Republicans Choice

[okfine]

From Robert Reich...

"Medicaid covers...
-40% of births nationwide
-50% of kids with special needs
-72 million people in total

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.

"Party of family values."

Medicaid also covers many retired Medicare beneficiaries’ monthly premium, the yearly deductible, and the 20 percent out-of-pocket.

Everyone knows that would be political suicide.

The fear mongering about some imagined catastrophe, is that all the opponents have?

Trump Confirms After GOP Budget Vote That Medicaid ‘Will Not Be Touched’​

What the hell am I saying, of course. That has been the SOP of the left since the age of Trump. When in doubt, lie about him and all his supporters.

Medicaid is primarily a State program.

If a Federal program benefits millions of people but is unconstitutional, must the Federal taxpayers fund it forever?

If "we, the people" truly support programs like this, then why has nobody ever proposed an Amendment to Article I giving Congress the power to create and fund them? And socialized medicine, to boot.

Is every dollar spent on Medicaid efficiently and properly spent? Has anyone ever checked?

Everyone knows that would be political suicide.

Then why is this being talked about at all?

You trust too much. Nutty stuff.

Medicaid is primarily a State program.

Joint program with much funding from the feds., Especially in dirt poor states like Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

Coincidentally they are all red states.

Here is Robert Reich's vision of health care in 2007

He wants health care to be more expensive for healthy people to get less overall and let the really sick folk die while having less innovation to cure illness in the future.............and like it.


Isn't it funny that the Left in government only cares about government spending is when it comes to building a border wall, spending money on a military defense, or YOUR health care.

For everything else, the sky is the limit.

So, we need to continue sending trillion overseas to people not entitled to Medicaid?
