Democrats slam McConnell over ‘they’ll get over it’ quip on Medicaid cuts

If you thought Joni Ernst’s “we are all going to die” comments were a problem, the former Senate majority leader made the problem worse.

As the Senate moves forward with plans to vote on the party’s domestic policy megabill — the inaptly named One Big Beautiful Bill Act — there are a handful of GOP members who haven’t said yet how they intend to vote on the legislation. Take Sen. Thom Tillis, for example.

As NBC News reported, the North Carolina Republican this week circulated a document to his GOP colleagues during a closed-door meeting “outlining how the Medicaid provisions in their sweeping domestic policy bill could hurt states, particularly red ones.” Tillis’ concerns are rooted in reality: His party’s proposed reconciliation package intends to impose brutal cuts to the Medicaid program, and GOP strongholds are among the states poised to suffer most.

At the same intraparty meeting, according to Punchbowl News, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the former Republican leader, gave a short speech saying “failure is not an option” on the bill, before reportedly adding, “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.”

This is typical of repubs. "But they'll get over it." is reminiscent of Ernst comment, "We all are going to die." The repub party has become a heartless servant of the rich and affluent. They have lost the ability to feel the pain and anxiousness of regular Americans. They are doing their work for the wealthy, making sure there will be money for a tax cut for the affluent. Even if their own constituents are hurt, they must serve their wealthy donors.

"they'll get over it" once they figure out the Dems were, per usual, lying through their teeth.

As majority leader

 

[Rawley]

Well if he said that, I wonder what it is, exactly, that he thinks they'll "get over".

Being lied to by Democrats

 

[BluesLegend]

McConnell is a turncoat tool, he's probably just trying to sabotage Republicans, again.

They'll "get over it" when they "die. Between McConnel and Ernst, the sick and old will soon be gone.

I thought they were just going to cut illegal aliens and fraud, which is plentiful.

From your link:

A spokesperson for McConnell, the former Senate Republican leader, told the Lantern: “Senator McConnell was speaking about the people who are abusing Medicaid — the able-bodied Americans who should be working — and the need to withstand Democrats’ scare tactics when it comes to Medicaid. Senator McConnell was urging his fellow members to highlight that message to our constituents and remind them that we should all be against waste, fraud, and abuse while working to protect our rural hospitals and have safety nets in place for people that need it.”

 

[g5000]

The problem with the "able-bodied Americans" myth is that most people on Medicaid ARE working. They are working jobs which don't provide health insurance.

Aggravating the problem is the fact private health insurance has been skyrocketing for several decades now, pricing more and more and more people out of the insurance market.

And this should be pissing the **** out of Trump's voters who stupidly bleeved he was going to repeal and replace Obamacare with "something better". Something "beautiful". Bleev me. Bleev me. Bleev me.

As more and more people are priced out of health insurance, they are added onto the government's burden. Which is just fine with the insurance companies and hospitals and their profits.

For the Republicans to throw responsibility for this fucked up situation back into the faces of the poor is sickening. Disgusting.

Downright evil.

Trump made Obamacare and skyrocketing costs indelible.

Quite the opposite in fact.

The issue here is that the "able bodied American on Medicare is largely mythical

Is there fraud? Of course, but in vanishingly small amounts. They will snare folks who genuinely need care in their slimy hands and kill them through lack of care.
