Oh yeah, thats the masterplan. Cut spending for kids healthcare. Get even sicker (and less, but that is not the Point) adults than before, because fuck prevention. Say that these people are leeches off the system and unworthy of citizenship. Incarcerate them for slave labour.
Is that guy a corrupt landlord. He looks like a corrupt landlord. I know he's a governor and his arteries are clogged, and I shouldn't judge a book by its blotted face.
I swear the GOP in charge must have all been promised a cool $B each to follow along with this. They know what is at stake here - the entire US hegemony is rapidly collapsing around us and our institutions built over hundreds of years are crumbling. But they'll personally get money and be a fieflord so that's fine I guess.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is how pitiful humans are.
You would think people who are higher ups in healthcare care systems would have good healthcare benefits. Reality is no. They still have to go through red tapes and get rejected for their care.
Like, how tf are you ruining a system meanwhile you personally also suffering from it?
I also wonder if they'll make sure the red states aren't hit as hard. I know the way the bill is written, we assume it'll be enforced equally, and since red states receive more federal assistance they'll be hit the worst. But what's stopping them from selectively fucking blue states?
Nah, they don't care about their constituents. By now they know that if you're still voting conservative you've already drank the Kool-aid. If you were going to vote them out for cutting Medicaid you would have voted them out years ago when they refused to expand Medicaid.
The only reason it won't hurt some conservative states just as much as blue states is because there was already less healthcare infrastructure to begin with. My state has already shut down the majority of rural hospitals when we refused to accept free money from the Fed to expand Medicaid for like a decade.
killing our constituents to own the libs
everyone dies
Senator Ernst to her worried constituents
The absolute best part was her mocking "apology" video where she made some snide comment about the tooth fairy not being real and almost immediately started talking about Jesus and God.
It's absolutely exhausting
While also doing her apology in a fucking graveyard

Thank you, thank you so much for this. Much more than I was hoping for but utterly perfect
