300 rural hospitals and 11.8MM people kicked off Medicaid. Most of those will be in MAGA country. Good job guys!now that is rich
Medicaid cuts in Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ will leave millions uninsured, threaten rural hospitals
- President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” would make sweeping changes to U.S. health care, leaving millions without health insurance and threatening hospitals.
- The Senate passed the spending measure after a marathon voting session on amendments, but the bill faces another major test in the House.
- Recent changes to the bill would cut roughly $1.1 trillion in health-care spending and result in 11.8 million people losing health insurance over the next decade, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

From AI.......While the exact figure may vary slightly depending on the source and methodology, it is accurate to say that a substantial majority of Medicaid recipients are working. KFF research shows that most adults under age 65 with Medicaid are either employed or have qualifying exemptions from work requirements, such as caregiving responsibilities or disability. For example, one study by KFF indicates that nearly two-thirds of adults aged 19-64 covered by Medicaid are working. Furthermore, many Medicaid recipients who are not working are unable to work due to disability, caregiving responsibilities, or other factors.
The number I've heard referred to is 70% of Medicaid recipients have a job.

CBO, which analyzed provisions in an early draft of the Energy and Commerce Committee’s portion of the House budget bill, said that, in 2034, 1.4 million people would lose “other coverage” — specifically health insurance through “state-only funded programs” under current law.
The 1.4 million “includes people without verified citizenship, nationality, or satisfactory immigration status,” the CBO said.
Those individuals are presumed to lose their state-provided health benefits because the House bill includes language penalizing states that provide “any form of financial assistance” for health coverage or “any form of comprehensive health benefits” to immigrants living in the country illegally “regardless of the source of funding.”
For those states, the bill proposes reducing from 90% to 80% the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage rate that the federal government is required to pay to states that expanded Medicaid for eligible individuals under the Affordable Care Act.
The CBO analysis assumes that at least some states, deterred by reduced federal payments for their Medicaid programs, would stop offering their state-funded health programs to immigrants without lawful immigration status, leaving more than 1 million of them uninsured.
But those individuals would not come from the Medicaid program.
“Medicaid is when a state is accepting federal Medicaid dollars in compliance with federal Medicaid coverage rules,” Cuello, the Georgetown University professor, told us. So the bill’s provisions aren’t about Medicaid, he said. “And of course, undocumented immigrants are also not eligible for comprehensive coverage in Medicaid.”

If they have until October 1, they can start raising county taxes or encouraging residents who need hospitals to move closer to a city.
I don't know where people get the idea that those of us who live in cities or suburbs so we can have access to jobs should give so much of the money that we earn from those jobs so that people who choose the leisurely life of a country mouse can have all the benefits of working without actually working.
Where did you get that idea, BTW?
