If i fed you a sandwich that had a turd on it, but also had bacon and you rejected it, does that mean you don't like bacon?

When will President Trump divest himself from his business interests?

When will we recover our national sanity and boot this embarrassment out of the Oval Office?

Of course this is the same bill that would slash Medicaid funding, which hospitals rely on for a lot of their cash flow and which finances something like 30-40% of births in this country.

Funding that if slashed would bankrupt families and would likely cause hospitals to have to cut staff, if not close entirely in some rural areas.

And you think this bill is a positive outcome???

JD VANCE and Mike Johnson will bring their own insanities.

This thread from Rep. Casten (from the Chicago Suburbs) outlines why their Medicaid cuts would be devastating in practice and why they are trying their hardest to keep their intentions hidden as much as possible in this process.

The bullet point list he gives for why it affects even those (like all of us I assume) who don't use it is spot on:

  • Families have kids with physical and mental disabilities, and unless you are uber-wealthy, Medicaid is very likely going to be utilized to allow them to live a life of dignity.
  • It's used to cover nursing home expenses. Especially for those without family to look after us, we maybe would need to rely on Medicaid to help finance the costs
  • If you live in a rural area and rely on a hospital system which takes a lot of Medicaid patients, cutting Medicaid would result in worse care and/or hospital closures (this is one I harp on a lot because it's the likeliest biggest direct impact to my life should it go through)
  • Slashing Medicaid will lead to less usage of preventative care services and force more people to utilize ERs, which are already overcrowded as it is.

To quote @Tigeraholic1, woof....

I was going to start a thread on the topic:  The Social Safety Net Offends the Ghost of Ayn Rand but man...this crap is not funny.
