What are blue states even going to be subsidizing once all the social programs are gone? I want my tax money to help EVERYONE, but it appears they'll only be helping wealthy twats.

I was one of the unfortunate ones where pregnancy didn't help at all 😞 It had been about 6 years since my last laparoscopy, so it may have just gotten too bad, and the organs moving can't be helpful. I hate these stupid losers 😡

Reminder to these fake ass "health professionals" that the only treatment for endometriosis is hormonal or surgery. Not just 1 surgery, multiple- because it keeps coming back without the hormones to control it (and with them, just at a slower pace). Regular pain meds barely touch it. They don't GAF

They said it will end up in court because of federal vs state coverage mandates. States absolutely can and do have different insurance coverage mandates/control than the federal govt.
Leah (@miss-spider.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps you should take this up with the leaders that have made the statements I'm relaying to you. They seem to think money and access, as well as insurance not paying, are all issues.
Leah (@miss-spider.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not suggesting punishing anyone, I'm stating what I read about this. It's not going to be how it is right now. Nothing is going to be covered by any insurance the same way or cost the same amount out of pocket. The state leaders are expressing these concerns. I'm not making it up.
Leah (@miss-spider.bsky.social) reply parent
They would obviously prefer to have insurance pay for them, though. That is a LOT of money. Like I said, I just read the article, I'm not a professional 🤣

The concern is that red states won't buy ANY covid vaccines. The blue states are going directly to the distributors for their specific states, not the whole country. Why would Maine buy enough vaccines for their population of citizens and then let out of staters come use half of them, you know?
Leah (@miss-spider.bsky.social) reply parent
Since the states are buying their own vaccines, they might be limited to just residents. I hope they order extra for neighboring states, but there's no guarantee. I read that for Medicaid/Medicare, it'll likely be a court battle over which guidance to follow and if they have to pay. 😞

Society should not be relying on religious groups for basic needs. It can be done without church money. The religious right is a large part of why Medicaid is being destroyed. They've been voting this way for decades. I don't think it's a good idea for those people to be the main support system.

Those social service programs in my area are not run by churches. The town donates and runs them, or they get government funding. Yes, some churches have those, but they certainly do not uphold the community by themselves. I've never in my life seen a public health clinic run by a church.
