Republicans - Specifically Speaker Mike Johnson - are Doing a Poor Job of Explaining What Democrats Want in Their CR

[Delldude]

FYI- heard Trump is considering a policy granting healthcare providers open access across state lines which would bring competition and lower premiums down the road. It was mentioned on radio coming from conversations with Dr. Oz.

Asking why the democrats aren’t better at getting things past the republicans isn’t an argument for the importance of a policy. If you want a history of the bill negotiations look up Manchin’s role in it and the overpowered small red state representation in the senate.

100% your cult "dipshit" You passed the sundowning of the subsidies all on your own. ANd to now blame Manchin is hilarious.

Federal workers are terrified about losing their jobs. But they already know who to blame -- Trump.

President Trump is not responsible for the shutdown. Senator Schumer and the other Democrats in the Senate are to blame for the shutdown. The bill that Democrats did not vote for is the same bill they voted for in March 2024, September 2024, December 2024, and March 2025. It appears that embarrassing President Trump is more important to Democrats than passing a budget.

Democrats and Republicans define "Illegal allien" differently, and they and their media are depicting those differing definitions as Republicans lying.

Dems want to restore taxfunded health benefits to illegals who got assylum, or parole, or Temporary Protective Status when they were being granted en masse by the Autopen Administration.

In the minds of Democrats - and their media - those people are NOT illegal aliens. To Speaker Johnson, they are.

That difference in definitions allows the media to accuse him of lying and cite the federal law prohibiting "illegal aliens" from getting federal benefits.

Johnson needs to stop saying "illegal alien," and start saying "aliens granted mass assylum, often after having illegally entered the U.S." That would sell.

Here at his press conference today he says at 6

"Why are we saying they want to return, restore taxpayer funded benefits to illegal aliens? Because that's what they did."



Then he directs Americans to page 57 of the Democrat proposal, which is on his speaker.gov website.

Few voters are going to go to look at that document, compare it to the BBB and see what the Dems want to repeal from it.

I'll do the homework. This is Schumer's proposed CR:

Most Americans do not want to see their tax dollars used to pay for the healthcare of such aliens, even if the previous administrataion granted them "legal status."

So in your deranged, cruel, bigoted mind someone fleeing persecution who is granted asylum should be treated the same as illegal aliens.

You people get more and more vicious every day.

It isn't just the loss of the COVID era tax credits causing ACA policy premiums to rise.
Other factors involved include increases in underlying health care costs driven by factors like higher hospital and drug prices, medical labor shortages, and increased demand for medical services, including specialty drugs. Plus, insurers are proposing the largest rate increases in years.

The bottom line is Repubs, when having a choice of helping to make health insurance more affordable for middle/low income households, instead prioritized tax breaks favoring the rich and corporations.

Stupid OX. They have MediCaid MediCal Free clinics etc.

We dont want to fund sex changes to 12 yr olds or lifetime care for gangbanger gun shootouts etc.

Not my problems. Don't get sick or hurt, buy private, stay home, use existing, get a job that offers it.

So Johnson wants to **** over millions of U.S. citizens with massive premium hikes plus ripping health insurance away from millions of Medicaid recipients because of this one provision? Bullshit. Trump, Johnson & the rest of those depraved ***** need to find a way to finance the tax cuts that they passed to benefit their ******* billionaire cronies.

They're blowing smoke up your ass & lying to your face with this immigrant healthcare bullshit.

Johnson is letting the provisions DIMWINGERS wrote go into effect.

Your Murder Cult fucked over millions of Americans by holding us hostage to their scheme to give illegals free healthcare, Chimper.

 

[Delldude]

Democrats' passed thirteen clean CR's under Biden.
That's what is before Senate dems now.

 

[Seymour Flops]

So in your deranged, cruel, bigoted mind someone fleeing persecution who is granted asylum should be treated the same as illegal aliens.

If they crossed the border illegally, absolutely.

You people get more and more vicious every day.

It's illegal to give illegals free healtcare, dead from the neck up meathead. The law says so.

Try taking your head out of Trump's ass before posting drivel.

It's only illegal if you get caught.

The law says so.

The law says illegal aliens can't stroll into the country nilly willy to.
