The Curious Case of the Republican Medicaid Turncoats

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Six House Republicans opposed Medicaid cuts, then voted for them. It turns out that will grant them a big tax break.

‘House Republicans passed their colossal domestic-policy package early Thursday morning, clinching a vote of 215 to 214 while most of America slept. The GOP mega-bill, which diverts hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding from social safety net programs, is now bound for the Senate floor. “It’s not surprising that this bill was written behind closed doors and rushed through in the night before Americans had a chance to see what it contains,” Amy Hanauer, executive director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, told the Prospect. “This bill extends enormous tax cuts to those who have the most. It will increase inequality, reduce health coverage, and take food from people’s tables, all to shower the wealthiest people in this country and foreign investors with tax breaks.”’

And none of the windfall realized by the wealthiest people in this country and foreign investors will ‘trickle down’ to benefit average Americans – a ridiculous lie Republicans have pushed for decades.

"Turncoats"? People need to be aware of the difference between medicare and medicaid. Medicare is health insurance for the elderly and is pretty well regulated. Medicaid is a hodge podge of government giveaways with little regulation. All republicans want to do is eliminate the fraud and abuse inherent in the medicaid system and encourage medicaid recipients to be self sufficient.

It's really state giveaways. States that opted for expanded Medicaid under Halfrican Care get a 9 to 1 return on every dollar they contribute so states like CA and NY try getting everyone on Medicaid.

States that didn't, not quite 2 to 1.
