G'ment Has Shut Down The G'ment!!!

Government sometimes drives people to drink I suppose, though this may not be the case in this instance. Look at me, waking up at 4:40 am due to my health issues and stress.

Feel better.

Democrats are on record regarding their demands - that the funding of Medicaid that was slashed by Trump, and the ACA supplemental premiums that allow millions of American citizens to have healthcare coverage, be restored.

Republicans have concocted an alternative Democratic position to which Democrats themselves do not subscribe.

The consequences:

If Congress does not act, health insurance costs will increase dramatically for many of the 24 million Americans who get their coverage through the ACA, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. The impact would be most acute in Republican-controlled states that have not expanded the Medicaid health plan for the poor.​

​

Since neither party is trying to extend coverage to illegals, they would not be impacted. Republican politicians' recalcitrance would harm their Republican constituents.

The supplements that are expiring for the ACA were meant for COVID relief. They were added under Biden in 2021 with ARPA. They were then extended under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. Why on earth would we keep COVID era subsidies when COVID is over? How did these people afford it before the ADDITIONAL subsidies? Right, they did. The Democrats are twisting this into something it isn’t to scare ignorant, uninformed people. The MSM pushes that false narrative.

Several states, including California, Colorado, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Washington, along with the District of Columbia, offer or plan to offer some form of health coverage to residents regardless of immigration status, including fully state-funded programs for adults. Some other states also provide federally funded coverage for specific groups, such as children and pregnant women, regardless of immigration status.

Good luck with that, the economy seems to be doing great! Enjoy your hike, sounds fantastic

Wow. I remember how tough the Biden economy was adding jobs month after month. Fortunately now we are shedding them left and right. By the end of his term maybe he can be net negative.. again… for jobs .

Thanks. Hike will be good.

Application denied. And when they can’t prevail in their (largely dishonest) “demands,” as is typical for those petty tyrant wannabes, they are all for this shutdown.

Be honest for once. It’s a Democrat shutdown, and it’s done for the purpose of relying on their Ministry of Disinformation (the msm) to spew the lies of assholes like Chucky Schumer.

Their hope is to persuade the voters to blame the Republicans.

We should cut federal funding for these states. Why give them money to funnel into this?

Remember how Biden shed a million jobs when the truth actually came out LOL. Think about that on your hike, you were lied to.

Biden added 14M jobs not 15M? Damn. What a sucker.

I just checked. They also revised Trumps job losses from 2.7M lost jobs to 2.7M. Now that was an administration.

Medicaid is a joint federal-state government program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals and families.​

​

People living in the U.S. illegally are not eligible to receive Medicaid benefits other than for emergency medical services.​

Attempting to undo Trump's unpopular trillion dollar cut in Medicaid that targets poorer Americans does not involve illegal aliens.

71 percent of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts​

People living in the US illegally are also not eligible to vote, but some how many are registered to vote. How do you suppose that happens? If you believe that illegals aren’t getting free healthcare, I have oceanfront property in Nebraska for sale at a bargain price.

Not true.

Undocumented immigrants in the United States generally face significant barriers to healthcare access. They are largely ineligible for federal programs like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace subsidies​

​

In fact, Democrats are insisting that Republicans agree to address rising health care premiums due to the expiration of enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, not to extend coverage to the undocumented.

Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” reduces federal spending on healthcare programs by $1 trillion over the next eight years. Experts say older adults could be directly affected by cuts being made to Medicare and Medicaid programs. ​

The GOP had already lost public support, and will be held responsible for its recalcitrance.

The generic congressional vote rating indicates which political party voters support in a congressional election:

They don't believe you. All they believe is what little mikey johnson tells them.

I hope the dems cave in and there is not extension of the expanded subsidies. In the U.S. more republicans than dems receive the subsidies and whether one qualifies for one or make too much money their health insurance premiums are going sky high for 2026. Now, I posted in another yesterday the difference in pubs and dems and subsidies and the dupes that don't believe it can look the post up or search themselves.

Nope, illegals have never qualified for a subsidy to purchase obamacare. In the first year or two a few agents got caught trying to get a few through. But they have always needed proof (if from another country) that they are here legally.

They shouldn't have CDLs either. How'd that happen?

You do realize that shutting down the economy and losing a ton of jobs then allowing the people to go back to work is not adding jobs right? LOL you were fooled

Just like they don't have to have legal names to get those CDL's.

Arrests? Indictments? Prosecutions? Convictions?

Why do you imagine that happens? Please substantiate your propaganda.

Sharks once roamed Nebraska's ancient seas​

Whether you like to imagine that illegal aliens have access to free healthcare under the Trump regime, you have not substantiated your baseless claim.

Trump's slashing Medicaid funding impacts poor Americans.

Nearly 80 million Americans benefit from the government-run health insurance program, and budget cuts to the program could dramatically reduce access to health care for low-income families.​
