Ah so states that hate paying the poor and taking care of the poor will get to cut ALL the poor folks healthcare....LOVELY!Back to Basics, if you please.
Federal funding for individual healthcare is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This funding is the province of the STATES, the PRIVATE SECTOR, and the INDIVIDUAL(!). Hence, most Americans have never, and will never, get their healthcare paid for by "Medicaid." Thank God.
Our Beloved President and his Administration are trying to get a grip on the exploding Federal deficit by making this spending finite and predictable, while turning over the remaining obligations to the STATES, where they belong.
So the very same people who scream at the President for "his exploding budget deficit" now scream at him for trying to put a handle on it.
And for those who "blame" the 2017 tax cut, Federal income tax revenues have increased each year and OMB projects that they will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Fuck you all very much.
The government is collecting more money but there isn't enough for medicaid...that makes zero sense.Trump administration announces Medicaid funding overhaul
Ah, yes need to pay for those tax cuts for the rich somehow eh!? Why not attack the healthcare of the poorest of your supporters...oh and Trump thanks for FINALLY getting my elderly parents to say they WON'T be voting for you now...they were still all on board but this did it for them. I will just sit back and laugh at all the cultists who will lose their insurance,get LESS care but still vote for this bastard.
The government is collecting more money now, than it was before there were in tax cuts.
The bottom line is, there isn't enough money for Medicaid.
Children run around screaming "I want it", adults look at the facts, and realize the money isn't there for endless health care spending.
How does that not make sense to you? How?
I do not even understand how you can even ask the question........ Let me try explaining it a different way.
I want a Tesla Roadster. I work for $14/hour. Can I afford it? No.
Now I get a raise. I'm making $16/hour. $30K a year. A Tesla Roadster is $200K.
I'm collecting more money than I ever have in my life. Can I afford a Tesla Roadster?
*NO*!
The government is collecting more money than ever before in the history of this country. $3.5 Trillion dollars.
Unfunded Govt. Liabilities -- Our Ticking Time Bomb | RealClearPolitics
Medicare has unfunded liabilities of roughly $122 Trillion dollars.
If we eliminated all government spending.... ALL OF IT... INCLUDING SOCIAL SECURITY... and put every single dollar towards Medicare... we wouldn't have enough money to cover Medicare.
We can not afford Medicare.
This is called math. It's not opinion.... it's not a political party talking point.... it's math. We can not afford Medicare. Then end. Period.
The government could DOUBLE it's tax revenue, and still not afford Medicare.
