I'm so frustrated by the talking points.

"17 million kicked off of Medicaid". Part of the rationale for expanding Medicaid in 2014 was that it would alleviate the over-crowding of all Emergency Rooms. THAT EFFECTS EVERYONE. But I heard nothing about that issue. Maybe they will argue that mass deportation will cut down long waits and overcrowding. But given that access to medication will be lost, there are bound to be more going to ER.

And cuts will be enforced through the Administration? Then what do we do? I personally will be screwed.
