NOW do people understand why while the CBO keeps talking about 10 million or 16 million Americans losing healthcare coverage, I keep talking about it being up to *46* million?

Trump is betraying the voters big time.
Beyond evil !
First they say they'll make rural hospitals whole, but then they cut the entire Medicaid expansion. The rural hospital payoff isn't enough, now.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social So waiting on the Dem version of the BBBill…Project 2026/2028…why are you not out in every state screaming at the top of your lungs what your version of the bill and agenda is? You/DNC are hopeless, weak and an embarrassment. Total failure all!
Screaming at the top of your lungs doesn't give you a majority in the House or Senate. This bill got passed last November.
Agrée, but if we want to stop the carnage and win in 2026/2028, need to be organized, consistent, strategic, loud. There is no organized counter attack on the part of Dems. MAGA gets in line and speaks with one voice and they are winning We call Dem mayoral candidates terrorists Pathetic
Strategic counterattack for...the midterms? They are 16 months away. Messaging isn't going to stop the republican majorities.
The math is the math... but we've known their plan all along . They told us in 2024. It has been a pathetic, disorganized weak response by Dems since November Lots of great law makers trying to be heard MAGA is just so much better at this. Calling Dem mayoral candidate a jihadist... come on!
🙄 Do you follow ANY Democrats? Do you know what the DNC does? All of the Democrats have been posting on social media and doing town halls. Jeffries and Schumer are not the DNC. They also have to be in the Senate fighting this. What are you even talking about?
That is the problem..everyone doing their thing. No plan, no coherent strategy, no leadership, no shadow cabinet. Senators calling a Dem candidate a terrorist. I get 5texts/hr for money from DNC, tho. MAGA speaks with one voice..it may be hateful but they walk their talk and r winning
And Dems are raising historical amounts of money and overperforming in 2025. What you really want them to do now is roll back the clock and make the math different. They cannot do that! Either get on board and help elect more Dems or accept the destruction voters chose.
I am on board..the math is the math..but if you want to change it, Dems need to speak loudly and consistentl with one voice that speaks to a larger and younger electorate. Dem establishment leaders calling a young progressive mayoral candidate a jihadist ain't it
Glad you listen to MAGA and hear them so clearly! Cut me a break. They do have a shadow cabinet. Do you follow @democrats.org or @kenmartin.bsky.social or anyone? It’s not “them doing their own thing”. The town halls are a coordinated strategy. You are very uninformed. Follow some Democrats.
Disagree I can have Chat GPT write me the Dem Project 2025/BBB and it would be better than what is coming out of the Dem establishment right now. Lots of media appearances where we cry foul, tho It's hard to not listen to MAGA cuz they have an actual, albeit hateful, but very loud strategy.
Oh
Thank Reagan for "trickle down" economics. Under Trump, billionaires will decide what cuts to make to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran's benefits, education for poorer states, food stamps for hungry children in order to fund an extension of Trump's tax breaks for billionaires.
Well, fucking assholes, maybe before coming after govt anencies that help people, Republicans should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. Do you want to save some money? Let's start there.
@jenrubin.bsky.social
This is fucking nuts. Can this possibly pass???
What's to stop it?
Sometime Monday the cultists will bring this to the Senate floor! Nucking futz!
Their goal is STILL to COMPLETELY wipe out the ACA, just via different means than the frontal assault they tried 8 years ago That’s 20M on Medicaid via ACA expansion, 24.2M on ACA exchange plans & 1.8M on BHP coverage…46M total, or 14% of the entire U.S. population.
If there was any sanity in this world, these cuts would be unconstitutional under the same theory that the mandatory expansion was... But that's not what's up
Same as it ever was.
8 years ago I actually registered ACASignoffs.net & changed the logo of my site to it for 24 hours to mourn the imminent repeal of the law. There’s a very real danger of it actually happening this time…without the law itself actually officially being repealed.
I posted this on 1/20/21…the day President Biden was inaugurated: acasignups.net/21/01/20/we-...
I’m just trying to limp along until Medicare. A precarious position for a senior on a fixed income.
In virtually every other country people are deemed valuable enough to be worthy of basic medical care, regardless of their employment status. I will never understand why so many Americans vote for people who value them so little.
Probably more than that with what this would do to insurance and healthcare providers
The Republican goal is to kill millions of Americans 😢
Because not everyone on earth is a complete monster, the resulting health impacts will be a burden assumed by the states (some states) who will have to raise taxes to deliver half of what we have now. Suffering in all directions, but healthcare execs will still get bonuses AND tax cut.
MSNBC said the cuts to Medicaid are so deep some rural hospitals will actually go out of business
35 rural hospitals in some areas will close down in some rural areas. I can't remember where I read this but I will look for a source.
Hhholy shit.
Rick Scott? Mr. Medicaid Thief?
do any of these guys understand that United is a publicly traded company, in addition to the bond market getting justifiably nervous that this budget is the fiscal version of running onto the battlefield to shoot the wounded rural hospital payments aren't going to bail out the marketplaces, AYFKM
This hurts all Democratic states so they will 100% do it.
True, but it also hurts a lot of Republican & swing states. Not including Johnson’s Wisconsin of course.
Republicans will stab themselves once if it means they can stab a Democrat twice.
« We » Can Afford To Care For Americans
And if it is up to 46 million, I wonder how many of them voted for Trump, the GOP candidates up and down the ballot, and now regret their decision? We're going to have to make the case to reach out to those folks to persuade them to vote blue from now through November 2026, and also thereafter.
It is absurd that Democrats need “to make the case” in the face of this blatant assault by the GOP. I don’t know if we can help them if they need to be convinced.
