currently.
I’ll manifest for you, Crystal. For all of us. That’s all I got, and a finger to dial my representatives all day long. I got a lot of that too.
Curtis Yarvin, guru to the billionaire tech bros, such as Peter Thiel, said that the unproductive people should be ground into biodiesel. Vance is also a follower.
my maga parents want me and my son to move home with them. i was planning to but if they cut medicaid i won’t be able to afford health insurance back home i’ll have to stay at my current job that provides insurance. i told them that and somehow it’s my fault.
Elon will profit on the destruction of our democracy and government even though he was NEVER ELECTED BY ANY ONE.Trump sold The US TO AVOID LIFE IN PRISON. And now an immigrant is running our country. FUCK YOU MAGAts.
Unfortunately, I hope it’s disastrous crap like this that wakes people up to stop playing red vs blue and to unite as American to combat the BS happening within our government and the lack of governing for the people. ALL THE PEOPLE.
I cannot understand how those Republicans can sleep at night. Not only the conservative politicians (who promised to help the very people from whom they are robbing the Medicaid), but, also, the morbidly wealthy conservatives who know they are receiving blood money and may be
My ancestors came here before the American Revolution ... all except my Irish, who arrived during the Famine. They bought land from William Penn, lived in New Amsterdam. They've fought in almost all our wars. WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, etc. I never thought my country would kill me ...
Every single worthless nazi republishit voted to kill us tonight. 217-215. They drool at the thought of our dying. Killing us gives them a hard-on. Fucking nazi mother fuckers.

And he just might suggest that. Did you see that AI video of his trump gaza resort? He posted it himself on his truth thing now its everywhere but I can't tell if he did it on his end or someone did it to troll him.
They don’t care, you can take the food from the mouths of their kids, throw their elderly parents on the street, as long as it hurts the other side they are happy. Brainwashing has been there for years. It’s set.
Where the rubber meets the road is when it becomes personal. It's easy not to care about what happens to other people. This is a golden opportunity for the Democrats to attract the less fanatic fraction of the magas to the camp that truly defends their VITAL ASPIRATIONS.
Their kind of "christian" firmly believes (with zero justification) that being poor, sick, or homeless indicates a spiritual disease, so forcing people to suffer for their deficiencies is a form of penance. Welcome to the 12th century.
It absolutely funds senior care. My facility is 92% Medicaid residents. Private insurance is really expensive and people are outliving their savings & insurance coverage.
Wow!
REPUBLICAN Congress votes to kill hundreds of Americans, or more, and create thousands more homeless folks over the next couple of years.
Coming soon to a freeway ramp or intersection median or underpass near you.
DUH??
And so Molly...
Any words of wisdom?
Those 'cuts' sound sterile.
More like lifelines are chopped off at the knees.
I will now NOT get the surgery scheduled in three weeks to have my fukkin bladder sown back into place.
Does that sound as simple as a 'cut' to you?
I bet a lot of his supporters have relatives in nursing homes or assisted living who are surviving on Medicaid. We’ll see how they like it when Medicaid is cut.
I have been trying to point these things out every time I see a post about the bill.
They are directly, suddenly, taking out of the economy a lot of money, and it's money with a high multiplier factor, so for every billion cut, that could anywhere from 2-4 billion in lost economic activity.
YES! Money spent on Government welfare programs have a stimulating impact on the economy, because poor people, definitionally, reinvest all of that money back into the economy. This is true globally.
The rich spend it on trips to Europe or stockpile it in trusts in the Caymans.
We can have discussions about how better to support people and make a more equitable economy and ensure stability and safety and maintain free markets and all that.
But removing so much money from a vast functioning economy at once destroys wealth, collapses society without a means to restart it.
Yep which will have a ripple effect just like his last presidency. Mass lay offs, major uncertainty, low economic activity, etc etc. We will all suffer. The rich people this is made to benefit will be fine. Of course
My question is when are these corporations going to start pushing back. This will also have pretty dire consequences for them as well. My store did about $200k in benefit spending on groceries and general merchandise last year. We're a fairly small store Multiply that by 4,500 stores though. 😳
Stock market tanks - those with plenty of money take advantage- housing prices tank leaving those with plenty of money able to take advantage- lather, rinse, repeat.
Who thinks members of the Walton Family are already ripping Republikkkans a new one & reminding them just how much money they pay into Republikkkan coffers & Maga Moses changes his mind again in the morning
The USA 🇺🇸 should tax every citizen 0.5% of their income to pay for a national Medicare program similar to what happens in Australia. We have free healthcare and it’s all paid for by the government via the Medicare tax benefit scheme. It’s brilliant and we live a good life because of it. It works.
Weird take. I'm insured through my employer. My point is the ultra rich are in power and giving themselves more tax breaks to become richer while gutting all of the programs that sustain the citizens. We don't need to pay any more in taxes. I do absolutely wish we would have universal healthcare
PoliticsGirl channel creator uploaded a video explaining about IRS today. She mentioned there are more than enough uncollected tax from top 1%. IRS agents cannot fight with highest paid tax attorneys hence even if billionaires cheat or don’t pay their taxes, IRS cannot go after them. IRS gutting?
As someone on Medicaid due to a disability, *IF* you can find a doctor. My dentist is over an hour away. This is 100% going to hurt people (I average 2 doctors every week) and if they include a work requirement, then lots of disabled Americans are fucked.
Before that it will end the ACA’s Medicaid expansion that helped millions of poor Americans get coverage. Then states will tighten their requirements to thin their roles. Then they’ll stop paying doctors.
This ought to solve the declining birth rate. 👌🏻 If young people are smart, they'll carry on with the increasing vasectomies/tubes tying we've seen in the last few years.
And Medicaid pays lots of doctors and nurses at or below the cost of care that we provide - many of us are already subsidizing these folks’ care. We can’t absorb this cost
It pays for memory care in nursing homes, long term care in rehabilitation facilities, it funds rural healthcare clinics, it provides for kids with disabilities rehabilitation services in schools- this is critical in small towns especially rural ones..disabled, Veterans & VA care & funds clinics
This is very true! I hadn’t considered this part. This is going to hurt even those who are not on Medicaid when the lacking of existing services becomes no services available!
Private practice docs who have patients about to lose Medicaid will be sending patients to hospitals and urgent care clinics. Unfortunately, uninsured patients will bankrupt hospitals and clinics all over the country
Medicaid also pays drug and medical device manufacturers billions a year. Along with Medicare, the Federal government are med tech's biggest customer by far.
Deep cuts to medicaid will devastate med tech companies that employ tens of thousands of Americans.
If nothing else, this will really put a dent in the homeless problem facing Americans, by encouraging people to dump their elderly relatives on the street, if they can’t afford a nursing home.
The good news is that people will not need to hire babysitters going forward, since your elderly relatives will be living with you, unless they have an income of $8000 or more per month to pay for their nursing home, which is often difficult for people who need a nursing home.
I’m so sorry. While you and he are sadly among so many affected by this, it’s no less cruel, unnecessary, and infuriating. We will keep fighting and keep showing up for each other with compassion no matter what.
Worked in the disability field for over a quarter century so I know how it goes. Their leaders and the wealthy will go to private pay. The poors can just do it themselves or beg and borrow because they don't care about them.
Medicaid has been sabotaged enough. I'd like to see the statistics on people admitted to the hospital just before they turn 65 and their mortality rate.
It causes lots of grief when the victims die just as they turn 65.
Trump is only a symptom of our diseased society of crypto nazis.
So sorry. My sister's MIL is in the same situation. And I have three right wing nut job so-called Christian brothers in my family who are okay with all of this. Haven't spoken to them in 5 years.
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles, I’ll be keeping y’all in my thoughts. I cannot imagine what you’re going through, if you don’t have anyone to vent to, yell at, punch in the face, etc. I’m here for you.
I wish there were adequate words to tell you how much it breaks my heart both that your son needs Medicare and that the government that should be helping you is trying to stab you in the throat. Project 2025 is both unconscionable and unforgivable. The Republicans have completely lost their soul.
This is heartbreaking. I have a friend with many disabilities including cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus. He is either in bed or a wheelchair. His benefits are in danger too.
Maybe this is what has to happen to make these idiots wake up. He didn’t win by that much. A few percentage points could shift the tide away from him fairly quickly.
@warren.senate.gov
Senator, you described the request to agree that rich people should not get tax breaks during the Vote-er-Rama. With R’s yelling NO! THAT WOULD BE A GREAT NATIONAL COMMERCIAL!
I keep picturing the old, sick people who were in the nursing home with my mother, when she was dying of cancer and Alzheimer's. Medicaid paid the monthly NH bill for most of them. They, like children, were not involved in voting for this cruel, fascist administration. What will become of them now?
The states will have to pay without federal help. Let's hope they raise taxes to cover it and stress to the voters that it's their Senators and Representatives fault.
My state of NH won't. They've played all kinds of games in the past to get out of their share. They've been talking about converting it to a block grant at a lower level of funding so nasty states will make it difficult to get Medicaid.
A good idea except for situations like ours here in Ohio. Our governor put a trigger law in his 4000 page budget that said if federal money for Medicaid dropped even 1% they will cut the Medicaid expansion program they adopted years ago.
How can they blame Biden for Medicaid cuts they just voted in themselves? Do they really think we're that stupid? Everything that happened after January 20th is on the Insurrectionist Trump.
Enormous state tax increases will be required to cover this. Yet we all will have to also continue to pay our usual amount of Federal taxes. So we pay federal taxes to give more tax breaks to millionaires, and high state taxes to support essential services that Medicaid covered prior to trump/musk.
My whole family is going to lose our medical insurance. My husband is 62, disabled with type 1D, epilepsy, a heart condition and I teach courses at the community college as an adjunct (no benefits). Trying to keep all 4 of us above water - been through tough times before but we don’t deserve this.
Honestly, if they don't have a plan for how to put those they made to suffering so completely out of their suffering, they have less compassion than Hitler did.
Kill off the weak, sick, disabled, poor, along with mass deportations while bringing in the millionaires with gold cards to re build a society. Eugenics, You are correct!
Most are on Medicaid, because Medicaid and SSI has an income limit and if the income limit is exceeded, they can stop SSI checks, Medicaid, SNAP and LIHEAP.
if you are disabled, but had higher paying labor, your SSDI check may exceed maximum limits and you never qualified for medicaid.
The point i am making is, this affects the poor whether they are disabled or not; it so happens most disabled are poor if low earning/unemployed for life.
It sure looks like they’re trying to kill off the lower income people while at the same time stocking the gene pull with golden ticket holders.
SickAF.
Sure, but not rich people, and aren't they the only ones that matter to this regime? Poor people die and get replaced by foreigners holding a 5 million dollar "gold card". Win win.
Plus, we don’t want everything privately held, especially in this climate. That’s when people get to dictate who gets to use the services, especially if various agencies of the Federal gov are gutted, taking away recourse/due process.
"Waste, fraud, and abuse" is a PROPAGANDA PHRASE invented by tRump and repeated by his flying monkeys. It is MEANINGLESS RHETORIC AIMED AT MAKING PEOPLE COMPLIANT LEMMINGS. It REPLACES your independent thinking, it HIDES all THEIR FRAUD.
Capping federal Medicaid payments to states is a key objective of the administration. To lay the groundwork, the administration argues the Medicaid program is riddled with fraud. States are abusing Medicaid policy. There is an enormous amount of waste, fraud & abuse. This narrative is simply false.
Yes, especially all the maga folks who live in red states and are on Medicaid, but keep voting for people who campaign on taking it away from them. A constant diet of fox news made them believe they weren’t on Obamacare, and they don’t benefit from ANY bills Biden signed into law. Too dumb to vote.
Ohio has fucked this country over for DECADES with their stupid voting. They gave us GW, too. They’ll be in the same boat the rest of us are in. This is what hate and greed get you; mutual destruction.
No lie detected. The GOP did a masterful job of gerrymandering after 2010 census. There have been attempts to stop this. Constitutional amendments in 2017 & 18 the GOP ignored along with GOP State Supreme Court. GOP sabotaged 2024 attempt to create citizen commission. Corruption overflowing.
Plus the MSM. Need to go with alternatives.Substack with folks like Jim Acosta and Heather Cox Richardson. Of course, Bluesky. Economic boycotts. Non Violent protests. Need to spread the word that Don is spreading his corruption throughout the Executive Branch.
As of October 2024, a total of 79,308,002 people enrolled in Medicaid & CHIP -880B/79.3M = $11,095. Medicaid incomes are under $34K that's a 33% tax hike on poor people with 0 write offs-to fight deficit-Maybe a progressive tax would put 35% tax (No Write offs) on everyone under $400k 50% above?
This whole government is having devastating consequences for a lot of people and resources. Our national parks, staff, USAID and all the people we used to help, on and on. The list is so long now we can't keep track of the devastation and then we keep going hoping it ends before we die.
It's going to get a lot worse. What's going to happen when they start kicking Indians off the reservations, people out of their homes? They talked about that yrs ago, they wanted to go through treaties & see what they could destroy. Do you know what sweep the country means? Hasn't even started yet

Sixty-eight percent of eligible American voters let this happen.
Blame We, The People.
They have abdicated principle, morality and courage to ignorance, fear and greed.
And they have done so with their eyes wide open, dragging the rest of us down for Hate's sake.
Indeed.
the rich not getting tax cuts is unacceptable
/wretch
They’re literally conspiring premeditated murder en masse. WTF?!🤬
Every war game I have tried there is no victory for the fascists.. it all ends in defeat.
Also in each one, we get hit by EMPs.
The people are too resilient!
I say we send them straight to hell when they come.
They are disgusting malignant narcissists.. evil to the core.
Many good things will be wisely running under the radar.
What they see is not what they get.
Good luck to them.
But you need to have more kids
What a paradox
F**king Republicans
The Christian organizations bought the abortion and sex education bans.
The 1% bought out the healthcare system.
85+ million Americans
1 in 5 Americans
60% of U.S. nursing home residents.
40% of children
50% of all births in some states
Women (58%), Men (42%)
White (40%), Black (22%), Hispanic (28%), Asian (5%), Other (5%)
disability-related eligibility 9.9 million, 11%
Here in Washington it is Apple Health.
California: Medi-Cal
Colorado: Health First Colorado
Connecticut: HuskyHealth

People don’t think their insurance is Medicaid but it very well could be!

And it will throw even more people out of work. Think of the employees of nursing homes, hospitals, group homes and agencies who are funded by Medicaid.
All this for yet another tax break for billionaires. Sad!

Isn't it wild.. the extent at which they are literally foaming at the mouths for a chance to hurt people.
Malignantly narcissistic hate-filled zombies who are so far gone it's like a plague.

There will be an uprising.
I think it's because of the system, they feel their voice and vote doesn't count.
#WeToldYouSo
those are covered by Medicaid in many states.
Memories are short on this.
And now it will happen again.

They are entering the Find Out part of Fuck Around. It’s their fault. The rapist/felon cheated his way into the Oval. Now he is going to burn his lemmings.
I know people who are federal employees, and Trump voters who got laid off. They 100% blame liberals for this.
There’s no magical messaging Democrats are gonna be able to do to reach across the aisle to these people, like drug addicts they have to hit rock bottom.
they cannot accept conflicting information or they lose themselves.
we cannot do this for them. they have to feel the consequences of their actions & understand what they have done.
we cannot do that for them.
I would rather have a war and kill as many of these oligarch fucking pieces of shit and their goons as possible than to suffer based on their entirely engineered false narratives.
- food
- housing
- medication management
- adult daycare
- oversight of quality of care & services
- staff nurse
- transportation to appts
- food prep
- bathing, changing diapers
- much more

Oh wait…..once born, they are the Pro Our Wealthy Lives Only, People.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

I don’t feel that way currently.
I’ll manifest for you, Crystal. For all of us. That’s all I got, and a finger to dial my representatives all day long. I got a lot of that too.
I’m starting to think that’s the whole GOP platform: fuck ‘em, they’re poor.

My ma and Pa too fought against fascism in WWII
People have to take to the streets now
Depressed so depressed
It should be cutted and given to billionaires
Ppl voted for this
I don't see that much ppl on the streets
There's room in the Sinai desert, just pack them up and ship them out.
(it's a sad world when you have to mark this as sarcasm)
REPUBLICAN Congress votes to kill hundreds of Americans, or more, and create thousands more homeless folks over the next couple of years.
Coming soon to a freeway ramp or intersection median or underpass near you.
And so Molly...
Any words of wisdom?
Those 'cuts' sound sterile.
More like lifelines are chopped off at the knees.
I will now NOT get the surgery scheduled in three weeks to have my fukkin bladder sown back into place.
Does that sound as simple as a 'cut' to you?
They are directly, suddenly, taking out of the economy a lot of money, and it's money with a high multiplier factor, so for every billion cut, that could anywhere from 2-4 billion in lost economic activity.
The rich spend it on trips to Europe or stockpile it in trusts in the Caymans.
But removing so much money from a vast functioning economy at once destroys wealth, collapses society without a means to restart it.
As inequality approaches maximum, the very few will not be able to protect themselves from the millions and millions.
People with nothing to lose have everything to gain.
But they don't seem that smart, just petty and vengeful and greedy with a toddler's conception of how countries and economies work.
They always wants it both ways
Cut health funding? Okay; what’s going to happen when workers are ill and you stopped remote work?
Tariffs? What about the diners located near soon to be empty plants?
This isn’t a slam to the poor, it’s a slam to our already crumbling healthcare infrastructure
Medicaid *only* pays for the care of 63% of nursing home residents.
Ready to quit your job to stay home and care for your grandma with dementia? No? Then you need Medicaid, too.
Decent people are horrified but conservatives are celebrating the suffering and death that will come.
It also sucks for those who get paid via Medicaid, but they will not *die* because of it.
They promised no abortions and lots of babies to the churches.
They promised cuts to the billionaires.
Deep cuts to medicaid will devastate med tech companies that employ tens of thousands of Americans.
This is why there will be more Luigi Mangione’s.
It causes lots of grief when the victims die just as they turn 65.
Trump is only a symptom of our diseased society of crypto nazis.
I pray that they all burn in hell!!!
Senator, you described the request to agree that rich people should not get tax breaks during the Vote-er-Rama. With R’s yelling NO! THAT WOULD BE A GREAT NATIONAL COMMERCIAL!
Led states that voted for this

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-murder-of-people-with-disabilities
Medicaid helps cover costs like Medicare part b premiums
This mostly affects the very very poor
And this will be very devastating to them
But it's cuz they are poor, as this affects the poor
Disabled who had labor and rely on SSI it will make things harder but are more in a working class economic bracket
That should read
So is not about disability
Is about wealth
I have no doubt they are coming for social security and Medicare too
But it will be later when we are used to mass death like the illiberal world
I was out of work, just for a while, and depended on medicaid, which paid for my cancer treatment at the time. Otherwise, I would not be here today.
This is just tip-of-the-spear.
USAID, CDC, RFK Jr, etc, all part of the plan
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-final-solution?parent=en%2F11138
The point i am making is, this affects the poor whether they are disabled or not; it so happens most disabled are poor if low earning/unemployed for life.
It so happens most disabled are on medicaid, cuz few disabled had high earning enough labor if labor at all to not qualify for medicaid with SSDI/SSI.
SickAF.
Anyone else wondering why the number 8 keeps popping up?
No? Just me?
Hahaha… I’m just kidding
I’m not actually wondering
I damned well know why 😐
I think we should just vote them out of office.
Yeah.
There's going to be a lot of pain. To them, the pain is the point.
