GOP Takes Aim at Medicaid, Putting Enrollees and Providers at Risk - KFF Health News

Congressional Republicans are pushing plans that could make deep cuts to Medicaid to finance President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and other priorities. At stake is coverage for millions of low-income Americans, as well as a huge revenue source for hospitals — and every state.

Medicaid is under threat — again.

Republicans, who narrowly control Congress, are pushing proposals that could sharply cut funding to the government health insurance program for poor and disabled Americans, as a way to finance President Donald Trump’s agenda for tax cuts and border security.

    “Those poors don’t need food or health care. If they die, all the money we spend on them can go in my pocket and make me richer! Sounds like a plan where I can’t lose!”

    What fucked up society norms pushed such narcissistic, self serving asshats to a position of power and control? We are all out here trying to live, I don’t see people trying to adjust how they fucking live. Because they are in that place of power, they’ve been ordained by Jesus to bend all of us to their will? Get the fuck out of here.

      This is the capitalistic ideology in action. This is where it leads, always. It values and incentivizes selfishness above even the life of the planet. Literal insanity.
