Didn't take long for regret to set in, did it?

Wonder if it will get any traction?

Personally I doubt it.

This narrative isn't working for you. How many times are you going to try?

What "narrative"?

I just posted a fact.

A couple cult members, probably on Medicaid, have signaled their support of the cuts.

No you didn't.

But I did. Look it up if you don't like my lin. It really happened.

That's what a fact is, just in case you didn't know. it's something that really happened.

Well, since there were no "cuts" to Medicaid, not sure what your propaganda is talking about.

You read it wrong. Try again.

What Medicaid cuts?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Make it a stand alone bill, and it stands a good chance to pass.

First off, I don't believe you, or the HuffPost...Can you post the legislation?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Shut up, j-mac.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has introduced the Protect Medicaid and Rural Hospitals Act on July 15, 2025, aiming to reverse Medicaid cuts that were part of the recently passed “One Big Beautiful Bill”—a sweeping GOP tax and spending package that he himself voted for just two weeks earlier.

Key Points of the Legislation

• Repeals Medicaid provider tax and state-directed payment reductions included in the original bill.
• Doubles funding for the Rural Health Transformation Fund from $50 billion to $100 billion.
• Extends the fund’s duration from 5 years to 10 years.
• Hawley claims the bill will protect rural hospitals and prevent future Medicaid cuts from taking effect in 2028.

Hawley’s Justification

Despite voting for the original bill, Hawley stated:

“Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect. We should also increase our support for rural hospitals around the country.”

He previously criticized the Medicaid cuts as “morally wrong and politically suicidal” in a May op-ed, but ultimately supported the bill under pressure from GOP leadership.

Political Fallout

• Critics, including Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, mocked the move as a contradiction:
• • “Just so I’m clear… he’s introducing a bill… to repeal the bill… he voted for… two weeks ago?”
  • Health policy experts have questioned Hawley’s claims about guaranteed funding for Missouri hospitals, noting that states must apply competitively for the funds.
• Would you like a breakdown of how this reversal might impact Medicaid recipients or rural healthcare systems?
