All this means is that poor people will go to the emergency care centers more, making health care more expensive for everyone.

I’m sorry for all normal Texans but senate and governor races aren’t gerrymandered. I’m grateful I live in a blue state and best of luck.

Respectfully, how does that explain the POS Cruz being re-elected?

The beautiful thing about Republicans racing to destroy Medicaid, Medicare and ObamaCare is the inevitable financial collapse of the entire American Healthcare Industry.

Cutting Medicaid is not only inhumane but is expensive. People who have no medical insurance won’t go to the doctor when ill, will get sicker, end up in the emergency room and then hospital care. Not being able to pay the bills, the government will have to step in.

Yeah it’s the Dems fault. Okkayy

They only need a filibuster-proof majority if they refuse to change the filibuster rule. Since at least the 90s, it's been the Democrats excuse for not doing anything as radical for us as Republicans do for billionaires.

It’s always Texas doing the worst shit possible. I hate it here

Got to love the final quote from a retired construction worker who voted for the Felon47… I agree “there’s too much fat” and government should be cut back but I don’t think they’re going to yank health care away from people,” he said. “If they do, I’d be really angry.” FAFO.

They never took it away. What they did was allow a 2-tier system to emerge where the rich could use private insurance meaning you could opt out of the public system. My wife is Chilean and a doctor. My father-in-law was a doctor and med school professor in Chile during that whole period.

Texas is the leading state that is adhering verbatim to Project2025 aka America First. Anything those legislators try to pass that is not bipartisan should be fought hard because other states will be following suit.

Because that's what a 'christian' nation does, right? It abandons the needy because the Dept of Defense needs more bombs 🙄

Do people in Texas breed with cows to get as dumb as they are?

Just the start of what's to come.

Texas can f@ck off.

Love the fetus, hate the human.

Given the abysmal voter turnout, it sure seems like most Texans don't care.

Remember when Republicans accused the architects of Obamacare with enacting death panels? Turns out it was projection all along.

Republicans don’t care about people, just making the wealthy richer and the powerful more powerful

What could possibly go wrong?

Texas doesn't want you if you're sick.

They are all in love with dying and they're doing it in Texas. With no healthcare, capital flight is a guaranteed outcome.

Unfortunately, corporations make those decisions. They own Congress.

Oh no…yeah f@ck off, Texas.

We are going on 9 months with my mother Medicaid pending in her Texas nursing home. Her 123 page application was submitted at the end of April 2024. They asked for further documentation, most of it already supplied in the original app. We have requested status updates twice with no response.

I was denied, and I am dying more quickly as a result.

Just sit out elections or vote for Repubs...great way to improve those numbers, right?

Proving once again that TX Republicans don't give a flying f*** about babies AFTER they are born. I hate this state.

I used to think the point of government was to help the most vulnerable. That was naive. The government wants to help the rich and powerful. So much for protecting the meek like Jesus commanded.

Look here

S-hole state

To play on the cliché; Texas is a mess.

So let them, let Red States see what happens when you listen to the GOP. Now is the time for Blue States to rise up and prove they are better at wroking for the people. As one living in Denmark now, I can say, not one state in America is better for the people. Democrats are failing too. #6'Elon

Stand up and fight this.

Fafo

Well played, MAGA. Well played. Freakin' morons.

This is heartbreaking. It’s like one way for them to de-populate, USA the vulnerable and low income will die without Medicaid.

Hey Texas, trying voting.

It's what Texans wanted.

Does cutting Medicaid insurance for the poor and disabled make us healthier? Or safer?

The halfwits running Texas are flag-waving, Bible-thumping, hate-spreading demons, not real people!

If the responsibility for cuts in social programs falls on the party responsible for those cuts, there will be mass disillusionment with Republicans.

When it comes to health care, don't mess with Texas

I guess one of the good questions is truly "why?" and expecting a thorough answer. This isn't arguing over paint colours. This is about keeping your community solid.

Cruelty is the point!

"As many as 44,789 Americans of working age die each year because they lack health insurance, more than the number who die annually from kidney disease. The study comes at a pivotal moment in history, as Congress considers legislation to expand health insurance coverage." pnhp.org/news/lack-of...

THAT will help with the price of eggs.

This is just slow-moving violence.

Grrrrrrrrrr

Gutting healthcare creates more unhealthy people. Sick people cannot run circles in the profit wheel. If you want lots of people running in the wheel, you're going to need health care.

I feel no sympathy for any Magats, I do feel for people who had brains enough not to vote for the orange dipshit!

Because poor people don't need healthcare

Believe that.

This is what rural Texas wanted. So.......good luck.

There’s no real culture in Texas anymore. There maybe pockets that are unique, but a large portion of it is big truck/SUV driving gym bros and influencer moms going to their local Chuy’s drinking shitty margs and then going to church on Sunday.

U.S. healthcare coverage is a laughing stock when compared to other countries.
