COWARD republicans will likely take Medicaid from millions and will do so at 1am

[vapor2]

Their cruel bill will add $3 -4 trillion to our deficit. They fear trump more than they do their voters. Just sad to live here anymoe

1. How do they expect to survive another election doing that?

They must have some plans about that too ..

[Mysterian]

2. The Giant Wurlitzer aka the corrupt mass media

Propaganda works and republicans own the tv and radio stations.

[Jarqui]

4. Millions in need of medical care are about to find out

they don't have coverage anymore.

Those people have friends and family.

Take away medical care or social security: I doubt there is any amount of propaganda that will overcome that.

Of the 300,000 government workers Trump/Musk got rid of so far, how many will believe "This Trump thing sure worked out good for me!!"

Trump is underwater on nearly every issue except immigration where he's at ~51%.

Many authoritarian regimes have fallen because reality got in the way of propaganda.

17. People lost their children to measles and remained loyal to the propaganda

Nazis fought for a lost cause all the way down the streets to the fuhrer bunker in Berlin.

Brainwashed people are not rational and it's good to understand that.

3. Yes it appears they will rig the elections again.

The only explanation for severely damaging the American people and the country.
Going against the wishes of the American people.

They feel immune from consequences.

[Jarqui]

6. That is what this is starting to feel like to me

If the Senate removes the filibuster, what stops them from aggressively changing all kinds of rules for elections or anything else?

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes it looks like the GOP congress is done with democracy and helping the American people.

They are installing a fascist regime.

[Emile]

5. How did Trump win every battleground state?

14. Musk hacker boy computer magic.

9. I believe they are writing it such that

It won't hit immediately. This year's budget ends in Spetembet. But the cuts won't start until 2026, and perhaps not until late 2026.

7. I hope they, those affected, get angry/upset enough to do something about it

[Irish_Dem]

15. Their hatred and ignorance is so strong, they will still vote for Trump/GOP.

[Dan]

8. How many of Trump's supporters that will lose their health will say

It's God's Will! So they can continue supporting the President and the GOP, it's all God's will.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Nothing like a medical expense bankruptcy somewhere in the extended family to wake them up. . . . nt

[Chemical Bill]

10. $500 billion in Medicare cuts in BBB.

Brendon Boyle on MSNBC just now.

16. But it is all going to a good cause, greedy evil billionaires.

11. No one on DU ever lists the actual cuts... so here they are

Specific Proposals:

Work Requirements: The bill would mandate work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents, requiring them to work or participate in qualifying activities for at least 80 hours per month to maintain Medicaid eligibility.

Eligibility Verification: States would be required to conduct more frequent eligibility checks, potentially leading to increased churn and coverage loss.

Citizenship Verification: Stricter citizenship verification requirements could also lead to coverage loss for eligible individuals.

Funding Cuts to States: The bill proposes to reduce federal funding to states that provide coverage to undocumented immigrants or have expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

Provider Taxes: The bill would limit or eliminate certain taxes that states levy on healthcare providers to help fund their Medicaid programs.

Other Provisions: The bill also includes provisions related to drug pricing, funding for Planned Parenthood, and gender-affirming care for minors.
