The left (lead by Al Green now) is screaming about Trump cutting Medicaid

Have you seen the crap that Democrats like AggieHank post on here? They don't care about intellectual honesty, and they know their voters don't care either.

The budget outline targets that the republicans have put forward would not be possible without a large medicaid cut.

So this comes from the Trump Administration, not democrats.

Didn't that old geezer with his ranting and shaking his cane get thrown out on his arse recently?

I have read elsewhere that the issue with medicare is that it is used as a wash machine to fluff up federal monies to states. A long recognized issue by both parties. California is by far the worst. Will require Congress to undo a 40 year old law

Is there waste within the Medicaid operations and accounting system? Is there fraud occurring at the physician/hospital/nursing homes/home-health/rehabilitation facilities/medical equipment companies that over charge Medicaid? Is there abuse within the entire Medicaid system with coding from physicians and other care services?

THOSE are the targeted areas that will be audited and combed through to find cost savings and bring oversight and accountability to the system. Qualified recipients (poor people) will continue to receive their Medicaid benefits.

Quite frankly, I don't care if they do cut Medicaid.

I am paying a ridiculous amount for health insurance with a huge deductible.

I am paying a ridiculous amount in federal, state and local taxes.

I am tired of seeing people stroll into the ER for a splinter and pay nothing while my wife and I avoid going to the doctor or hospital due to the costs.

I am tired of subsidizing scum.

Cut it all for all I care.

Republicans cannot reach their budget goal of slashing at least $1.5tn in spending over the next decade to fund Donald Trump’s tax cuts and immigration crackdown without cutting healthcare relied upon by tens of millions of Americans – including seniors and children, according to the non-partisan budget assessor.

“This letter from CBO confirms what we’ve been saying all along: the math doesn’t work without devastating Medicaid cuts,” said Pallone in a statement.

Pallone is a democrat.

Cuts to health and social security would be devastating for millions of Americans – and was categorically denied by Trump on the 2024 campaign trail.

Not if you cut the millions of dead people you are paying.



Here they are trying to trick you my guy. No one is talking about taking your grandma off ss except democrats. We are saying take your great grandma who would be 190 today off of ss. Because shes dead.

And he's inching closer to getting tossed from the House Financial Services Committee. That'd be a shame.

I have seen numerous reports and interviews, I have only heard the phrase cutting waste and fraud. I have NEVER heard cutting benefits to people who are eligible.

If looking at your household bills you decide to stop buying junkfood in your groceries the left would declare you are starving your children to death and declare to end child abuse!

Sadly the media would follow right along and the zombie mask wearing sky screamers would follow along too.

So cutting waste and fraud has no bearing on the Republicans budget target? Might be time to stop using your arse for a hat if you refuse to add that to account.
