Even a Trump critic will have to agree that the medicid has a problem of fraud and misuse.
But the problem with Medicid is not to prove that people are as poor working to cheat or fail to fill paperwork. No, the problem is the health care “provider” that gamble to the system, overbilling and pocketing the profit, knowing that they will rarely face real results. These corporate bad people are doing medicid drains label Health care by critics as a “crime family”.
But they are avoiding cheating punishment because President Trump targets the middle class and poor people who rely on the Medicade. And many of them have their own voters.
Trump promised not to cut his medicine benefits. He This clearly stated, vow That “we are not going to do anything with it, if we can find some misconduct or waste … but people will not be affected.”
Nevertheless, under the trump-supported law, federal funding will be cut to help the doctor’s visit and the cost of nursing homes. This trump damages large parts of voters, which attract the attention of therapy to the medicine.
But grab. Sen Mich McConel (R-K), GOP as a leader of the former Senate majority, a terrible protector of political interests and often Trump critics, voted for the bill.
“I know that many of us are listening back home about Medicid,” McConel Allegedly stated His Senate Gop colleagues at a closed door lunch. “But they will finish it.”
Finish it, senator?
McConelle is not alone in his decision that voters will see in another way, ignoring the return of medical treatment provided by Medicid. Vice President JD Vance Said last week Medicade cuts are “abstinence”. Sen Joni Ernst (R-Ayova) dismisses anxiety by Medicid Telling a townhall That “we are all going to die.”
There is a dissatisfaction between some Republicans that Trump created a labor-class, populist base, which includes a lot of people on the Medicade.
Pay attention Steve bananFormer Trump associate and far-flung podcaster: “A lot of Magas is on Medicade. If you don’t think so, you are wrong. You can’t just take a meat ax.” The numbers indicate that the banan is correct.
More than 20 million are on Republican Medicade. In Recent focus group Along with Trump voters in states such as Kentaki, Ohio and Northern Carolina, many said that Trump did not expect such deep medicade cuts – and they are worried about what it means.
Another famous Trump supporter, Elon Musk, is also saying that Trump is damaging his political base by failing to effectively cut the government’s expenses. “Each member of the Congress launched a campaign to reduce the government’s expenses and then voted immediately for the biggest debt increase in history, he should hang his head in shame!” Musk wrote“And they will lose their primary next year if this is the last thing on this earth.”
Voting by Fox News supports these GOP critics. 1 June pole found 59 percent of the voters oppose the Trump Bill, and 45 percent of the people say they understand that Bill said it would “hurt” their family.
As NPR Last week reported“The Senate’s plan to slash Medicid and ACA Marketplace Funding can give birth to about 12 million more people without insurance by 2034 … In return, the finance of hospitals, nursing homes and community health centers will damage the finance of unlicensed people, which will have to over -absorbing the cost of treatment of people, and can forced them to reduce services and employees.”
The high number of Trump supporters who rely on rural hospitals and health centers will feel especially impact. Ruben Galgo (D-Eries) as Sen. notedThe bill will result in cutting intoxication treatment of intoxicants, including opioid and addiction care as well as a combat of fenteneel use. Those programs are funded by Medicade.
“It’s embarrassing,” House Democratic leader Hakim Jeffrees said, alert “People will die” and called the bill “all-out Republican attack on health care”. He declared the house floor a “crime scene” shortly before voting to pass it by GOP majority.
That rhetoric is not frightened. Consider some problems already by critics of Trump’s bill.
As AIDS United, 40 percent of American adults living with HIV rely on Medicade.
A brown university Searchs analysis This 579 American nursing homes are now at high risk of closure.
Caesar Family Foundation InformedMedicade pays more than 40 percent of births in rural areas and about half of births. It is the largest payer of pregnancy -related services. Cuts will be destructive especially in states such as Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Stopping abortion has been a mainstay of the GOP policy, and now many children and their mothers will suffer as a result of the cuts passed by Republican MPs who manufactured their careers as opponents of abortion.
Advocates of abortion rights are sure to make this a case that the Republicans voting for these cuts can end with more deaths on their hands than any abortion provider.
So, will the voters “end it” as McConel has suggested?
We will see The first Test comes in the Gubernatorial elections in four months Virginia And new Jersey – Where a joint 3.2 million people rely on Medicade.
