10.9 million people would lose health insurance under Trump's tax cut bill, CBO projects

[Luckyone]

Lucky, you'll have to work at least 20 hrs a week to keep your taxpayer provided free shit.

Look at post #16 and get back to me with an answer

Yes they are. One of them is a woman in her 60's who drives an Uber and she is on Medicaid. She depends on Medicaid because her income in Uber is very limited.

If her income qualifies her, can you show where in the bill, specifically that she will lose her coverage?

What’s her income?
What is she qualified to do?
Is she on other welfare programs?

60 is not that old. She can work a more stable job…

She just needs to work 20 hours a week. I've been doing that since I was 15 years old.

Huh? She can collect social security at 62 And drive for Uber. At 65 she goes on Medicare. From 60-65, she can use marketplace insurance for less than 50 bucks a month. Your post is all bullshit.

 

[Luckyone]

Yup, abled body and illegals. Not sure what you don't understand.

Look at the reality of these requirements.

People who are on Medicaid are not usually the brightest people and the requirements asked of them are difficult to complete and often require knowledge of computers. In simple words, they need to complete the administrative processes that many are unable to do. In addition, those administrative processes needed to be completed once a year and now it is twice a year.

As far as the oxymoron of this is that the administrative processes required now will cause increased spending, meaning the savings that are supposed to come from the Big Beautiful Bill will be offset by the increased costs. This means that the country will not benefit from it, but the poor will suffer from it.

You mean this was bad?

AI Overview

Approximately 44 million Americans were enrolled in health coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2024 through the ACA marketplaces and the Medicaid expansion, according to a KFF analysis. This represents about one in six people under the age of 65. Over the past decade, nearly 50 million Americans have had coverage at some point through the ACA marketplaces.

Oh, and when you say "the entire society saddled with ACA", do you mean that if you had your own medical coverage, you had to get rid of it and get ACA?

No. I didn't and many didn't have to get rid of theirs. However, they must pay for their own insurance and the insurance for those on the ACA.

Tell Me how that is fair in any way and I'm not a big believer in 'Fair'. Life isn't. Get a ******* helmet.

However, those who are working full-time and still can't are doing it wrong.

NOTHING is holding them down in their dead-end jobs except themselves.

The truth and facts are these:

The 20 million being kicked off were not entitled to it to begin with.

Those who desperately need it have just had assurances that it will be there for them by ensuring it has the funds necessary.

Don't even talk to Me about how government is supposed to work for us. That would be STATES, not Feds. The feds are not a bank for the citizenry.

This is what Trump and the extreme right are saying:

Republicans are advocating for work requirements for Medicaid recipients, arguing that some individuals on the program could be working but are not, and that this policy encourages personal responsibility and reduces government spending. They believe that requiring able-bodied adults to work or participate in work-related activities, such as job training or community service, will incentivize more people to enter the workforce and reduce the number of people relying on Medicaid.

Here are the real facts:

Many people working full-time jobs still struggle financially and need help to survive, according to recent reports.

• Nearly 40 million families, or 29% of the population, are considered "ALICE" (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), meaning they earn above the poverty line but still struggle to afford basic necessities.
• 73% of workers report struggling to afford anything beyond basic expenses, essentially living paycheck to paycheck.
• 40% of workers have even missed work because of financial stress.

This highlights a significant gap between the ability of many full-time jobs to provide a living wage and the increasing cost of living, leaving many individuals and families in precarious financial situations.

This fact goes to prove that Medicaid does more good than not, and that hurting these WORKING families (to get rid of the ones that do nothing and scam Medicaid) will do more damage to our nation than help it. When 73% of WORKING Americans struggle, why would a president want to cause them more pain in order to force those that are not working, to find a job?

If you are between 19 and 64 and without a young child, you simply have to participate in at least 80 hours of community engagement to be able to apply.

The work requirements only applies to able bodied adults without young kids to work 20 hours a week. If you are working, or if you have young children, or you are enrolled in school, you are good to go.


Why do leftys like to skew the real information and get people hyped up?

Medicaid will undergo significant changes due to the 'big, beautiful, bill'

Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act created federal work requirements for Medicaid recipients, which amount to 80 hours a month in community engagement activities to maintain eligibility.

This bill targets those who could work but choose not to. If that's not you, then it doesnt apply.

No matter the cost to other American families that do what they are supposed to do? No one seems to be helping them!

The extreme right seems to be more interested in punishing do-nothings than help working families live a better life.

Since when has a party been interested in doing more harm than good (punishing rather than helping)? Is that a way to move a country forward?

You'd think those working families would be more concerned about those do nothings who are getting benefits and are not contributing to the system

 

[ThisIsMe]

There are quite a few of our friends that depend on Medicaid. They will be affected with this Bill. Why would I not post things about how TRUMP'S big beautiful bill will affect them?

Are your friends able bodied and just choose not to work?

Then UNLUCKY, YOU and your friends help them! You can, anytime you wish. We only ask that YOU stop trying to force all Americans, to help for forever.

 

[ThisIsMe]

No you are wrong. Read the facts that I put up on post #16

Your post affirms what were saying:

• Despite the work requirement, many Medicaid recipients are already working, attending school, or have disabilities or caregiving responsibilities that would likely exempt them from this requirement, according to AP News.

There it is right there

You don't need to be computer literate to get a job or participate in 20 hours of community activity. It actually says you DONT have to get a job, you can either get a job or do community activities.

 

[initforme]

We need a shrinking workforce.

You have to be computer literate to fulfill all the requirements to get Medicaid. It is unfair because it is an oxymoron. Or do you that if you just work you automatically get paid if you don't apply for Medicaid?

 

[Anathema]

More leftard pablum.

There is no far right in this country.

Doesn't exist

Which is exactly why this nation is doomed. Until/unless a signicant percentage of the voting population embraces the ultra-conservative authoritarian government we truly need… we’re all fucked.
