52 Healthcare.gov(s) canât be built cheap and overnight. In MA it took 4 years and CA had the best tech help in their state. Poor WA relied on Oracle and look what happened to them.
Medicaid Directors donât mean squat to Republican Senators who are taking their marching orders from a couple of octogenarian Kansas billionaires whose hatred of Medicaid and Medicare is surpassed only by their hatred of taxes.
What I donât understand is why more prominent Dems arenât hammering the point that millions of middle-class Americansâmany of them white Trump votersâare kept from bankruptcy by virtue of Medicaid picking up the tab for Grandmaâs residence in the nursing home.
They want to kill Medicaid anywayâŚthis just will fuel that desire.
Just more âKnow-nothingâ Jimmy KimmelâsâŚ
Sad!
Anyone who votes for this bill is simply a sociopath. And shame on those directors unwilling to put their name on the letter even though they agree with it. People will die and youâre worried about your bullshit job.
McConnellâs Titanic is aiming specifically and knowingly for the iceberg.
And he doesnât care, 'cause the money guys are holding a gun to his head. Plus he hates the black dude.
Wow! You really nailed it, bluestatedon.
Beat me to it. A tough spot is when a loved one needs live saving medical care and youâre struggling to pay the rent.
Hillbillies are going to have to suffer before their tiny brains understand. Dumbest white people on the planet.
Itâs not just grandmas. Plenty of folks who got injured or sick in their younger years,became permanently disabled,need constant care and had no insurance are in Medicaid funded facilities.
But what can you do. âRepeal and replaceâ was such a catchy campaign slogan. People loved it. So we gotta deliver! Donât blame us!
As one whose Momâs 5 1/2 year stint in a nursing home with dementia, me and my siblings would have bankrupted our own retirements had there been no Medicaid for her. Further, she worked her entire life, as a widow with 4 children, retired from a textile factory in this Southern red state with only Social Security as her only financial resource.
The manufacturing plant had relocated South from the Northeast in the 50âs specifically because of cheap labor and no requirement to provide a pension plan to its employees. They were entirely dependent on the largess of the state.
And a reminder that the time a state went full bore catering to the will of the Koch Brothers⌠is in a world of hurt, embraced the announcement of the gov to take an ambassadorship for âreligious freedomâ (whatever that is)⌠and well⌠the Senators are fools not to take a little heed.
For anyone who missed this article - its a bit long - but exceptional.

Ooops, for the grammar mistake. Shud be âI and my siblingsâ
Unfortunately, other people who didnât ask for any of this will suffer, too.
And each senator who put their name on this bill - if it passes, it will be their legacy. What lasting impact they leave in their wake wonât be remembered for giving the president a win, nor for opening the koch brotherâs pocketbooks to the GOP again, it will be the human toll taken, the resulting bankruptcies, and the for a couple of the cosponsors the ultimate violation of the Hippocratic Oath they took as new mds.
We know thisâŚthis isnât happening because people donât know whatâs what, even Joe Scarborough says trickle down doesnât work.
Donât you get that everyone is out in the open now? The white supremacists, the financial elitesâŚyou canât educate people and expect that to solve the problem. Itâs beyond that now.
We knew that already, but you canât save people who donât want to be saved.
Whaaat?! Donât they know that state-level is where all the magic happens? Theyâre like entrepreneurs of the government world and can do all kinds of amazing things if only the Feds unshackle them from their useless redtape and corrupt shenanigans. All we need to do is let governors use their innate ability to solve everything to solve everything and weâll have everything solved. What could be simpler than that?
This has to be fake news. Conservatives have built an entire religion based on the idea that states are better at solving every problem unless theyâre run by Democrats. Why, if weâre to imagine that states canât perform impossible feats of magic using less money to cover more people, itâd mean that this entire bill was a fraud that only makes everything worse including for the morons passing it. Now letâs stop talking about this and focus on important things, like Crooked Hillaryâs emails and why liberals hate America so much.
