Paging Mr. Mueller.
Paging Mr. Mueller.
Time to drop the bombshells…
Can you even image what this would do to the stock values of privately owned insurance companies…by shifting billions even trillions from the public sector to the private sector…on the backs of states and at the expense of insurance consumers… Just think what that would do for Azars self wroth once he ditches once he’s made billions…
I’m glad that Republicans are so strongly in favor of “more state empowerment.” Except for medical marijuana, of course.
Azar is also against government drug price negotiation. Huh.
Ha! Try, just try, to take a machete to Medicaid in an election year. I could use a disaster-porn show pick-me-up.
This guy wants to change the name of the department to Ill-Health and Inhumane Services.
Perhaps images of white grandmas being dumped into the streets outside of their nursing homes will be enough to wake Red State voters up from their racist slumber? Because a whole, heaping lot of Medicaid’s budget is consumed by long-term eldercare for the white and formerly middle class…
Mueller is not going to save us from Trump any more than Patrick Fitzgerald saved us from Cheney/Bush. We’ll need to do that hard work ourselves…
Incentives can be reoriented in a very positive way for more state empowerment
Really glad I didn’t have my expensive new BS meter plugged in when I read that.
I’m sure that Hillary’s second HHS nominee would have taken the same positions on Medicaid and the ACA…after her first Secretary of HHS was forced to resign after less than a year on the job after taking so many private jets at taxpayer expense. Because, there’s no difference, you know.
If he thinks that reductions in growth rate aren’t cuts, then let him invest only in stocks of companies whose revenue growth is declining.
This is from Politico
Azar is widely expected to be confirmed as HHS secretary with broad Republican support and perhaps even votes from some centrist Democrats impressed by his pragmatism and policy expertise. But Democrats warned they’ll closely press him on lowering drug prices, one of Americans’ top health care concerns.
I wrote my Senators to oppose, but who the f*ck are those “centrist Democrats”?
This from WaPo
Pressed by Democrats, he also addressed the issue of requiring that able-bodied adults work or prepare for jobs to qualify for Medicaid — an approach gaining currency within the administration. Azar said he did not have a definition of able-bodied but did not distance himself from the idea.
I’m sure their definition of “able bodied” would be anyone that is not them… who can draw breath on their own.
Better yet, show them dumping white grandmas into their adult kids’ basements or back bedrooms - because that is what will happen. Those of us with elderly parents who do quite well on Social Security and Medicare would have our lives completely upended if we had to provide the primary physical and financial care for our folks.
Azar is a greedy skank and pharmaceutical toady…just what the destructive old drumpf wants from his unqualified nominees… Every last one of the facist Ingrates and crooks like himself…
Destroying the lives of millions to profit…Reprehensible…
Based on Trumpp’s comments, Clinton’s first HHS Secretary would have been caught taking a planeload of uranium to Russia.
Based on Jill Stein’s comments, the Secretary would have been caught trying to take a plane to Russia to drop a nuclear weapon.
Parasitical pseudo-capitalist.
All part of the Ebenezer Trump plan to “decrease the surplus population.”
