You chose to rely on fear instead of waiting for clarification.You just don't like that fact, hence your charge of some "moral lapse". Based on the information available to me at the time, I really did believe Medicaid funding was being cut (whether that cut is a temporary pause or not is irrelevant, especially when there's no information about how long funding will be unavailable).
That is an emotional argument. When people have no argument, they play on emotion.Looking at how callously indifferent many right-wing conservatives are about the needs of the poor or working-class people, I wasn't surprised that Medicaid was being cut. Look at the first page of this thread, and see how that person posted several images of babies crying.
I'm sorry that upsets you.If someone complains about Medicaid being cut, their response is posting a baby crying (stop whining about Medicaid being cut, too bad for you). Sociopathic, psychotic indifference.
You're just exaggerating but yes, right-wingers in general are indifferent to the needs of the poor and working class. During Covid, the right-wingers were the ones with all of the vaccine conspiracy theories and refusing to wear a mask in crowded, public venues, in the middle of a deadly, nationwide pandemic. It's the so-called "pro-lifers" who are completely indifferent to women's rights, worker rights, student rights to protest..etc.I'm sorry that upsets you.
But that response is mainly due to liberals saying that about everything the right does, that people will invariably suffer and die because of anything the right does. They have cried wolf for the past 15 years, and a lot of people have gotten tired of it. Indifference is the result. Trump is the result.
let's see, hopefully, Trump's policies won't kill us.You chose to rely on fear instead of waiting for clarification.
Were you genuinely confused and afraid, you would have at least waited for clarification instead of immediately leaping onto a forum to claim this order would put millions of people at risk of dying.
That is an emotional argument. When people have no argument, they play on emotion.
I can’t stay silent while millions of people stand on the brink of losing the coverage that keeps them alive. The recent executive order to freeze federal grants, which effectively guts Medicaid funding, is a direct assault on anyone who depends on these benefits to survive.
Oh, dear.Much worse. He was holding back in his first term, this is his last term, so he's going kookoo 4 cocoa puffs.
Medicaid is paid through block grants to states, and that's what Trump "paused"/cut indefinitely. Then the whole Medicaid system was down, not allowing hospitals to log in and receive funding. So of course, there was panic. I'm learning more about it now. I'm reading new articles on it.Boob, drop dead with your BS. No Medicaid has been stopped.
I can’t stay silent while millions of people stand on the brink of losing the coverage that keeps them alive. The recent executive order to freeze federal grants, which effectively guts Medicaid funding, is a direct assault on anyone who depends on these benefits to survive. It’s not just bureaucratic red tape; it’s a life-or-death matter for seniors in nursing homes, individuals in hospice care, and people of all ages who require medications like insulin just to get through the day.
Seniors and individuals with disabilities in long-term care facilities rely heavily on Medicaid as their primary source of payment. If federal matching funds are paused, those facilities could lose a major portion of their reimbursement. That leaves nursing homes and hospice services scrambling to reduce staff, limit available beds, or even shut their doors. The ripple effects would be disastrous. People could be uprooted from the places they call home, cut off from caregivers who know their needs, and forced into chaotic, sometimes life-threatening transfers.
Then there are the millions of low-income individuals who rely on Medicaid to cover crucial medications. The cost of something like insulin should never stand between a person and their next breath, yet without Medicaid, it can. When people lose coverage, they skip prescriptions, their conditions deteriorate, and they end up in emergency rooms, assuming they make it that far. This so-called “freeze” on funding doesn’t eliminate healthcare needs; it only makes them more expensive and more dangerous by pushing people to seek crisis care rather than preventive treatment.
I reject this psychotic policy for many reasons. First, there is a basic moral responsibility to ensure that no one is cast aside when it comes to healthcare, especially not the elderly, the disabled, or the chronically ill. Second, it’s a reckless economic gamble. Cutting people off from preventive care does nothing but explode healthcare costs in the long run.And third, it’s the height of cruelty that we can find endless resources for corporate bailouts and tax breaks for the wealthy yet claim there’s no money for the most vulnerable among us.
This isn’t about abstract numbers or political talking points. It’s about real people whose lives are hanging in the balance. I vehemently condemn any action that strips Medicaid funding from those who depend on it for basic survival. I call on every official with a conscience, from state attorneys general to local representatives, to challenge this order in court and to work tirelessly to protect the people they swore to serve. You don’t play budgetary games with people’s health and lives. If there’s enough money to prop up corporations, there is absolutely no justification for turning our backs on the millions who rely on Medicaid for dignity, stability, and, quite literally, their next breath.

Your assumption that every person who falls ill is somehow to blame for their sickness is MORONIC and ignores the realities of our healthcare system. Not everyone can just “lose 100 lbs” or “stop abusing drugs” with a snap of the fingers. People get sick for countless reasons that have nothing to do with their personal choices, and a just society doesn’t turn its back on them. If we have the means to provide care, we should. It’s that simple.Here's a thought - take charge of your own health. You fools who depend on the gooberment to take care of you are a lost cause anyway.
Here's some pointers:
Stop eating garbage food and lose 100 lbs.
Stop abusing alcohol.
Stop smoking.
Stop abusing drugs.
Get off the couch and get some exercise.
Get a job.
See there? No Medicaid needed. You're welcome.
That's not what some government officials were saying. Hospitals were unable to receive payments.The portal was down for an afternoon but payments were not disrupted. I think you had some sort of Mis- communication.
It is not moronic - MORON. Quit depending on other people for your own well-being. MORON.Your assumption that every person who falls ill is somehow to blame for their sickness is MORONIC and ignores the realities of our healthcare system.

It’s that simple.
The truth is that healthcare in this country is exorbitantly expensive, and wage stagnation makes it even harder for people to afford essential medical treatments. Our federal government, which issues its own currency, doesn’t “run out of money” the way state or local governments can. It has the capacity to invest in the health of its citizens just as it invests in corporate bailouts and military budgets. A population that can see a doctor without risking bankruptcy is healthier, more productive, and happier.
You're definitely an idiot. Are you an all-powerful being who floats above the rest of us? No one lives in a vacuum or is completely independent (Only God is). You depend on the roads you drive on, the police force and the courts that protect your property, and the entire system that ensures your paycheck doesn’t bounce. You rely on the farmers, the truckers, the grocery store workers, and everyone else who makes modern life possible.It is not moronic - MORON. Quit depending on other people for your own well-being. MORON.
I'm glad the courts are intervening.Courts will put the EO on hold.

Really, all of the people who rely on Medicaid, and are going to get cut off and probably die, are unjustly complaining and just having a child-tantrum? Are you a millionaire that can pay his medical bills cash? You haven't been denied coverage yet? You've never been in a situation where you need Medicaid? You'd be surprised how life can turn on you and you end up in a situation where you need it.
Heads a-poppin', Democrats fear-mongering like weasels. This is great!
Yeah, this is a little beyond a crazy coincidence.The governor of Illinois says that the White House / OPM says that the reason that all of the Medicaid portals are dark is because of a "glitch".
That's a very specific "glitch" :-(
