17 million Americans losing their health coverage is a national emergency

[bigtree]

...and that national catastrophe is, incredibly, being deliberately engineered by republicans.

The Senate version of the Republican tax would wipe out many of the strides made by the Affordable Care Act in reducing the number of uninsured Americans — resulting in at least 17 million Americans losing their health coverage, according to nonpartisan estimates and experts.

1. This will kill off a lot more of the Hispanics

That managed to enter legally. That’s probably the point.

[Mysterian]

2. But what about DIDDY!

Screeches the corporate media.

[Delmette2.0]

3. And another round of hearing about people

losing their job. I'm talking at the state level. Every state and county will lose employees. More trained employees on unemployment? Without health insurance?

Good job Donny.

4. the rest of the world has free or semi free health care but we cant. bleh

6. What in God's name...

... do these unspeakably evil sociopaths think they'll going to gain from this obscene treachery? What is worth the white-hot hatred they are engendering in those they are SUPPOSED to serve? Do they WANT a civil war to tear the country apart? Putin'll love it, but those of their constituents that they put in harm's way might have other ideas, and those ideas might mean terrible things for the shitweasels with an (R) after their names. Do they think that only THEY know their way around firearms? Guess again, assholes.

8. Not according to fucking Republicans. The ONLY thing this country declares "national emergencies" over is immigration.

9. It's a hypothetical problem to most Americans.

17 million is an abstract number. They don't know when the cuts will kick in. They're not on Medicaid, and they don't know people who are.

10. Wait until they start cutting medicare to meet budget constraints.

Medicare is no longer protected from this.

[maxsolomon]

12. Medicare cuts aren't in the Reconciliation Bill, are they?

Repuke Pols know better than to touch a 3rd rail. They just go after "the undeserving poor".

[mdbl]

15. Yes the cuts are in there. They are disguised

Up until this big bullshit bill, Medicare was protected in the budget. After this big bullshit bill, Medicare is now subject to spending cuts by the OMB. This wasn't the case in the past. And the OMB is now being run by one of the architects of project 2025.

17. Didn't know that. Thought it was only Medicaid.

Thx

[OrangeJoe]

13. Cuts will kick in after the 2026 midterms

MAGA doesn't know how to govern, but the sneaky bastards know how to distract and swindle the masses. Watch for stories on Fox proving that Democrats were crying wolf when the shit does NOT hit the fan right away. Then after the poorly educated vote again for the Republicans--wham, the doctor is not in.

11. Pro Life my ass

Fuck these hypocrites — force a birth only to suffer and die later

14. TSF continues his global genocide. n/t

16. It's already an emergency

that 68,000 die per year due to lack of healthcare, as this government refuses to convert to universal healthcare.
