It's all the same system, broken, unaccountable, with millions of dollars being wasted.jerrab » 05 Mar 2025, 11:45 am » wrote: ↑ nothing to with cutting benefits for poor living people. asshole
It's quite amusing you scoff at this information, I had no idea you were such a fan of health insurance companies getting over on the idiots in government by getting paid for services NOT rendered.

I didn't say they were, fool!
I said that since they found so much waste in a relatively small department like USAID, which has a $40 billion budget, can you imagine how much waste Musk and Trump will identify when they BEGIN to investigate the fraud and waste in Medicaid, when that budget is more than 20 times larger?
They HAVE NOT YET BEGUN to investigate the Medicaid fraud and waste!
And even after just recently learning that these idiots have been paying MILLIONS of Social Security recipients that would have to be over 110 years old, SOME OLDER THAN THE 1776 FOUNDING OF AMERICA, do you STILL think they won't find any waste and fraud in Medicaid when they start looking at that department?
Yet you're ALREADY trying to defend ANY cuts to Medicaid, and we both know you're going to look like a total imbecile when THOSE amounts of fraud are exposed! The audit of Medicaid will undoubtedly show that there have been thousands of doctors and shady clinics that are raping the **** out of Medicaid!
Don't YOU think so?

Damn Karen, it's State and Federal Medicaid money being wasted blatantly.
You are having a hissy fit over something that hasn't happened yet while ignoring actual waste that has been going on for years in Medicaid.
It's time for an overhaul!

Republicans in the U.S. House have forwarded a number of proposals to slash Medicaid in order to help pay for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts pushed by President Donald Trump, along with other priorities including border security. The U.S. House is expected to vote on a budget resolution this week.

I could be wrong but when these states were going through with Medicaid expansion, they knew full well that those Federal funds were not permanent and would result in the state being on the hook.ROG62 » 05 Mar 2025, 3:27 pm » wrote: ↑ lol...it's amazing how people go into full mode panic meltdown over a rumor...

Most people agree Medicaid is a worthwhile program. Both of my Wife's parents died on Medicaid in a long term memory care unit. Dad for two years and mom for four years. The six years prior to that of living in assisted living facilities burned through their life savings. I've been through the 5 year look back of finances to qualify for Medicaid. I'm glad the program exists.
Get back to us when you know exactly where these cuts are being made instead of a bunch of hair on fire opinions.

https://www.cbpp.org/press/statements/h ... uge-taxThe House Republican budget passed today calls for massive cuts in health coverage, food assistance, and help paying for college, among some other areas, to pay for huge tax giveaways for wealthy households and businesses. This betrays President Trump’s campaign promises to protect families who struggle financially, as well as his specific pledge to not cut Medicaid, which provides health coverage for 72 million people. While raising costs for families and increasing both poverty and the number of people without health coverage, the budget would swell deficits — all to further Republicans’ expensive and skewed tax agenda.Both the House and Senate budgets significantly miss the mark on what should be their basic goals: lowering costs, increasing opportunity, and responsibly addressing our nation’s long-term priorities, including reducing future economic risks associated with high deficits. But the enormity of program cuts called for by the House budget stands as a singular threat to the well-being of people in every state, city, and rural community, threatening to take away their health coverage, make health care more expensive, and make it harder to afford food and college.Fuelman » 05 Mar 2025, 4:00 pm » wrote: ↑ I didn't vote for Trump.

https://itep.org/house-budget-resolutio ... b]February 26, 2025[/b]The budget resolution passed by House Republicans yesterday will enrich the richest, blow up the deficit, and decimate vital public services. If adopted by the Senate, this framework will allow lawmakers to move forward on enacting President Trump’s tax plans through “reconciliation” legislation that cannot be filibustered in the Senate and therefore can pass without any Democratic votes. The budget resolution allows Congress to pass reconciliation legislation with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts – or more if Republicans’ spending cuts exceed the targets in the resolution – that would mostly flow to the wealthiest families in the country.Congressional Republicans have no way to pay for the massive tax cuts promised by President Trump during his campaign other than to dismantle fundamental parts of the government and increase the federal budget deficit.Fuelman » 05 Mar 2025, 4:00 pm » wrote: ↑ I didn't vote for Trump.
