Medicaid cuts will devastate nursing homes

[SHRED]

Many middle-class Americans are unaware that the huge cost of nursing home care – which in some areas can run over $100,000 a year — is not covered by Medicare. Those who need it and cannot pay for it themselves can generally receive coverage from Medicaid, though they usually must spend down all their savings first.

When all is said and done, Medicaid pays the bills for over 60 percent of nursing home residents — people who cannot care for themselves and without Medicaid would have literally nowhere to go.

Republicans are heartless assholes who only want tax cuts for the wealthy and increased spending for their corporate weapons manufacturing cronies.

3. My mom is on medicaid in a nursing facility...

There is literally no one who can care for her (with her health and other aging issues) if she loses that aid, myself and one sister are at/near sixty and have low incomes. I am unemployed due to some health
issues and (not eligible for disability). Thugs don't care if we all die...just hurry it up so the upper incomes can have more, more and yet more....
