Millions more Americans signed up for taxpayer-funded health care coverage like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace during the Biden administration, a shift lauded by Democrats as a success.
But Republicans, who are looking to slash federal spending and offer lucrative tax cuts to corporations and wealthier Americans, now see a big target ripe for trimming. The $880 billion Medicaid program is financed mostly by federal taxpayers, who pick up as much as 80% of the tab in some states. And states, too, have said they’re having trouble financing years of growth and sicker patients who enrolled in Medicaid.
To whittle down the budget, the GOP-controlled Congress is eyeing work requirements for Medicaid. It’s also considering paying a shrunken, fixed rate to states. All told, over the next decade, Republican lawmakers could try to siphon billions of dollars from the nearly-free health care coverage offered to the poorest Americans.
If those who die are MAGA fans, they learned the hard way not to choose the right candidate
If the people who die voted third party or didn’t vote they will also learn that politics do matter to them.
Garbage take. Stop trying to blame voters - it’s the responsibility of the DNC to win votes, they are not owed votes. Democrats failed miserably because they’re too beholden to corporate interests to actually give a damn about helping the working class.
Yes, people will die from losing Medicaid, and you’re wrong to blame them for it.
It is a responsibility to vote for the best outcome you can get. That isn’t staying home and it isnt a Russian funded 3rd party. Voting or not voting such that we’re in the situation we are is entirely the fault. Refusing to participate in the system doesn’t make the system reform.
As someone close to the front of the genocide line I’ll blame whoever I damn well please and that includes 3rd party and non voters who want perfection vs cartoon evil.
Then you, just like the Dems, have learned absolutely nothing from this election and will lose even worse next time as a result. Good luck with that strategy. Maybe the “good billionaires” the Dems work for will stop to save you from impending doom, but I wouldn’t count on it.
