Scaring the elderly. Typical dem-rat strategy.

Wow if Trump loses all the people on Medicaid that are voting for him he won’t win one single state.

Wait...

“Medicaid is the backbone of the U.S. health care system; you weaken the backbone and the whole system gets scoliosis,” said”

It’s not the ‘backbone’ it’s the LEECH.

I bet a lot of these high level participants have been cooking the books for a long time, to get more of that sweet federal money.

When it’s time for cutbacks, the bureaucratic rule is to cut the meat and leave the fat, and push the women and children out of the way to get to the lifeboats.

If only it would!

We need to honor the Constitution, not the legacies of past lawless administrations and their unlawful dogooding.

I’m just glad to live in Texas, where our idiot former governor, Rick Perry, did get this one right and knew that expanding Medicaid under Obamacare was some kind of a TRAP...even though most other Republican governors and all Democrat governors looked at it as ‘free money’.

[Huskrrrr]

And let’s not forget the drowning polar bears.

Who actually receives Medicaid? How many recipients could have avoided Medicaid and been able to afford regular health insurance had they applied themselves to their studies and subsequently got a good job? I have ZERO pity for those people who need Medicaid and other welfare because they were walking the halls of their school when they should have been in class, or failing to study for exams or turn in projects or homework. So people who DID apply themselves and worked hard get rewarded by having to pay for the less responsible goof-offs.

And how many illegals are helping themselves to Medicaid? We already know how they clog up our hospitals by using them as a family doctor, how they have forced hospitals into bankruptcy necessitating their closing and how that has caused people, especially those in rural areas to die for lack of a nearby hospital.

Medicaid is like the student loan crisis. It is government money, often corruptly spent, supporting an army of insiders and skimmers, pushing a cycle of ever-higher-costs, leading to more demand for aid, leading to an ever-larger political constituency.

Wash-rinse-repeat.

[[“States may be unable to adequately fund their Medicaid programs, which could lead to unintended consequences that would negatively impact Medicaid beneficiaries across the country,”]]

You can bet5 that illegals and immigrants will not be affected- only law abiding senior and disabled and veteran citizens will be affected-

[faithhopecharity]

Lower the federal income tax across the boards. States, who are the responsible level of government for welfare type programs, can then step up to the plate on Medicaid type programs if they wish

[Roccus]

“States may be unable to adequately fund their Medicaid programs, which could lead to unintended consequences that would negatively impact Medicaid beneficiaries across the country,”

Then perhaps these governors should start enforcing the Medicaid estate recovery acts that all states have in one form or another.

[zerosix]

Yeah right: “Governors from both political parties complain tighter scrutiny by Trump” FDS could cause poor people and those who serve them to lose care and money.

Further reading of AP’s (undocumented?)Ricardo Alonzo-Zaldivar’s scare threat article, tells me the lone Republican gov. hails from Romney’s former state - Massachusetts!

One should have guessed, another Romney pinko!
