Medicaid unwinding

I am sure Gov Huckabee is very, very concerned for the well being of all of those poor people. No worries.

 

Holy crap, almost 1/3 of the country is on medicaid?

 

Without crunching the numbers, I wonder what percent is on medicaid, medicare, ACA stipends, VA benefits; and how it wouldn't be cheaper to just offer universal coverage. I feel like this should just be a math equation at this point.

 

Must be around 50%.

 

Governor Sanders is a Cino - Christian in name only. Some of the people kicked off Medicare in her state will die due to lack of health care. She knows it and doesn't care. She just signed a law eliminating permits requiring an employer to verify a child's age and parent's consent before hiring the child. So much for family values.

 

Yeah jax. Probably as many on food stamps too.
The land of Milk and Honey does not apply to everryone.

 

It’s Medicaid not Medicare there is a difference.

 

Also disturbing is the number of active duty service members who are on public assistance. Disgraceful.

 

danmanne65 - thank you for the correction - I meant to say Medicaid. I am 67 years old and have Medicare (Part A).

 

Not trying to be a jerk sierra and I'm not picking on you. (Your awesome).

Whats even worse are the number of former (and active) service members whom splatter their brains all over the living room carpet with those lead firing toys the GOP is so enamoured with.

My point is - Our culture worships the few % of people that make it - You know the wealthy, rock stars, political pundits, anyone on TV.

Not so much the 95% that don't measure up to the B.S. standards of the media or the marketing (commercial) idiots that make us all living zombies.

 

Yep, and I bet the vast majority are in red states.

 

Why do you think they’re opposed to abortion? They need them as cheap labor to fill jobs that don’t pay a living wage.

 

Of course we will. It is inevitable. One party has wanted it and the other hasn’t done a damn thing to prevent it for over thirty years now.

 

True, and the reason for that is that they didn’t really want to.

 

That's nothing new. It's been like that since the early 90s. I supervised kids who were on it back than. Was just as disgraceful then as it is today.

 

93,008,246 individuals were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP in the 51 states and the District of Columbia that reported enrollment data for January 2023.

• 85,915,795 individuals were enrolled in Medicaid.
• 7,092,451 individuals were enrolled in CHIP.

41,859,753 individuals were enrolled in CHIP or were children enrolled in the Medicaid program in the 49 states and the District of Columbia that reported child enrollment data for January 2023 representing 46.2% of total Medicaid and CHIP program enrollment.

They don’t even work. Default!!
