Got this fine read early in my email....well worth the read!

I have something Important to say to MAGA:

Grandma & Grandpa And Mom & Dad are coming home.

Your disabled siblings who are mentally disabled or physically disabled and can't care for themselves, are coming home

Your Uncle Bob or Aunt Sarah disabled by strokes, kidney disease, dementia, Diabetes, Cancer, amputation are coming home

in July 2024 there were 7.2 million seniors, 65+ , on Medicaid

Medicaid covers Nursing home bills for 60% of residents

Medicaid covers 50% of long term care patients

So, You Maga, fucked the libs, but in the process, in your colossal ignorance, you have clearly fucked yourselves because you destroyed Medicaid and all those people noted above, are soon to be your responsibility. WELCOME TO 1965.

Because of Grandma & Grandpa

Then endorse Medicaid because it helps all your millionaire MAGAt friends who happen to own nursing homes

Not sure who they'll blame when our rural health care clinic and small hospital closes, but I guarantee they won't take responsibility for what they done.

If you have a person in a nursing facility that is currently private pay for their services the quality of care in the facility will go down in the snap of a finger if other residents are currently on Medicaid lose their coverage. I’ve seen it happen first hand. Without the extra care givers, patient supplies and payments for care the care facility will suffer immediate cash flow problems. Save us all if our nursing care facilities go belly up.

They wanted details so I gave them details. Our district stands to lose 2.19 Billion dollars.

So far...crickets...

All of those the nursing homes employed - the nurses, aides, janitors, administrators, coders, and food service workers will be unemployed.
