Hard to understand for me as German, here you can even get a mandatory health insurance if you´re on #SocialSecurity like me (free #Medicare), or even homeless people can get one, those insurances pay for the necessary examinations and treatments.

It's hard for us to understand, too. Poling consistently shows the majority of Americans want universal healthcare. So much that our government does is not in our interest. We've been an oligarchy for a while, but it's getting even more grotesque. I think they just want the poor and disabled to die.
The only things for that our mandatory health insurances do not pay are cold meds like nasal spray or drops against cough, expectorants, eye glasses (including the frames, I have a glasses insurance & get new ones every 2 years) and a few other medications that´re more "lifestyle products".
I'm quite jealous. I could work to finally own a home just to lose it eventually to healthcare costs. Bankruptcy has limits. The elderly are forced to spend down assets to qualify for care. I've had a friend do minor home surgery for an injury to avoid ER costs when I was young. We NEED much better.
I´m so sorry for the health care situation in the USA (and in some other countries), I know we are kind of privilegued here in Germany, and I´m grateful for that. I think if I lived in the USA I´d be long gone yet...
It seems like that, unfortunately. I have several disabled and poor online friends from the USA and I feel sorry for them. Without our German healthcare I´d be long gone, I think. I need 12+ longtime meds every day, I couldn´t afford to pay for them from #SocialSecurity (less than 800 €/month).
I am quite happy & grateful that there are sane countries on Earth & that you have that care. 🇩🇪 ♥️. Illness is hard enough without fear of poverty. My medications without insurance are $10,500 annually for one & $99,600 for another. There's no way to afford it otherwise. Our costs are so high.
OMG I think my 12+ longtime meds would costs a few 1.000 Euros every month either if I had to pay for them myself, I really feel sorry for all chronic sick and disabled US people. My health insurance is paid for by the district office because I can´t afford it.
Uh, because it's all a lie perpetrated by fraudsters. #ImpeachKakistocracy
They can't do math
You tell them, AOC❣Truth❣❣❣
Because they want to steal more of your hard earned money
I hope to never have as much money as these Republikkkans have, that sells my soul and humanity while taking more for those with the least.
"This bill bans people kicked off of Medicaid from even buying health care from the Affordable Care Act" 🤔 What?!!!!😟 Why?!!!!!😳 Preventing Americans from accessing ACA?😡 Misuse of powers. Reprehensible.
As someone who works in healthcare. The ER will be full and people will die. And no undocumented immigrants do not get federal benefits
But for Medicaid I’d be dead. I had a TBI that left me with permanent damage. I’m recovering from recent spinal surgery. Im in the disability process which can take up to two years. I have a mother with dementia in an assisted living facility. I went from lawyer to nobody in an instant. Now this.
In the meantime, douchebag is accepting a $400 million dollar jet and fucking all of us over. Enough is enough. I struggle physically and mentally just to make it through every single day. Three months of this shit feels like an eternity. Some ranting racist pig screams the N word at an autistic
Child and crowdsources $700k. WTF has happened to this country? Sorry for the rant, but it’s one of those days when i just can’t take anymore bullshit.
Because they are lying cheating dogs. PERIOD
Hey! Leave dogs out of it. Dogs are better than people. They never lie. Except down 😂😂😂😂
Dogs are so cool!!
They used the same one drop rule to attack and strangle trans healthcare
And its just the first domino.
They're all tipping now
Written with no hyperbole
This is how the government gets rid of the people they consider “undesirable “
Because they want to give the ultra wealthy even more wealth and they don't give a shit if the rest of us die on the road there.
Immigrants are freeloading off the gov - but they want to use tax data to find them (which means they have jobs). Immigrants are freeloading off Medicaid - so they want to cut US citizens' healthcare. Math ain't mathing, lol.
The cruelty is the point. This administration never seeks the compassion, only the cruelty. #MAGAEQUALSNAZI #DICTATORFORADAY #therewillbeblood
Same thinking, killing 50K+ Palestinians to avenge 1300 Jews Now looks like a Holodomor coming A contrived famine. The Germans and Russians taught well
Their math NEVER works.
It does when it benefits them.
Not even then they just say it works…
Remember that red states don't know how to math because you know, education, so THEIR (GOP) math, math's just fine. My head explodes every day because ratio al normal empathetic compassionate people don't know that kind of "math."
Because they & their voters get pleasure from cruelty toward vulnerable people.
Cause they want us to die, duh
Because they are liars.
The goal of Trump/project '25 is to kill millions of Americans. That's how they will make more housing available.
Rather that’s just another their devilish methods to beef up the Tax-Breaks for their buddy-Billionaires !!!!!! 🤬
Because they're compulsive unrepentant liars and also naizs, so eugenics is exactly what they have in mind
You know they don’t think before they throw numbers out there.
They are lying.
What math? They are just keeping money that's all. The whole world can see that the usa are running full speed into fascism, dictatorship and oligarcy. And yet people and politicians in there are still behaving like old time.
Dude, They're shined up hillbillies Only a shave & GED makes the difference.
This is wild.
These are the people who are raising the future of our nation if we still have one.
That's just shocking!😳😕
I grew up with a girl that tried to teach her dad to read and it never stuck, but boy did he seem to have a lot of "educated" opinions about democrats and how Reagan needed to come back and save the country.
For a lot of white people, Reagan was a god; they're still trying to slap his name on government buildings. But for Black people? For us, he was the devil personified.
He was the devil for people with mental health issues as well. For me, he is the root of the evil we're currently stuck with.
Because deregulation wasn't enough of a meal for Corporate America? Mass incarceration didn't destroy enough generations of Black men? The AIDS epidemic that he ignored till it got so bad he had no choice? And his greatest skill: being able to tell a welfare queen by the type of TV she had
In addition to walking off the TV screen like Trump with no public service experience, like Trump.
And during his maiden speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where those civil rights workers were killed, he mentioned states' rights, the euphemism for slavery, allowing Suburban Americans to greet him enthusiastically with open arms.
Mind blowing!
over half of americans read below a sixth grade level OVER HALF this is so sad 😞
Okay? And what's really scary: nobody's pissed off about it.
i guess i’m nobody then
Not at all,not by my calculations
This President is the LEAST LITERATE of all of the modern Presidents, speaking at a 4th grade level which you can correctly assume is the pinnacle of American achievement now. & now that the country has chased away all the brightest minds, just watch us turn into the biggest joke that ever existed
We’re there
That's been true for decades now. It's why the standard for news publishing is that it shouldn't read past a 6th grade level.
WE know the TRUTH, it's NOT about FRAUD, it's about cutting costs to FUND the TAX CUTS for the RICH like it ALWAYS is with the RETHUGS! 🤬
There is more than just that ( that is just the end result ), and it does have to do with denigration of segment parts of the US population. ' we don't like these people, and look they abuse everything '.
Yep, they look at low income people like they're garbage, yet MANY of those STUPIDLY VOTED for them!
Because they have their healthcare. Screw the rest of us. 8647
exactly and set for life. screw the people who put you there.
And we pay for it. So sick of this.
•Poor people are working 3 jobs, they don’t have time to protest •Sick people don’t feel well enough to protest •Stupid people vote emotionally, often against their own interests •Women, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen are too busy to protest!
It's missing the foundational steps: • Keep 'em scared • Keep 'em angry
Exactly!
They're following the Authoritarian playbook exactly 💯! This is the start of tyrannical Dictatorship 👿.
"consolidate power for the Executive Branch" Project 2025 playbook

We must find a way! #Resist #Reject #Restore
I will lay you odds, that this meme will be circulating with "Democrats Agenda" at the top. Every accusation is an admission.
I heard elsewhere that the 880 BILLION dollar cut they're looking for will affect 70 million people. Distinguishing between seniors on medicare and uninsured people signed up for medicare to cover a catastrophic event are two different things. How will hospitals survive if uninsured ppl come to ER?
Fuck republicans. I don’t care if your grandma is Republican you better look her in her eye and tell her to get fucked for doing this to folks that are already struggling
Every MAGA in my family better not ask me for 1.00! We are the ones they cry to because we have a heart. NO MORE!
Yeah. I cut all MAGA family and friends out of my life. Every last one of them. Fuck them all. The only thing I'm intolerant of is intolerance.
It is impossible to respect the people who have put us into this gigantic mess and continue to support what's happening.
I have too. I have no time or energy for them
Me too.
Sadly, I agree. It is a line of demarcation.
I did too. The first vote could be considered an "error", the second vote was intentional. They SAW his first term and STILL voted him in.
Same. I could forgive everything up to the 2024 election. I can't forgive this. He said he would be a dictator. I mean, come on.
My sister said she hoped he was just talking sh*t. They claimed they liked that he "said it like it is" then say "he doesn't mean what he says." Idiots
I know. The cognitive dissonance in MAGA is mind-blowing.
Then you are wise in my opinion, as painful as it may have been. You just defined the "paradox of tolerance" which states that a society MUST be intolerant of those who are intolerant, or our very tolerance will be leveraged to destroy us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox...
This is definitely what I’ve been doing for almost a decade now. tRump brought out the worst in people. People I thought care about me. But being genetically ill with a rare disease and disabled by it, the reality became real clear that these people don’t care about anything other than their hate.
I have family I no longer speak to. They are so far up tRumps azz it's pathetic. They are brainwashed and cannot see what he is doing is wrong, how it hurts anymore who is not a billionaire. The Republican Party is not the party for the middle-class nor the less fortunate. Vote them out in midterm
I absolutely understand what you mean. It’s really jarring when the people you grew up with turn into people you don’t recognize. I never expected my family to vote against not only things that harm me as a sick and disabled person, but against their own well being. They refuse to listen.
Sadly, as much as I’ve tried, I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t do it anymore. Want access to my life? Acknowledge you voted for a convicted rapist and 34 count felon. Admit you voted for him because he gave you permission to vile and toxic out in the open. It’s sure as hell broken my heart 💔
You aren’t alone in your feelings. Since 2016, almost an entire decade, we’ve watched his cult become more committed to their golden calf. And as long as that’s the case, they are not welcome in my life. We have boundaries and they sure are hard to maintain. Check out the philosophy…
Paradox of Tolerance as well as the term, Slow Violence. If you haven’t already they really helped me understand what’s happening and that we are doing is right thing. Again, you aren’t alone. Solidarity forever ✊🏼💜
I hate that this keeps being brought back up actually. It's not even close to being a paradox. It's just, play by the rules or you're out.
Yeah, the answer to the 'paradox' is that tolerance is a social contract. If you do not abide by its terms then you are not covered by its provisions.
Very deep. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been brutal with cutting ties.
For those who won't or can't read the link, the resolution to the paradox of tolerance is that, to benefit from a tolerant system, you must adhere to its tolerance. If you don't adhere to that, you implicitly exempt yourself from the system and reasonably shouldn't benefit from that tolerance.
Where are the receipts? If they found 1 million then it should not be a problem to provide 10 names and proof. They don't because it does not exist.
Where's the prosecutions? Parading them for the shame
That would require that somebody be guilty
Right!? They’d normally LOVE something like that!
What’s her job again?
I promise you if you elect her she can be president of the world next if she wants. I personally am so smitten i will just hand over my country to her.
For Republicans, "undocumented" is a Magic Word--- ---uttering it instantly enables any and all actions (including harming all non-billionaire Americans). No oversight, no consequences.
Yes why?!

I think it ultimately comes down to whether you care about other people or you do not. Sadly, that seems to fall pretty much along party lines. I see conservatism essentially as a philosophy that allows people to place value on being selfish.
Could this regime survive such an act? Would taking 13.7 million people’s healthcare away finally be enough lose the base? It seems like a lot of his voters could be ruined from such an act
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. And there are 79 million Trump voters who would rather not have to pay for fraudsters on Medicaid, vastly outweighing the 13.7 million who would get kicked off.
Because they can't count.
NEITHER!
The healthcare provided to undocumented people is by way of free health clinics & ERs for emergencies. They are generally ineligible for Medicaid unless it is on an emergency case by case basis, e.g., life-saving emergency. This BS is invented outrage to vilify poor & indigent people.
Because MAGA and republicans get off on hurting others. What a despicable, sickening, worthless administration. They will reap what the sow
Heard the best phrase (Daniel Fox) that so captures this administration …. weaponized incompetence
they’re literally trying to kill the very people that voted him in
They've been doing that since COVID. What I'm surprised about is killing their constituents works
Because they are full of 💩💩💩💩
It's not math. It's racism, it's misogyny, it's sexism, it's bigotry. It's reverse Robin Hood. It's mean.
Well, we know it's racism, when they allow a bunch of white Afrikaans immigrants, who are white into the country, while sending brown skin immigrants to El Salvador death camps
out in the open racist, couldn't be any plainer
I love when he said they'd only allow immigrants who could "assimilate easy". Literally the quiet part is getting louder and louder
Assimilate, root word being "same. "
White immigrants only, can’t get more racist than that
💯
AND they are giving these Afrikaaners federal benefits...
Y’all see this? So, not just white Afrikaners…but also family members of the head of the Sinaloa cartel! apnews.com/article/el-c...
It's called Republican/DOGE math.
They are trying to repeal the affordable care act without calling it that.
People on medicaid are pregnant women, children, disabled and senior citizens with major illnesses
exactly the type of person the nazis would like to kill
Of course the math doesn't add up. You're dealing with a group of people who have a conartist as a leader.

I have a question. How do people with no documents get on Medicaid? Asking for a friend 🤔
Illegal immigrants do not qualify for any welfare.
Obvs.
They don’t
Part of Black history: they give you a social security number so they can tax you, but that does not mean you're permitted to use the bene
For those that dare to risk it, fake docs can do the trick. A reason blue states are in the crosshairs is that some of them don't verify identities before issuing EBT and Medicaid because they don't want to scare away folks who need help from getting it. Oregon, my state, is one such state. I... 1/2
...I am on state Medicaid and EBT right now while I put my life back together from Covid-related shit, and this apparatus didn't care to verify whether I'm legal. They just helped me AS IT SHOULD BE. Our nation *should* be the kind of place where folks who need help get it.
Cut those stupid golf vacations and ridiculous kidnapping flights. Cut the actual corporate fraud in Medicare and Medicaid: it’s in the trillions, no doubt. No $60 million military birthday parade for the clown.
Republican math NEVER adds up, its never truthful, Republicans never act in good faith, Republicans have turned lying into the sole requirement for party leadership.
Cut medicaid to the bone let their constituants suffer fuck it cut social security too i dont need it .i didnt vote for the putey cocksucker .its a shame good people have ro suffer to but if you didnt vote fuck the good people too
They’re not math program?
To give the donor class more tax breaks. They want poor people to hurry up a die.
Why that’s one of the major unspoken plans of the darned Psycho-felon at Ovrl-Ofc-WH n his cronies indeed …. The longer they keep on pushing it, the greater number of lower-income families being murdered off silently off their unwritten lists …. 😳
The answer to why is that the Republicans are greedy!
They don’t care if they throw the baby out with the bath water
🚨💥 Cruelty and lies, folks! The GOP's healthcare plan is a joke. They claim to care about Americans, but really they just want to screw over 13.7 MILLION people for their own twisted ideology #MedicaidMatters #HealthcareIsAHumanRight
🔥💣 You can't make this up! The GOP's math doesn't add up either - claiming only 1 million undocumented folks are on Medicaid, but trying to cut off healthcare for 13.7 MILLION Americans? #AlternativeFacts #HealthcareForAll

Not too long ago when ppl decided Project 2025 was not real, refused to read it and oh yeah, when they voted for Trump. These people apparently wanted this outcome. He said he would be dictator on day one,Republican Party accepted it. MAGA insisted it couldn’t happen here, well it’s here now

Fireball. What everybody ELSE needs to become now!
Please don't just agree. Get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC to stengthen and enhance Medicare and Medicaid instead of cutting. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.co

america is hell.
Here's an idea ,take the 400 million dollar plane and sell it and give every American one million dollars each,I'll take mine in cash 😁
I support the sentiment. But please repeat that calculation again..
Population in us 350 million?
400 mil / 350 mil = $1.14
my bad
Why? Because they're greedy MAGAfucks who don't give a damn. Power to do whatever the fuck they want is their ultimate goal.
I bet there are a lot of his supporters on Medicaid and Medicare.
Many, many, many.
No of their numbers including the last election add up . So when are you calling for a election audit ?????
One million people are scamming, so let's destroy the lives of 13.7 million innocent people as punishment. Seems fair.
One million people are NOT scamming. The crime syndicate is scamming. This entire argument is 100% projection.
Yeah, I knew this. I was just going by GOP logic. Same as how the IDF (or U.S., for that matter) will bomb an entire civilian residential apartment complex because they *think* a suspected terrorist *might* be there. These people are monsters. Their cruelty knows no bounds.
I’d like to know where they came up with the amount that 1 million people are scamming? So devastating that 13.7 innocent people will suffer if they cut Medicaid. I fucking hate the GOP! 🤬
I mean, I believe their default position is that the mere existence of Medicaid itself is a scam, and moreover the idea that we need to save people's lives rather than let them die if they can't afford treatment is also a scam.
It's a corollary of the Prosperity Gospel mixed with meritocracy. If someone is poor it is evidence of their moral failing; conversely, wealth is evidence of responsible living. So, the morally *good* i.e., rich, should not be burdened by people who won't make responsible, MORAL choices.
Which REALLY, is just a way to bring Ayn Rand's nuttery into religion, since you know, she was pretty much what every conservative aspires to be, minus the atheism.
Exactly.
It’s like if the GOP stands up their backs will break 😟
His name is Biden but Clooney and Schumer made him step down due to One bad debate night
The pertinent question is, "Why are they trying to cut undocumented people off their healthcare?". Aren't they the people who are most likely to need it?
I would be fine with undocumented people getting Medicaid, but the fact is they don’t.
Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis
Robin Hood in reverse
It's GOP cognitive dissonance.
Because they don't believe that government exists to help and serve people--they believe it exists to they can control and oppress people.
They hate the poor, and do nothing to help them. And they're not worried about it because they're already losing in the demographic. They underestimate how many people aren't what-will-you-do-for-me voters.
Bring in White South Africans who are not refugees to slam into our faces the absolute racism of this regime run by a billionaire South African immigrant.
The nice thing about South African racists is they make no bones about it. American racist, you got to always figure it out, you know, how crazy that can make one? It's like always looking for that needle in the haystack.
I'm in Mississippi so not always.
HERO!!! Thank you for speaking up for all of us !😊
"The math is not adding up." Well, maybe math is yet another of those nasty fact-based things like science which this administration has decided it can do without. This has always been about slashing government services and handing the money to the oligarchs.

Yes, and faces. They better not supply a list of random, brown-sounding names. I want to see the data they claimed they found. DOGE is legally obligated to field FOIA requests, and they haven't complied with any of mine; I highly doubt I'm an exception. The best part about that is that if... 1/2
...if they do comply, we'll have it on record that they've lied about "undocumented" folks not contributing tax dollars while being a drain on the system. In fact, what we'll find is a list of folks who pay taxes and receive no benefits. They know this, and it's why they aren't answering. 2/2
Add in age while we're at it, they'll show us how much pieces of shit they are when they'll end up w old ppl on that list, in fact anybody that is on that list, should have the right to show up and say their take.I bet there would be disabled, poor, and old ppl on there, but they'd have a fake list.

Do you approve of the Zionist genocide being perpetrated against the Palestinians who have lived there for centuries?
🦗 … 🦗
Mostly I'll focus on the fact that this is all about how there should be an Israel, and nobody is actually disagreeing with that. What the left [and AOC] is mad about is that Israel is mistreating the Palestinian people of Gaza. And they should stop. The UN and 19 human rights orgs seem to agree.
AOC has not condemned Hamas and the 7 october atrocities and defends dangers to jews and Israel: www.algemeiner.com/2025/03/21/s...
The murder of innocent Palestinian children increased 150% in the months leading up to the October 7th retaliatory attacks on their oppressors. Any other narrative is false and has been fabricated to paint Israel as innocent bystanders when the world knows better. Not even Trump stands with you now😬
The IOF indiscriminately slaughtering innocent lives started long before the 7th of October, liar. THIS nonstop escalation is what led to October 7 RETALIATION and anyone with honesty in their tongue would speak on it. You deflect. What happens to liars? 🤔☄️🔥 www.savethechildren.net/news/2023-ma...

Read between the lies of this trump toilet republicans have no shame and they must be estopped
It seems to me that Republicans are happy to accept any outlandish lie that make Democrats look inept or deviant while simultaneously ignoring and rejecting accusations of blatant violations of the Constitution by MAGA politicians. We can't win in a heads I win tails you lose game with our country.
She is so good at this.
This is an administration that follows no rules or laws.. we actually expect them to use a calculator.. 😩
Their base will follow them anywhere they say as long as you just say undocumented people are getting something. They are that racist.
I just want it on record that I'd rather have my taxes go to undocumented people so they don't die over a billionaire being able to throw a swankier orgy at sea or whatever the fuck rich people do with that much money.
I would just like to point out that the billionaire could throw the exact same swanky orgy either way, and it would not make one lick of difference to him. He would just have a different number in his bank account afterward.
In which their diseased addicted brains care about. They need to hoard more and more wealth to feed that addiction. The end result is that wealth then transfers over to their seeds for 50 generations, with each generation becoming less and less innovative. They should be sent in for rehab...

I love my undocumented Mexican friends. They are the most honest and hardworking people I know.
I know what they do with all that money. They... sit on it. They're like dragons. They hoard all the gold, and keep it to themselves, doing nothing with it. These people want to win Capitalism by any means necessary, while the rest of us struggle, or die when we fail
MTG doesn’t need anymore forehead filler. Enough is enough!
They don't care what you want
Same!
Oh, is it because they lie…Routinely?
Clearly they have no idea the red tape you have to go through to get Medicaid and then more to keep getting it. 😡🤬
IF that’s true (and that’s a really big if), then they need to systematically go through all the records and find those individuals (and ONLY those individuals).
It's horse shit, undocumented people cant be on Medicare because they don't have ss numbers, repukes make me sick

These GOP and all republicans leaders are asholes who don’t respect our constitution, our rights nor our freedoms or wellbeing🤬. Period. IMPEACH THEM ALL!!!
That's not true. There is rigorous documentation. I know.
I don't understand how people don't get this is common sense. Even billionaires gain from a sea rise in average healthcare outcomes. A rising tide lifts all boats is not a metaphor for nothing. 🤷
A.O.C! This can not happen. I hope everyone has their reps in their contacts, and are calling at least once every day.
They want us all to die.
Show me your sources.
Even if their claim is true, it's like that quote "I'd rather arrest one hundred innocent men then see one guilty one go free"
BECAUSE THEY’RE CRIMINALS THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO ARREST🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
What scares me most is that Trump and most of the other republicans seem to have no fear of retribution in upcoming elections. What do they know that we don’t?
unmitigated disaster for a family that is on medicaid with a child : preemies, childhood diseases like cancer, cystic fibrosis, snd issues like down syndromes, etc. craven GOP
I'm sure they know that undocumented people are not allowed to receive Medicaid. They're playing more head games on their ignorant supporters.I worked for the gov and know the hoops people have to jump through to get on Medicaid. Undocumented applicants couldn't cut through the red tape.
And nobody who's undocumented is going to risk any kind of investigation into their circumstances for fear of deportation, and these days, that could mean ending up in a Salvadoran prison. I dont think most Americans have any idea how rigorous the process is for poor people to get any public $.
Took me 6 months to get my mother, incontinent with late stage Alzheimer’s, on Medicaid. I repeatedly had to send her financial info. And after all the hoops, she got 4 hours a week for nursing care.
Same here, only had to do it all on my own
I hear ya. My mom passed due to Alzheimer’s. These will be devastating for a growing number of people. Hang in there.
Thanks. She passed in February. The last year was hell. The number of people this affects, and the devastating cuts to Medicare/Medicaid, are going to be disastrous for us.
"Technically" they're not allowed to receive federal tax dollars for Medicaid. Some states do allow them to receive Medicaid funded only with state dollars. It's quirky but it still doesn't affect the US government either way.
Republicans claim a lot of stuff. But they never, ever, ever, ever, ever bring in some evidence to support their claims.
In California undocumented immigrants can collect Medi-Cal, its version of Medicaid, to eligible undocumented immigrants. Since January 1, 2024, adults, regardless of their immigration status, are eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal if they meet income requirements.
@aoc.bsky.social, The ‘undocumented people on Medicaid’ claim is a coverup to justify totally eliminating Medicaid to free-up the money.
@aoc.bsky.social is fighting for you when your own congresspeople won’t!
AOC: You Go Girl !!! With all those hacks who never knew basic math, It takes a bartender to figure out math in the US CON-gress,
AOC you need to just shut up.
Buttigieg and AOC along and of course Crockett and Booker are my heroes right now.
Good question.
Cruelty is the point.
Hello? Yah, hi. Community healthcare worker here in one of the most progressive states in the union here to tell you- there are no undocumented citizens in Medicaid. They cannot qualify for it. This argument needs to be put to rest. Couldn't even find coverage for a patient who's been here 10 years
@bynum.house.gov @wyden.senate.gov

Come on MAGA! It's time for you to understand we're in the middle of class warfare. The wealthy vs the poor NOT R vs L! We should be together in this fight! Let go of your hatred of those you 'think' you don't like! The ones you worship have been lying to you for 4 over decades now! Since about 1976
That obese orange primate isn't doing anything for the "average American;" he's on a middle East tour trying to sell us out even more so he can increase his family's wealth! That billion dollar reich-wing media machine is a beast that keeps their viewers in the dark to every damn thing! Successfully
I thought that orange primate had "a beautiful replacement for the ACA" aka "Obamacare?!" Didn't Diane Sawyer's team get handed a huge binder as they ran tf off from the interview leading up to the 2020 election?
The sadism in everything the GOP does. Kick over 13 million citizens off Medicaid and, AND, prevent them from finding coverage via the ACA marketplace. That is seriously vile. They literally want to kill as many Americans as they possibly can.
All of them know exactly what they're trying to do and should be held liable.
If these racist fools could only realize how terrified & desperate immigrants are, they'd know there're few, if any, who'd risk applying for any services, lest they be caught & sent back to the hell they risked lives to escape. I know there're some grifters,but Grifter trump beats them all by miles.
Even those few who do risk getting caught because they're desperately hungry enough to try for just EBT are taking those EBT benefits back to households that are ten people large and larger and spreading one person's worth of EBT around like too little butter on too much bread.
I had an employee at a place I owned up in Flagstaff, He worked 3 jobs & sent almost every dime home. His family was starving. No work, rough area. He couldn't open a bank account & he lived w/ other guys. He was robbed several times. He was a kind, hardworking, honest young man, I so admired him.
Even under the assumption that he was here off-the-record, he absolutely deserved access to EBT and Medicaid imo. You can speak directly to the fact that he paid taxes out of his check and contributed to our nations wealth. I think he should benefit from that, "illegal" or not.
And even if a migrant was paid cash under the table, we all pay many more taxes than fed/state income tax and so would they: sales tax, gasoline tax, utility taxes and special levies to pay for public projects. Even people who make too little to file fed tax contribute every day to public coffers.
Migrants support US business. They buy food, lodging, Everything they need & use is part of the economy we were so proud of. He's sending decent ppl out of our country when they could continue to help the economy he is responsible for. Trump is such a fool. Hope we can trespass him from WH. #86 him.
Put Trump in CECOT and see how he likes it then.
OMG. That's what I keep saying. It'd be poetic to see him spend his last days in a place like that. I dream about it. He's caused much harm to so many, been responsible for suffering & death & like he said so many would still vote for him. Maga doesn't care if he's criminal but we believe he'll pay.
Exactly. Trump doesn't realize everyone contributes to the economy he so enjoys. He can't see how deporting decent, hardworking people hurts us all. All he can see is his perverse racism, that he learned from his racist father. It's a disease and trump will rot away with his disease.It wont be long.
yea. I know there are scammers out there. Even some of my students were pretty slick but that goes for all the kids. The more poor & desperate the more temptation there is to make a buck. Ive seen real hunger though & there's no forgetting that. Trump thinks kindness is being a sucker. He's wrong.
I'm good with my tax dollars giving a scammer $200 or $300 in free groceries a month on top of whatever healthcare they need (~1% EBT fraud and ~5% Medicaid fraud identified yearly) if it means another 99 people who truly need EBT eat and another 19 people who truly need Medicaid receive healthcare.
Trump has never given a dime in kindness in all of his miserable life. How sad.
I should move to one of the Scandanavian countries.The stratification isn't so extreme. Here? For sure the rich get richer. The poor get poorer. I was a teacher. I know.
I was in my second semester at university seeking a teaching degree, and I gave up when I did the math using numbers that were current at the time and figured out that I was going to be in debt on that degree until I was in my late 50s because of how little teachers make in even the best states.
i think I heard that the foreign aid Doge got rid of cost each of us about 12 $ a year. American's got UUUUgly to save 10 bucks a year. That's sick.
And it didn't even really save us the money when you consider what we lost in social capitol and established good will with other nations. We're pariahs on the world stage now, and no one wants to deal with us. That's going to cost us billions if not trillions of dollars.
Their pants are on fire!!
Has anyone in the GOP reviewed the salary requirements for working Americans who are eligible for Medicaid? Might surprise them…. www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eli...
Because one of them might be undocumented.
They are generally not eligible if undocumented, I worked a hospital physician and saw the same guys about every 10 days come for emergency dialysis for kidney failure, if they go back to Mexico they won’t even get that care. No one gets reimbursed for that
Republicans are evil.
PERIOD
OMG I wish I could save this video
REPUBLICANS call it “ the final solution”….
No one can stop Trump’s deconstructing and destruction of the federal government and the American culture. And it looks like a third world war is developing around the world. And Trump as president is the perfect storm. And 77 million Trump Base supporters Voted for This. Democrats playby old rules.
This is leadership this is representation this is what a president should look like etc
Because they want everyone who isn't filthy rich, to be sick & destitute. Pretty simple, & oh so Christian.
If we somehow escape authoritarian rule (& that's a big IF) AOC = Future President
BECAUSE THEY LIE!
MAGAt math... it's what makes the stupid stupider...
If only incompetence at maths were the biggest problem we have with them
I am not sure if there is a better voice that connects with everyday people the way AOC does
Crockett does a damn good job and she has a set that GOP dream of.
I agree with that - she is awesome.
bsky.app/profile/aoc....
She’s smarter than all the Republicans put together and can see through their game easily. One of the few effective people on our side. Glad to have her.
You tell ‘em! Thanks AOC for all your hard work!
Russia has won this war. Unlike Russia and China, America only thinks in 2 year increments. Russia has been playing the long game to infiltrate America and has won. China played the long game of making their country the powerhouse of the world by being the manufacturer of all things.
Impeachment is up for vote by May 15 in House! m.youtube.com/watch?v=dvGQ... Call and email Reps. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Tell them loud: Vote yes! Reintroduce every 3 days till it passes! (Please repost)
It's laughable to claim there's a million undocumented people on Medicaid....give me a break.
One million undocumented people *are* documented - somehow. Or else how would you know there were one million people?
Just because they don't have documents proving citizenship, like birth certificate, passport etc, doesn't mean they are uncounted in a census.
That sounds like putting the cart before the horse to me. Or a circular argument. Or, maybe, just proving my point.
It's circular, and it's also not quite the whole picture. Taxes get collected from those who have fake identities, too, and that's a larger share of the data than what's reflected in the census. Those IRS records that DOGE stole are the main weight behind their claims.
But if they have fake identities that have fooled your irs, then theyre still documented!

Daily reminder that US Citizens are more dangerous and more mentally ill than immigrants most often.
I’m certainly starting to feel that way
Yeah but you can't lose your sense of humor about it either.
Who said I wasn’t going laugh at the lamentations of my enemies?
I’m certainly starting to feel that way
They want us dead?
They want the sick and elderly dead and children for labor
I say we start w both felons first (fElon & F45), they need to lead by example 🤣 Then, the Republie-cons follow suit, we can wait.
😁
Some of them for sure, yes, but I don't know that it's the goal for all of them. The wealthy class's greed is generally agnostic to others' hardship until those impoverished others rise up for economic justice. Then, the greed gets murderous. Since this last election cycle inspired a... 1/2
...a great deal of activism for exactly that, the greed is getting murderous. From their perspective, we won't have the time or energy to fight them stealing the wages of our labor if we're too busy trying to survive our own hunger and desperation. 2/2
They want anyone who cant take care of themselves to die. It's a nazi idea of eugenics. If you cant take care or support yourself and your family then you're a drain on society.
I'm taking care of 2 people right now, Mom and brother.
Sorry to hear that.
Jeebus will save you all!
She is really good at politicking.
MAGA can't do math.
AOC, AOC, AOC
It does add up if you remember that conservatives are the embodiment of killing ten innocent people on the off chance they'll get one guilty one.
You can break a few eggs without breaking a few extra to make sure you broke enough eggs
When you like breaking eggs for its own sake, there's no such thing as a wrong or extra egg, and every egg is rewarding.
Do they have any proof that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. And by that I mean *real* proof, gathered *before* Musk started mucking about with Social Security's records, because he's mis-marked records before. Do they have proof that one million undocumented people are STILL here?
Even if 1 million undocumented are still in the system (which I doubt) that's still no reason to deprive 13.7 million CITIZENS of access to healthcare. Frankly, I do not trust ANY of the data coming out of DOGE or Musk's mouth. I want 2024 data printed out hard copy BEFORE that person got access.
Undocumented immigrants don’t get Medicaid, they pay into social security but don’t get the benefits
I haven't seen anyone say they have seen the documentation that there are a million immigrants on Medicaid. If they had proof, we would probably have seen it.
She is very smart.
You win today at sarcasm.
Yes, R's denigrated her because she was then the youngest member of Congress, came from minimal means and took jobs of low pay to pay her own way through college, believes in renewable energy, and she works hard both to be prepared and solve problems, and all of it is a threat to them.
Agreed! We have no one so immensely dumb as trump!
because of their own lunacy and greed
Full Video here: The Math is Not Additing Up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3yX... This is worth listening to if you are in need of medical care and rely upon Medicaid to pay your health premiums, purchase insurance from the Affordable Care Act, or keep your rural hospital from closing.
Nick Langworthy 23rd District NY R, Jay Obernolte 23rd District Ca R, Gabe Evans 8th District Co. R, if you live there call and inquire if they are going to vote to cut your access healthcare.
Thank you. This is very helpful.
Check out Paulforca23.com #CA23
She is so smart and so well spoken!
Thank you AOC! Someone needs to standup with the facts!
But the solution was Medicare for All, and the Dems stopped pushing that before the pandemic. It really sounds like a sheep-herding assignment given to AOC. Dems weren't serious about protecting people with coverage that couldn't be yanked from them.
But this has gone overboard. don’t ya think? A bit too far even for a Democrat.
Anyone can look up my registration. I am a Democrat. But the Democrats are a mess, and they patted themselves on the back about the Medicaid expansion, which was really just a half-measure. And half-measures easily get yanked.
(I live in Japan, but I am an American.)
What exactly is a bit too far?
Humanity and decency have been dissolving at a rapid pace. Not having basic health care is going a bit to far. Simply put!
Gotcha, I misunderstood what you were saying.
No worries
Shit to far is not being able to secure insurance! If you are low income what do you do? This is not a one sided issue if the republicans or the democrats can’t come together and find a suitable solution it has gone to far.
It's beyond all points we are off the fabric of reality ---- they stopped govt assessment of viral loads in the waste water /like they did to track COVID also: ⬇⬇ FDA 🧀🥓 toxins : 🥕🍅 🐝🐝 etc slicing through us 😞 🔪🍞
Demonizing brown immigrants to justify tax cuts for billionaires is how this country rolls. Not surprising at all.
Ok really think she’ll go places. She speaks very clearly and ‘tells it like it is’. Hey- we should start saying that!!!
It's one of those days it's hard to be nicely nice democrats and I truly think it's time to completely vote everyone of them fuckers out of office permanently l tried to be nice and I truly think l did alot better than l wanted too l definitely believe we should do that right back at them completely
Their thinking - If a fox is in the hen house - nuke the hen house to teach the hens a lesson about letting foxes in. Who cares about the eggs or the hens?!?!
