Trump EO = 20 States Stop Medicaid Benefits - Millions At Risk Of Dying

I can’t stay silent while millions of people stand on the brink of losing the coverage that keeps them alive. The recent executive order to freeze federal grants, which effectively guts Medicaid funding, is a direct assault on anyone who depends on these benefits to survive. It’s not just bureaucratic red tape; it’s a life-or-death matter for seniors in nursing homes, individuals in hospice care, and people of all ages who require medications like insulin just to get through the day.

Seniors and individuals with disabilities in long-term care facilities rely heavily on Medicaid as their primary source of payment. If federal matching funds are paused, those facilities could lose a major portion of their reimbursement. That leaves nursing homes and hospice services scrambling to reduce staff, limit available beds, or even shut their doors. The ripple effects would be disastrous. People could be uprooted from the places they call home, cut off from caregivers who know their needs, and forced into chaotic, sometimes life-threatening transfers.

Then there are the millions of low-income individuals who rely on Medicaid to cover crucial medications. The cost of something like insulin should never stand between a person and their next breath, yet without Medicaid, it can. When people lose coverage, they skip prescriptions, their conditions deteriorate, and they end up in emergency rooms, assuming they make it that far. This so-called “freeze” on funding doesn’t eliminate healthcare needs; it only makes them more expensive and more dangerous by pushing people to seek crisis care rather than preventive treatment.

I reject this psychotic policy for many reasons. First, there is a basic moral responsibility to ensure that no one is cast aside when it comes to healthcare, especially not the elderly, the disabled, or the chronically ill. Second, it’s a reckless economic gamble. Cutting people off from preventive care does nothing but explode healthcare costs in the long run.And third, it’s the height of cruelty that we can find endless resources for corporate bailouts and tax breaks for the wealthy yet claim there’s no money for the most vulnerable among us.

This isn’t about abstract numbers or political talking points. It’s about real people whose lives are hanging in the balance. I vehemently condemn any action that strips Medicaid funding from those who depend on it for basic survival. I call on every official with a conscience, from state attorneys general to local representatives, to challenge this order in court and to work tirelessly to protect the people they swore to serve. You don’t play budgetary games with people’s health and lives. If there’s enough money to prop up corporations, there is absolutely no justification for turning our backs on the millions who rely on Medicaid for dignity, stability, and, quite literally, their next breath.

The best way to protect helpless Americans who need Medicare is to work with and support Trump efforts to find and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Horse shit. The best way is to get rid of Trump, then we can get rid of corruption.

First, we have to determine the level of corruption.
