👀 Murkowski got her deal, per source familiar. Part of it will be delaying the Medicaid cuts for high-poverty states. That was the only way to get it past the Senate parliamentarian, I’m told.

How many states are getting special treatment?

Delay until after mid terms so they can say, See, we didn't hurt anybody."

So, mostly red states? How convenient.

According to Wikipedia, Alaska is number 37 in terms of high poverty. So I don't see how this helps Alaska at all.

All they have to do is assert a new definition of poverty to serve their ends.

Delaying the cuts is not getting her deal though

What does it matter for delaying them? It's still going to happen?

That's going to make her popular. That's what I want my Senator to do, get exceptions for my state. This is not going to hurt her with her constituents at all.

So predictable! Murkowski always gets bought out.

So they delay the cuts for the red, aka 'high poverty' states and start by killing off the people/voters in the blue states. Looks like fascism to me

No state should be exempted.

How long is the delay? The rest of us get cuts, and red states don't for a few years? Aren't all the high poverty states red?

Exactly. So when the red states do finally receive Medicaid cuts, it's possible there will be a Democratic majority, so Republicans can blame Democrats for everything. Per usual.

Red states are definitely going to get what they voted for.

Now imagine all the morons who have to explain to their constituents why they’ll suffer more so Alaskans can suffer less. If Alaska is that fucking poor, they should pick themselves up by the bootstraps.

Did Murkowski get this payoff in the final bill or did the parliamentarian rule against it?
