And MAGA’s response: “Thanks a lot, Obama. And Hillary. And Hunter Biden.” The other part of the bill, the $45 Billion for ICE, will make it very difficult for anyone to speak out against it, or him.

Of also great alarm in this bill is the President and admin usurping to power of the judiciary to enforce constitutional laws. Of course he already doing that but now it will be legal.

Not to mention health insurance premiums will rise dramatically…grandparents will be tossed from care institutions and we all will be sicker poorer more hungry and miserable

Valley Med, Public Hospital District 1 in Renton, Washington is already on the brink, this will make that hospital close.

It’s all by design by people backed by hostile foreign actors to break the back of this nation and off we go like lambs to the slaughter

They have already started laying off healthcare workers.

This is on Trump voters. They voted for this.

God forgive me for saying this but…good. He must set the entire place on actual fire several times over before we even have a shot at change.

Yeah me either

Had the country maxed out at a 6th grade reading level. We’re just not very bright.

When we protest, the cops beat us and the press complements them for doing it. We are a heavily propagandized police state. That’s why.

Wait until you hear about the police state!

If you don't understand gerrymandering, boy oh boy, I hope you've got some free time to Google.

😱 bsky.app/profile/dlaj...

very quickly though? Medicaid cuts are phased in and don't take effect right away.

It sounds like the healthcare system is about to become a real-life game of Jenga, and we're all just waiting for the inevitable collapse.

Awful

Well the slow burn hasn't gotten any attention, so let's add a little kerosene.

Hospitals plan budgeting in multi year stretches, and knowing that your overall revenue will shrink over the next 5 years without any expected replacement means layoffs, service cuts and closures. Everyone is gonna get hurt but red states will suffer even more without intervention which is unlikely.

Fast forward one year from now: "this is all happening because Democrats blocked every effort we made to pass the bill we really wanted to pass! If they had just worked with us..."

As a doctor friend told me, “Don’t get sick anytime soon.”

I work with a rural Tribal clinic and all last week we were having discussions of what would need to be cut as a result of this fiasco Senate version of the bill is even worse, disgusting 🔥🤬

🫂

You say that like we'll still have a government to run things. I'm not sure it'll last that long.

And Republicans don't care. #RepublicansAreKillingUs! #Medicare #Medicaid #Obamacare

That sounds like it might be bad for them, if anyone actually reports on it faithfully.

Killing them softly. Every one less is one better.

I wonder if those new camps will be for workhouses for all the magats that end up in the street and/or orphaned by the deaths and bankruptcies due to the loss of Medicaid.

Look at what happened in KS under Brownback. His refusal to expand Medicaid led to the closing of several rural hospitals, job losses, greater strain on the healthcare system in general, & of course worse health outcomes for those who relied on those hospitals. Repugs' bill will be that on steroids.

So, if the wealthy injure themselves skiing in Big Sky Montana…the hospital will be closed, so I guess helicopter to Salt Lake or Boise?

I keep hearing that this is going to have immediate effects, like that hospital closing in Nebraska right away. But then I hear people say that the Medicaid cuts don't come until after the midterms, not until the end of 2026. Can anyone reconcile these two claims?

Rural healthcare is gonna take the biggest hit

Del Monte is bankrupt? The canned fruit people or do they do something else?

Well at least we have tariffs!

But it won't be because when do the cuts/work requirements kick in?

Let's pray it hits red states the hardest.

Professionally, I finance only FQHCs (nonprofit health centers servicing mostly folks on Medicaid) with debt and tax credits (NMTCs). This is devastating but FQHCs are resilient AF, and they'll find a way.

We’re going back pre ACA and Biden’s expansion of Medicaid when hospitals treat people in emergency rooms because they can’t access preventative and regular care. And we all end up paying for it with higher insurance when medical costs go thru the roof It is inhumane and unjust

We need to start hearing from therapists who handle clients who have committed atrocities. They're all in now. After COVID, Jan 6, snatching immigrants... there is just clearly no way back for a person's sense that they are a good person. It's like they've been ethically blackmailed.

Wait till the MAGAs start getting phone calls from nusing homes to come and get demented granny as there is no funding for her to stay. Oh, and they are closing.

Our doctor is leaving for Victoria BC.

An American Culling

Oh. So that means the effects will be appearing...really soon.

That makes sense. It takes basic intelligence to think ahead a few steps. They don't possess that. So the Karma WILL hit them appropriately

Nursing home and other facilities all over are going to be shutting down and kicking residents OUT! Quickly! These admins have ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE DOLLAR! Watch and see!!

The GOP and Trump are at war with America. They are a terrorist entity bent on taking and maintain power for their own personal benefits. Autocratic theocracy funded by right wing oligarchs. No interest in the betterment of the masses. The masses are slave labor for the lowest price.

bsky.app/profile/publ... ”I used to work on rural health policy for the govt, you need to understand—medicaid cuts in this bill will have devestating impacts on urban/suburban access to health care. Medicaid $ already keep a lot of ERs, hospitals, pediatrician's offices, & clinics afloat.”

Some of them probably don't even have to leave their homes for 90% of their healthcare

Shades of the catastrophic care fiasco in the 1980's

I don't trust the American people enough to put away their racism, antisemitism and islamophobia to think that this will harm the GOP in any way. They will keep touching the stove, burns and all, to keep "others" from accessing services.

Catastrophe for who? The poors? Isn’t that the point?

How wonderful! I can't wait for it to pass.

Yes, but those who voted for this won’t notice or tie it into the big bill. Just like people can’t connect the dots of their ill health months after COVID.

I'm genuinely baffled by this. Are they dumb? These Republicans voting for this? Or are they not afraid of future elections? I mean, it's absolutely nuts to try to do what they are trying to do. Even for sociopaths.

They’ll blame Biden

have the day you voted for.

The more rural red state republicans this bill hurts, the better. This is what they voted for.

But not right away. Not until after the midterm elections.

It’s all rah rah maga until your rural hospital closes and you’re having a heart attack

When there's an emergency Save Medicaid bill in 9 months it will be the Dems voting along with a handful of GOP to restore funding, freezing out the phony deficit hawks.

I hate, hate, hate that this will happen, but I hope he is right that it will happen quickly, before the midterms, so people might finally see the harm Republicans are doing anD VOTE THEM OUT!

I read that the cuts start after midterms in 2026, so they'll all get re-elected before the carnage starts

Mass strike. We need to walk off our jobs and out of stores and don’t shop online and let’s fucking go! Walk. Jesus did it. He said drop that shit let’s go! When change is due, we need to collect. If we stop feeding these beasts, we can make America halt. Only WE CAN DO IT. Those of us that can must

Trump will pawn responsibility off on the states and try to get them to pay for it

📌

💔

😭😭😭

But the slightly-less-dead Koch bro and Harlan Crow and all their fellow travelers will enjoy the suffering their employees caused

What about the delayed action in the cuts?

No. They are getting their own cuts,. Billions.

Police at hospital doors to turn people away??? Can you imagine that?

Beware! The cruel, vile and corrupt Republicans in Congress voted to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and heinous! They must be stopped! Vote them all out! 🖕

Republican Lisa Murkowski is a sellout! Disgraceful! No integrity! No class! 🖕

The Fascist Republican Party rammed through a genocide bill! This horrendous bill will kill people by taking away their health insurance!

I have 4 rural hospitals around me. We don't have a major hospital within 90 miles. I hope all these wonderful magas around here enjoy what's about to happen. I, myself, plan to use the ERs like my personal gp after I lose Medicaid.

Also hoping the Democratic house will restore the spending or come up with the way to save the hospital

Not 2027⬇️

how does ANY of this make any sense?

I'm with you. Also, love the profile...I love Snoopy!

It will. Health care is struggling as it is.

Yeah didn’t see this but thanks

They don’t give two shites

I wish I thought that would make Republicans less likely to be elected…

And this is why I was adamant that the surgery I needed was scheduled this past January. I knew after the election that we were fucked.

Only if you care about people…

Ugh

Thank you for straight straightforward answer.

Who is actually writing these bills? Which nonprofit? Heritage Foundation? There is no analysis of the cascading impact of less US dollars spent on healthcare facilities including rural hospitals and nutritional programs which help local farmers. ???Less tax revenues

Have you noticed that everyone is accountable except Conservatives? Like seriously, you can’t be a Democrat and sh*t the bed and have a political career. A Republican can have 35 felony convictions and a charity closed down for fraud and be elected POTUS. You can storm the capital and get a pardon.

Every single person, and every single state will be affected by what these Russian Republicans in the House and Senate have done for decades,all to give the TACO GESTAPO and the millionaires and billionaires something that they don’t really need. Stop voting for these Russian Republican KOCHSUCKERS

And it will be Biden’s fault in 3…. 2….. 1..
