Maga/Trump's big ugly bill set to kick 14 million Americans off their health care coverage

[seajae]

another dem v republican thread, dems refusing to listen to the facts and only the dem playbook of lies and BS while republ;icans back their president. Having read  and listened to both sides all I can do is laugh as neither want the whole truth to come out. cuts are needed but they are not going to effect the ones that need them, removing illegal immigrants from everything aimed at US citizens is needed, all the argiments are not about the truth but about the way it is being spun esoecially by the left. The amount of fraud being exposed by doge that the left is heavily involved in has made them push their BS to try to stop themselves from being exposed, firebombing tesla cars etc just shows how demented they really are, the left suffers heavily from trump syndrome and the right sees nothing wrong with what is happening, the problem in the US is the fact that too many people are completely blind to anything except what they believe, this includes judges as well, they refuse to accept that anything the other side does is good for the country, all they want is their side to win elections and dont give a flying monkey about whats best for the US itself, best idea would be to arm all those whinging and let them shoot it out

[I added the emphasis] 

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!

You are talking about the president who has told more porky pies than any other in history.

 

According to Grok:

"President Donald Trump (2017–2021) has the highest number of documented false or misleading claims"

I hope that all those supporting this destruction of US health care are Americans living in the USA so they can personally experience the intended and unintended consequences of the ultra-conservative madness over the coming years.

Democratic districts will be more affected, but a significant number of Republican districts include a large proportion of people enrolled in Medicaid! 🙂

 

"In half of all Republican congressional districts, 21% or more of the population is enrolled in Medicaid; and in half of all Democratic districts, 26% or more of the population is enrolled in Medicaid."

https://www.kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/congressional-district-interactive-map-medicaid-enrollment-by-eligibility-group/

 

"There are also pockets of the country that rely significantly on the program where voters favor Republicans. Of the 218 seats Republicans control in Congress, 26 are in districts where Medicaid covers more than 30 percent of the population, according to a New York Times analysis of federal enrollment data.

All 26 of those representatives voted in favor of the House budget this week."

Hardly 

[save the frogs]

You people are putting an overly negative spin on this. 

If you can't find a job, you can still volunteer or attend school to be eligible.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/upshot/medicaid-republicans-work-requirement.html

 

The current proposal would require childless adults without disabilities who want Medicaid coverage to prove that they had worked, volunteered or attended school for 80 hours in the month before enrollment.

Hard choices have to be made to SAVE the US healthcare system.  Choices like kicking out the able bodied adults that refuse to work and the illegals who never paid a dime into the system (and shouldn't even be in the country, never mind sucking the gub'ment tit).

 

 

How  do unauthorized immigrants  access medicare or Medicaid?  When did they change the rules to grant coverage?

Medicare is for people age 65 and older. That age group  qualifies for  Social Security retirement benefits because they are retired and not working.  Do you now  demand that  able bodied 70 or 80 or 90 year olds work in order to qualify for Medicare?

The able bodied people who are  accessing Medicaid benefits are often working low wage jobs. They qualify because they are below the poverty line. Other people may be able bodied but are unemployable. Would you really want some of these misfits volunteering to work in nursing homes where they could abuse  vulnerable people?  Others are willing to work but cannot find a job in their region, while others are  turned away because they are too problematic, like too stupid to be trusted with even basic tasks. A large  portion of the USA's poor have below average intelligence levels. In plain language, they are so limited intellectually that they cannot  work, even though they are able bodied.

More liberal left wing rantings about a President that has the godads to do something about the bloat in Medicaid and other socialist programs. Of course, the left wingers never offer to help themselves by donating money to these programs. It's always the poor U.S. taxpayers that must pay for socialism that they do not want or voted for.

Can't reason either, as said living in another reality. Who invaded Crimea? Who invaded Ukraine? Nobody gave Ukraine away, Nobody threatened Ukraine to give up their fight for freedom until Donald came on-board. We can discuss simple rhetoric that lead to the war, but that was about Ukraine wanted to be partner with Europe and the west, not the Dictator Putin and Russia. 

 

Donald is a lying president, clumsy, ignorant, lives in another reality, unpresidental, rude, act like an mafiaboss, and his followers loves him for what he is, and defending an convicted man.

All your opinion only. So far I only see things happening that he was voted for to do and is following through with all he can. He only has 4 years to do it all and you Trump haters and far-left Dems are doing everything possible to stop him or slow him down. 

Why don't you concede you lost your word salad Dem to Trump and begin to show some support instead rather than try to make everything look worse than it really is. 

 

I sit back here and read all news good and bad about Trump and the US both in real news and in social media. It has only been people like you who have hated the idea that Trump won the election and now sits in the WH that consistently attack and demean every single thing he does which makes me laugh every day.

 

It does not matter that you post nonsense or fake news or tossing insults constantly to prove you are correct. The facts are that Trump is doing what he promised in the campaigns that Americans voted for and for all your complaints and. gripes and innuendos and hate speeches. Nothing you said will change the truth. 

 

It irks me even more as you do this collecting your pensions acting like you are still in America and it actually affects you personally.  You see yourselves as some Democratic saviour with gossip and half-truths or outright lies. Using name-calling as a final result when your illogic does not work or are called out for posting half-truths or leaving out pertinent data that undermines the rhetoric you want everyone to believe. 

 Why do you not sit back and enjoy the show? See how it turns out, then you can laugh at everything saying "I told you so"! But in the meantime, be a real American and start supporting what your president has and is doing to try to make America safer and richer and more industrious. In 3 more years only the real facts will come out when it is election time to see if he accomplished anything he promised. Or show what he failed in. 

The US will not fall in a couple years and every country knows that in 3 years the US will have another president with their own ideas and policies. And that everything Trump did bad can be reversed if it had a negative outcome.

He was voted to trash Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA?

He was voted to help Russia and trash Ukraine?

He was voted to launch a totally insane tariff trade war on the entire world (except Russia and North Korea) moronically based on trade imbalances (nothing to do with reciprocal tariffs), in effect causing a massive tax increase for lower wealth Americans, and destabilizing the entire global economy?!?

He was voted to implement the fascist 2025 agenda when during the campaign he said he knew nothing about it?
NO NO NO. He was not!

I could go on and on about disgusting damaging things Trump has already done that people did NOT vote for.

I will give you that he has done some things that people did vote for, such as to make transgender Americans lives miserable. Yes people did vote for that so job done.

Indeed. It's mind-boggling how much damage can be done if a completely incompetent clown surrounds himself with equally incompetent clowns.

 

American soft power obliterated; Check.

Trust and respect of long-time allies gone; Check.

Trust and respect of your closest neighbours gone; Check.

Trust in the American financial system severely diminished; Check.

A sharp pivot away from natural allies; Check.

Blanket tariffs and subsequent flip-flopping damaging US and world economies; Ckeck.

Turning the presidency into a grift operation; Check.

 

I could go on, but what's the point.

Why do you bother to reply with more nonsense and half-truths? Everyone knows your stance on all that the President does. You never look at anything objectively or try to see how anything done could benefit Americans. You only use your half-truths to further push your hate agenda. That is why people laugh at your comments so much. Trump did not trash anything. 

He tried to help end the war but first zelenski refused and then russia. You can bring a horse to water but can not make him drink. 

Yes, the people who voted for Trump did so knowing he would make tariffs. It was part of his campaign. 

He has not made any fascist agenda and is a Dem lie. 

I also could go on against everything you claim simply because, you only follow Dem propaganda andTrump hate rhetoric.
