House G.O.P. Floats Medicaid Cuts and More to Finance Trump’s Tax Cuts

[task0778]

Those old bastards need to get out in the snow and rain like the rest of us.

Speaking as one old bastard, fuck you. As I see it, my health is my problem, not anyone else's. It's on me to take care of myself and when I can't then I own a handgun with bullets in it. I'll even go outside so there's no mess to clean up once you cut the grass. I won't suffer and nobody else has to pay for my healthcare. Win-win.

Don’t give me the red state nonsense. It is the blue areas of red states that most WELFARE recipients live BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE MORE LIKELY TO USE WELFARE THAN REPUBLICANS.

A Bipartisan Nation of Beneficiaries

As President Barack Obama negotiates with Republicans in Congress over federal entitlement spending, a new national survey by the Pew Research Center

www.pewresearch.org

Don't give me your strawman nonsense. You know good & well I was replying to Skews.

And you survey shows that Republicans use a major entitlement program quite a bit at 52%. Democrats exceeded them by only 8 points. Carry on, neocon.

Most average real americans are living basically paycheck to paycheck. They will not be thrilled about cuts to their social security and medicare. No cuts to those programs are warranted.

There aren’t going to be any cuts. If anything, there will be more money in retirees’ pockets if Trump’s plan isn’t defeated by Dems.

is there any money left to cut after biden raided it to fund ukraine??

That didn't happen.

No there won't.

I don’t know where these MAGAs get there information? I believe it is a place called the A.N.U.S.

Yep.

Biden made those prescriptions, including insulin, much cheaper.

Really? Other than “insulin,” name one cheaper prescription which Potato “made” less expensive.

 

[Lisa558]

No there won't.

If taxes are cut in SS benefits, then yes there will. Dems will try to block it, and then you’ll have 50 million seniors pissed at them.

It saved me from digging dinner out of a garbage can...

That’s great. You’re welcome.

Kind of all of them, since some Medicare enrollees now have out-of-pocket drug costs capped at $3500.

Starting in 2026, the next ten most common drugs after Insulin will be much cheaper.

And vaccines were made much cheaper, though they're not technically prescriptions.

Unless Trump reverses that. Which he'll probably do, since Elon thinks that money needs to go to billionaires.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get SS disability? It took me 15 months to get approved and I had a liver transplant.

I gotz it within 8 months.

 

[Moonglow]

That’s great. You’re welcome.

Eat shit and live, I paid in for forty-five years.

Link to that and how Potato made it happen?

Starting in 2026, the next ten most common drugs after Insulin will be much cheaper.

Actually, if that Potato administration plan continues at all, no such benefits will commence until 2026.

And vaccines were made much cheaper, though they're not technically prescriptions.

Which “vaccines” are you talking about. And, one?

Unless Trump reverses that. Which he'll probably do, since Elon thinks that money needs to go to billionaires.

I understand. FOX didn't talk about this, so you had no way of knowing it.

Evidently (unlike me) you didn’t bother to read it and if you did you clearly didn’t understand what it said.

 

[protectionist]

Some of those are good. Like repealing subsidies for illegals. Or reclassifications to prevent people getting extra benefits.
Ohhh I found a bad one! Improve senior access to telehealth! Those old bastards need to get out in the snow and rain like the rest of us.

You had it going good, until your last sentence. That's where you blew it.

So elderly people will be going back to work? Sounds great. Nursing home patients working so the corporate heads get their tax cuts.

Liberals love creating Strawmen. The bigger and more ridiculous the better. Pheeew! (high-pitched whistle)
