Monday, June 30, 2025

To get the votes for Trump's spending and tax cut bill, The Hill writes that the Vice President struck a deal with a group of Senators that were demanding deeper Medicaid cuts in the bill than the version that passed in the U.S. House.

Republicans' domestic policy bill that is making its way through the Senate would result in deeper cuts and more Americans losing health insurance coverage than the original measure that passed the House last month, according to new estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.

Remember how the maga idiots swore up and down they weren't going to touch Medicaid?

It just passed only after LARGER cuts were forced in.

Yet they'll dutifully ignore the lie and spout the spoon fed talking points.

Idiots.

Even if they expand Medicaid back in the future, it will be too late for many rural hospitals.

I know, making those who can work or volunteer for a whole 20 hours per week to get Medicaid is a crime. That was part of the rules when Medicaid was started, Democrats and their lazy assed base had to change it so their lazy base could freeload, again.

That'll be great, getting the Medicaid recipients without arms or legs to finally get a fucking job.

When you die on the spike, remember today.

People without arms or legs generally wouldn't be considered "able-bodied" there Legally. Please provide a non-partisan citation to verify your claim.

Don't worry, when that doesn't happen and you regurgitate whatever the next talking point is to avoid acknowledging you've been had...again...we won't be surprised.

You've shown yourself to be a moron who follows without thought.

The GOP: If people want health insurance, they can get a job and work for it.

Cool...let me know what jobs are hiring 86 year old alzheimers patients.

They finally got the Bill to be cruel enough to pass.... but hey, they gotta keep the Objective in mind!

Tax cuts for their big donor billionaires not only pays the bills, but it's also a politicians Golden Parachute to a no-show Board position when they retire.

IS that not worth screwing over the poor and middle class?

So Trumpers, the Corporate/Establishment Republicans thank you for your service!

Congress should have the same healthcare system the rest of America does.

They're insulated from their decisions.

Congress should also be paid minimum wage.
