The Medicare cuts start 4/1/2025

[WEATHER53]

Who knows how many illegals got on the tele and bilked taxpayers. To Dems and lib loons dismay, such bilking is ending in hundreds of areas.

 

[initforme]

$1.6 trillion is spent ANNUALLY on tax expenditures.

You all are falling for a magician's oldest trick in the book.

Misdirection.

While Trump and the GOP are gifting the oligarchs, he's blaming the poor and the elderly.

The poor and elderly don't cost the nation anything.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Correct, so it's going back to pre covid functionality

Correct, benefits that currently exist and have existed for a number of years are being cut under the Trump Administration.

I know right.

Why catch, diagnose, and treat illnesses earlier when we can just make access to medical care harder.

BTW - how much does early detection and treatment factor into long term expense?

You actually might have to get up off your fat unhealthy ass and go see the doctor. Medevil!

Yeah, because our current health care system is doing such a GREAT job of that so far , You're just arguing for the status quo outcomes with higher prices.

What don't you understand about how SUPPLY and DEMAND works? Do you understand how incentives work?

I've never used telehealth.

Not a problem with me, I live pretty close to my doctors office, it's only about 10 minutes down the road. There are two hospitals with 20 minutes.

The ones this is going to greatly impact are rural MAGAs that voted for Trump to cut there medical access.

Actually I'm quite enjoying the MAGA that voted for Trump to stick it to the Libs and now Trump is cutting their benefits.

In other words, you don't understand supply and demand or how incentives work and aren't interested in finding out.

Got it.

Ciao.

Oh I do.

You also understand the hypocrisy of Trump who said Medicare won't be touched, Speaker Johns that promised not cust to Medicare.

Well that lasted about 4 weeks as they are touching and cutting Medicare.

What I get is that this isn't driven by "supply and demand", it's driven by a desire to dismantle social programs and cut $880 Billion from the budget no matter who it hurts.

How the hell did you blast your ignorant statements all over the planet before the internet?

How the hell did people ever get their cancer treated before chemo?

All this newfangled medical care needs to go!

How the hell did you survive without discernment?
You don't even know when your masters are bullshitting you.
No wonder you got your ass handed to you in this past election, g.

This is the issue with you which I see is a problem of yours.

YOu guys ready?

First to go is telehealth visits.

I'm not sure how that's gonna save money. I mean sure, they can cut the program but those people still need care, so they will need facilities to handle more in person visits. I can't see that being cheaper than telehealth visits.

Anyway, you can be sure this is just the opening salvo.

This whole thread is a lie ....

The truth is that this is just an expiration of legislation that was enacted during the first Trump Administration expanding telehealth services during COVID (2020), Congress extended it until 3/31/2025. In other words, this has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the Democrats not lifting a finger to make it permanent while they were in power. As usual the Democrats only care about fear-mongering the citizenry rather than anything to do with reality.

Surprising how Democrats never worried about this while they were in power, huh?
