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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
