I've been phonebanking for the last two weeks constituents in Republican states to urge them to contact their senators (very successful phonebanks). Please join me courtesy of Indivisible.org
Mitch McConnell is the quintessential ladder kicker, having received socialized medicine as a child for treatment of his polio at the (Franklin Delano) Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute.
No money from Medicaid goes to the recipients of Medicaid. The money from Medicaid is paid to doctors, to hospitals, to pharmacists, to nursing homes. So, billions of dollars cut from Medicaid are billions removed from the health care system. I'd like to hear a discussion, Jen, about the effect of Medicaid cuts on health care in the U.S., because if hospitals close or doctors relocate, all of us, with whatever insurance, are going to suffer.
It's possible for a bill to be this bad because they jammed all of their policies into it. In a way, it's the best illustration and proof there is of exactly what we opponents have been saying: they can't pay for huge increases in brutality and destruction - human removal, war materiel - and also continue to pay for life-supporting assistance for the people who are actually paying taxes. I read somewhere that Jeff Bezos pays an effective rate of 1.1% of his income in taxes. If people making the median income or less also paid 1.1%, they might not need things like help paying for food.
Fabulous conversation. Need to listen again and take notes so I'm armed when making my calls to Congress.
But overall, this conversation is another wakeup call that our health care system is broken. I was in the fight to pass the ACA. It was a brutal fight. And here we are not improving on keeping costs to less than 8% of income but even doing away with that key provision for affordability. And so much more.
After we regain rule of law, can we do health care reform? I'm not so sure.
Another blow to the blowhard - Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has ruled that key health care issues in the "rich get richer, poor get poorer and sicker" bill need to be stripped out of the package, sending Senate Republicans back to the drawing board, infuriating you know who.
"By now, the aim of Trump’s reconciliation bill is as clear as day: tax cuts for billionaires and corporations via cuts to working people’s healthcare." They are hell-bent on white supremacy.
As for logic, they don't know the meaning of the word and don't show any either!
However, there is another world waiting for the people with the likes of Trump. I suggest he changes his game plan. At 79 years of age, he is down to months not years.
50,000 additional deaths removes persons from the tax rolls. We might save on EITC, we lose on FICA collections. What specific effects will these have on the deficit and cash available to subsidize the struggling billionaires?
Not to mention the fact that in order to make up for lost revenue, hospitals and health systems will charge those of us with non Medicare/Medicaid insurance more to recoup their losses.
Republicans don’t give a rip about anyone especially poor working class people. They are the swamp that should have been drained. They’re reptiles.
