Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, October 06, 2025

Rep. James Comer (R-KY): "There are people who get huge subsidies for Obamacare and that's obviously very helpful for them, but who's paying for that? It's the small business owner, it's the people that are working, it's the people who have group health insurance plans. Their premiums are skyrocketing because of the gimmicks in Obamacare. It's just not fair to everyone. You got Democrat and socialist plans that create winners and losers. We gotta look at everybody. We care about the people that are gonna lose " ah, that could potentially lose healthcare. But there are people that can't afford healthcare. We've gotta get people off Medicaid and into the workforce and into private healthcare, but we can't because off of these subsidies in this fake healthcare economy that was created with Obamacare."

Denigrating humanitarian policy as "socialist" gets curious minds to examine just what exactly is "socialism"

He wants us working, but he won't provide work for us.

How's the Jobs Report coming, Donald?

In the face of a major emergency-nobody, nobody, nobody can afford health care except for the ultra-rich.

GOP Congressman Wants Americans Off Medicaid and Working

Working what jobs?

In the Trump Economy, there's fewer job openings than job seekers.

And I can't imagine disabled Medicaid recipients are going to be anyone's first choice.

Either Gomer Comer doesn't know the difference between Medicaid and Medicare, or he's lying through his teeth.

Or, considering Comer ... both.

FTW, someone on Medicaid does NOT get coverage via the ACA. And the reason they're on Medicaid is because they have no assets.

Republicans want to add three days a week of transportation expenses to and from jobs, or to and from volunteer work ... for folks deemed too poor to afford medical premiums.

And all to justify borrowing trillions for tax giveaways.

Another Repub hypocrite who has been in government nearly his entire life lecturing the rest of us as if he can.

Well, the subsidies set to expire are borrowed money paid to insurance / medical industry complex, who make obscene profit. So either way there will be 'taxes' given away to the rich. ('taxes' because it's not taxes per se, it's all debt now. Taxes only cover usury to the banking cartel and MIC spending)
also, the kid in opie's picture is obviously not able-bodied therefore unaffected by work requirement. He's being exploited by leftists as a poster child for the insurance industry.

$120 billion in tax cuts to the ultra rich in the Big Beautiful Bill
$180 billion in yearly corporate subsidies
$10 billion far bailout

But no, it's the disabled and the working poor that are the problem!

disabled Medicaid recipients are not affected by a work requirement.
How long does it take for that to sink in?
It's like you have scotchguard on your brain, information pools on top then rolls right off.

-NO ONE SAID THAT

the working poor
-Have enough to worry about without NONCITIZENS soaking up benefits. Remember, some of the leftists' hostage demands are that we fund benefits for noncitizens and illegal interlopers.
