[Sparker]

American healthcare costs vastly more than it is worth, partly because the government pays for so much of it.

American healthcare costs vastly more than it is worth, partly because the government pays for so much of it.

And most working people's wages could never cover health care costs. Top that off health insurance companies aren't struggling profit wise.

With all the doge cuts found, (800 some billion or closer to a trillion we are told) that puts a sufficient dent in the debt.

Trump gets billions in new bribes including hotels and a new plane. The poor get screwed.

The midterms write themselves.

TRUMP! never got a plane, the US did. Big difference. Of course, that means we should return the Statue of Liberty.

I dont quite understand the callous response of everyone is going to die. Thats idiotic. I hope they vote her out of office next time for feeling that way about people.

“We are told”… by DOGE

Well that ain’t gonna get better with the Medicaid cuts.

But fuck it. Rich folks have all the healthcare THEY need and hey… we’re all gonna die sometime… why not sooner than later amirite??

Folks who depend on Medicaid will be in their graves sooner… and neither you nor Joni nor Trump nor any elected Republican gives a shit

Folks who depend on Medicaid will be in their graves sooner… and neither you nor Joni nor Trump nor any elected Republican gives a shit

Repubs only care about the rich and affluent. Cutting USAID is leading to deaths all over the world. Now they decide to bring their death campaign to the US.

That fat piece of dog sh*t is playing golf and cheating on his score as he plans to destroy our democracy. The Repubs are gonna pay...first in Virginia in November...then in 2026.

You mean they'd rather die than meet the very lenient work requirements?

Unfortunately that is the Trumper/Republican way of thinking

Callous bastards

I suppose that you are ok with the following FACTS versus your totally unsupported and erroneous comments!

Nearly two-thirds of Medicaid beneficiaries already work: KFF​

Most adults on Medicaid are employed, suggesting few beneficiaries wouldn’t meet a work requirement policy being considered by Republicans in Congress.

Why do you Trumpers believe that this $880 billion in Medicare cuts is all illegal aliens receiving Medicaid and not mostly full blooded American seniors, children, disabled, working poor, and indigent?

Because we read the bill? You gotta stop watching the MSNBC

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

That was Ernst’s reply to a town hall participant who noted that the proposed Medicaid cuts was going to kill people

Which they aren't. It's the same garbage rhetoric I've heard my entire life from the Democrats anytime someone even hints at reforming or reining in these bloated programs. Ernst responded to hyperbole with hyperbole. Good for her.

You didn't read shit.

CUTTING USAID IS leading to better financial lives for those that need... NOT these dumb fucks!!!
BUT I imagine from your ignorant support of this totally wasted tax payers money these are totally ok expenditures!
Factcheck.org FACTS:
Sorting Out the Facts on 'Waste and Abuse' at USAID - FactCheck.org
These projects were FUNDED with your tax dollars UNDER USAID and the State Department!
"An Irish musical gets $70,000 of my tax money?
"EVs in Vietnam get $2.5 million?
"$6 million to fund Egypt tourism??
YOU"VE really got to be a very sick person to think these wasted expenditures are acceptable! Probably cause you don't pay any taxes but get money from USAID or the government!!!

• $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
• $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
• $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
• $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
• $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
• $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
• $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
• Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
• Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
• “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
• Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
• Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban
• At USAID, Waste and Abuse Runs Deep
