Nearly half of all the rural hospitals left in Missouri are at risk of closure — the proposed Medicaid cuts will likely finish them off. Closing these hospitals not only harms the people in these communities, but it will also hasten the death of these communities.
But…. Isn’t that what QANON/QMAGA voted for? Isn’t THIS what they’ve been INSISTING on, since 2012??? What’s the problem?🤷🏻♀️ They’re finally getting what they WANT. They need to shut their whining, pedorapist pussygrabbing pieholes. This is every single thing they’ve worked so hard for. #Nazis.
Yep in every single one of them that voted a republican can have that thought on their head when they pass away because they brought their own death upon themselves. Sad to be cruel like that but it's the truth that they're going to have to face it's called reality
That's the plan though. Kill them off.
MAGA voters?
It’s wild to me that the people in those areas don’t get this.
The good people of MO seem to be ok with that. Last year they had the ability to vote leaders into federal office that would have worked for them, not the billionaires. And yet the mostly rural folk went for more of the same…by 14 percentage points. So there’s that 🤷🏻♀️
Sadly we all did not vote for him and mo has done a great job of geery mandering the state
I have been giving gerrymandering a lot of thought recently. I think that once people are really suffering (ie: no food or healthcare) and it can be directly related to their representatives legislative votes in Congress, even gerrymandering won’t help get them re-elected. Hoping for change soon.🤞🤞🤞
That is my hope years ago they messed with Medicare and they lost elections for YEARS afterwards and I am hoping that something good comes of this shit show.
I hate when people suggest red states should suffer. Actually, I hate the very concept of red states vs blue states. Even in the “reddest” states A LOT of people who voted against this (around 40% in my state) will suffer, as will A LOT of people who couldn’t vote, like children and immigrants.
I just hope with all my heart that the folks who actually voted for this won’t be spared any of the suffering that’s on the horizon and will come to regret their vote. 🤞🤞🤞
Often one of the largest employers
Exactly! Not only are rural hospitals major employers in their communities, why would anyone want to move to or remain in a community without health care available locally?
They want to exploit the land, they want you kettled, dirt poor, and really traumatized. As we all worry about money which will be worthless. This is my conspiracy theory for the day.✌️
All they need is one citizen there to maintain their R rep in the state legislature. So they can keep voting to hurt brown people, gays, women, etc. That's all they care about.
Like an addict, those addicted to the propaganda may have to hit rock bottom to realize they’ve been played for fools, when all the comforts of democracy are gone and the thieves have robbed them of their illusions, only then will they surrender to the truth of their dispictability. Maybe then?
I am more concerned about all the people that had the carpet pulled out from them by trump voters/supporters. Trump supporters are beyond redemption ... I have no empathy for them. At this point if they want to cut their own throat I will sharpen the knife for them.
In the case of terminal illness I am a self euthanasia supporter. Trumpism is terminal for our democracy, that’s why I would support civil war
Closing the rural public schools is another death blow to small communities like mine.
#CrueltyIsThePoint for these #MAGAMorons.
Having been born in a country with universal free healthcare it was always a mystery to me that so many Americans seem to be so against the concept
We need to get that they're hurting people deliberately. Josh Hawley said as much. The important point then becomes, why are they deliberately hurting us? This isn't benign neglect, it's intentional har.
Every few months I post something like, "They're trying to kill us aren't they?" and someone else will argue that surely that's not the actual intent.
I won't be that person. I don't know why anyone would think the same level of human cruelty which has existed throughout history and around the world can't have its moment in the USA. In fact, I think black people, Chinese immigrants, and Native Americans have a thought or two on that matter.
Remember this: Hawley talked a good game for Missouri, but when it came time, he voted yes. Yes to taking food and healthcare away from his constituents. He listened to the needs of the people he represents, then CHOSE to betray them.
Right. He knew what he was doing. He said what they were doing. Then he voted to do it.
They don’t care. Some of them downright enjoy it.
Sociopaths in charge.....
Not to mention the sadists. Mostly, though, they're just Courtiers chuckling as Marie Antoinette intones "let them eat cake."
Josh hawley just voted for trump’s bill that will escalate the closing of hospitals and cut Medicaid. He’s just another trump liar. Anything he says he will do to help his constituents is only for the moment to get votes. Never forget his fist pumping on Jan 6. He’s another cruel MAGA.
He said the quiet part out loud, then he voted for it. He has no place to hide, if Missourians decide to hold him accountable. Granted, that's a tall order in a state where the entire government is owned by billionaire Rex Sinquefield.
And watch Missouri turn around and vote for Hawley again.
Sad but probably true.
the problem Jess is that in Missouri, a majority of those people that need those hospital vote for people (MAGA/TRUMP) that literally ran on taking away their hospitals/resources.......those people HATE black/brown/transgender people more that whats in the best interest of their families
Agree with you, however MAGA controls almost everything rural communities ingest: billboards, radio ads, local tv...even talk tracks at church. It's an uphill battle to connect the dots for members of rural communities.
the best lie is to tell people what they WANT to hear .......MAGA is the people, they're the church pastors , neighbors, store owner etc....these rural communities want to have a group (s) to hate and MAGA/Trump are masters at providing that
Some want to hate people but not all of them. There’s just not enough sunlight (and education) reaching our rural communities.
thats who they ARE...they use faith and patriotism as a justification to hate others and to be ignorant...if you could bring back their great grand parents from the 19th century, they would sound just like their descendants today....they are not some sort of victim, they are just saturated with hate
Ironically, their great grandparents from the 19th century were largely immigrants.. at least in rural Wisconsin and I imagine for rural Missouri it's similar. White immigrants, but immigrants all the same.
It has never been easier to search for information away from one’s own doorstep.
EXACTLY......again, the best lie is to say what people WANT TO HEAR....i've canvassed in these rural areas; bringing TRUTH & FACTS can get you killed; the white churches in those communities are the main incubator of hate SO if you say anything contrary to their racist pastor, that can get serious
Is there a rural hospital fund in the GOP bill? If so, what impact would it have? Honestly asking.
$25 billion making up for $930 billion in Medicaid cuts (not to mention Medicare cuts)? Sounds like fighting a self-started fire with a water pistol
I would agree, but I'm concerned that, going forward, Republicans will protect their constituents by targeting benefits to rural areas while gutting common commitments.
Murkowski just tried that and failed.
The evidence has been that they will apply destruction to all: - no fema help, including for states led by fmr 45 admin officials - deportations of white maga supporters among other supporters - reversal of policy to not raid donor/supporter businesses - maga supporters fired from govt jobs
Missouri will become another American 3rd.world state…right up there with Arkansas, Alabama and Texas.
This is what they voted for. We begged them to read Project 1025.
No one should have to go through this, but a lot of people voted for this. They knew this would happen, because they were warned…
I hate being the bad guy, but these red states that voted for him, maybe they need to see the consequences of their actions. Because they keep consistently voting this way thinking nothing‘s going to happen to them…. Rarely do people change their behavior, unless there are consequences.
Why is MAGA pro-death?
Health care deserts = preventable adverse outcomes. Our 2 senators will be responsible.
Call your senators! Your voice matters; use it. 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on...
It’s what they voted for…
Thank you GOP
And the #GreedyOldPendejos along w their cult leader will state: Mission Accomplished!
And now; BACK TO THE GOLF COURSE, there is a game to finish!
Guess that's what they wanted.
By the time it hits home with them it will be too late.
Rich people view poor people as "costing them". This is perfect for rich people. They get more of the pie, and the poor people won't cost them as much, and hopefully will get sick and die young. Cutting off healthcare and vaccines will help. The fewer poor people the more money for the rich. Right?
Bet M Missouri went computer voting to rig elections for republicans so they could take us back to the dark ages. ⬇️
They weren't rigged, most Missourians chose to vote for the Rs. Elections have consequences. Very sad.
Sorry can’t agree. RIGGED‼️‼️‼️
REPUBLICANS are the Enemy of the People and always have been. Republicans are pushing through their dreams via Trump and have effed up the courts, the government agencies, to achieve this.
Yes‼️‼️‼️👍👍👍
Oh well.
And Republicans do not care!!!
Well, the MAGAts voted for this; and will probably be the victims when hospitals close. The 1% wealthy don't care (especially the ones in Government)- they're covered. This is a "Let them eat cake" moment - lets see if the outcome is the same.
Missourians have done this to themselves. Republicans have been running this state in the ground for over 20 years.
Many of them are at risk regardless of Medicare cuts!
Southern Rural States are gonna do without healthcare because there is NO way these GOP lead states have any intention of doing anything to fund keeping them open. We are about to experience real States Rights all the way across. No Fed to protect from any of us from them now.
Loss of best jobs for the most educated in small cities will be irreplaceable. Thousands of Doctors RNs, aids, cleaning staff, specialty staff, cooks and servers will be catastrophic.
The closing of rural hospitals will have a ripple effect for those of us living in urban centers. No one will be spared in the healthcare collapse.
During COVID a lot of covid patients from rural Missouri had to be transferred to KC, StL, Omaha, or even DFW. Which ended up further straining an already strained system.
Pretty minimal, honestly. Everything that's really high acuity already gets transferred anyway, some will refuse transfer and take their chances, some won't survive the journey, what's left is pretty low acuity/easy for big city general. Not trying to be a jerk, but that's the reality.
I was born in Clifton, Arizona (pop. 3,000), a remote mining town in Eastern Arizona. The nearest hospital is now 46 miles away. If that closes, the nearest hospital will be 172 miles away in Tucson (a 3-hour drive). This could actually happen if Trump's Big Beautiful Bill passes.
I believe that's the point. In early drafts of what is now Project 2025, they call it "thinning the herd." The elderly, sick, women who can't produce children, etc. You can find copies of these documents by using a VPN and a browser such as Safari/Opera. These drafts began 3 decades ago.
And they will blame that "Obamacare" 🙄
Between magats being mostly boomers, ignoring common sense ways to avoid getting Covid, their fear of any vaccines, dependence on sheep dewormers, poor diet, and now this, I’ll be surprised if there’s any trumpers left in a few years.
Hawley doesn’t care, he doesn’t even live there.
And yesterday (Jul 1, 2025) Josh Hawley, U.S. Senator from #Missouri voted for that Big Brutal Bill that chops a TRILLION in #Medicaid funds. Where was Super Hero Hawley yesterday? You know, the one who distinguished himself on JANUARY 6th. He clocked incredible speeds running from the capitol
You would think that the ultra rich would even for selfish reasons want to keep rural hospitals open. Don’t they hike or ski or hunt. The emergency room is an equal opportunity resource.
That’s the point. The very wealthy don’t need as much arable land to support themselves. Automated agricultural will make it possible for far fewer workers to grow and harvest crops. “Elysium” without the space station.
And??? Look, we are all going to die. Am I right? That's the philosophy More death solves Medicare It also solves Social Security SS was set up when life span was barely in the 60s We can get back to the good old days When America was great Republican solution to hunger is to eat the poor
The people of Missouri need to step up & fund THEIR own hospitals.
That’s just it, republicans are trying to kill as many Americans as possible.
Like They Care
Do something about it America.
Call your Senators And Congressmen. Remind them of their duties to their constituents. Give facts about how many of their constituents rely on Medicaid. Tell them the number of rural hospitals that will close, the number of nursing homes that will close, the number of children that won’t be fed.
If the Medicaid cuts don’t finish them off, spending half their day with insurance companies justifying procedures, lawyers reviewing procedure liability and criminal exposure, security reviewing safety protections for conspiracy-mad patients… that will do it. But as Joni says…
After Walmart rural hospitals are usually the second biggest employer! This is going to be a blood bath for these communities!
...AND, Missouri just VOTED "Again" for Hawley who DOESN'T give a damn about them! ... Please explain this STUPIDITY!!! 🤪🤪🤪
My grandmother was a nurse in a town of less that 2000. My Dad had a heart and they got him stable enough to go to a larger hospital, if not he would have died. He lived 50 more years.
I went there when I had measles and who knows how many bouts of strep throat. They delivered most of my classmates.
Josh Hawley, killing off his own constituents, how GOP
They can move to Kansas City or St. Louis and eventually become liberals.
Sounds easy, but how do you sell a house in an area that has no hospital and with Medicaid reduced,increased poverty? At least they'll have the 11 Commandments to recite in school. #11 Thou shalt not expect justice.
I joke a lot. I'm serious when I post, but I do it in a joking manner. On a serious note, I have no sympathy for those who voted against themselves. This last election pushed me over the line. I have no more you-know-whats to give.
Maintaining a sense of humor becomes more difficult every day. With 3 DOGE boys working at Social Security headquarters I believe you'll find the death of humor coming soon.
That's my No. 1 fear. When I saw that they won the trifecta on election night, I knew we were in deep trouble.
NEVER STOP LAUGHING! (then they win ... Laugh at them to the bitter end.)
Missourians - you never know what you've got until it's gone. The time to resist cuts to your Medicaid is now. Call your reps or learn how good what you once had was.
True, which is exactly why Donalds wants this bill to pass. Tick-tock America!
City folk (like me) don’t really get it until someone you love (like your mom) moves out to Mo to retire peacefully… and can’t get to a decent hospital. Those places need more funding, not less. People are going to die.
Yet their senator votes for it... So there's that
That’s their goal
Missouri’s Representatives and Senators do NOT care. Hell, I bet they’re itching for small communities to die off so they can swoop in with their big ag companies and gobble up the land for themselves to make a buck.
We the american people should never let them talk about sabotaging what benefits us as a benefit, it should be stopped in its tracks !
Blame Trump and Republicans it’s all their fault
I’m really worried
I don't understand why any of their congress people and senators would vote to harm the people who had voted for them to improve their lives
Because they do not care about them, or anyone but themselves and their mega-rich donors. They are all for the rich.
From your numerous speaking engagements, do you get the feeling that the majority of the people understand the threat or do you think it's just the boy calling wolf?
This is what the “pro-life” GOP is all about and has been for decades. I feel bad only for the folks who voted blue. Everyone else voted for this repeatedly and are simply lying in the bed they made.
Don't worry. Those 10 year old farm worker kids who lose a hand in the thresher can just drive to the nearest city when they need a hospital.
In Ohio, we having been bracing for this since Jan. It's coming to all states with rural hospitals. And my state is no different. We are waiting for the nursing home system to fail in Ohio. And then a lot of medical services, medical equipment, etc.. are going to go under.
The same is true for rural NC hospitals where I live. People will die. It will be a horrific preventable disaster.
I’m trying to imagine Springfield as the only place with a hospital available to the public between there & St Louis—I’m not sure Rolla’s would make it. Here in Tennessee we’ve lost at least 20 rural hospitals since 2010, because our GOP supermajority won’t pass the Medicaid expansion.
Lost them because the citizens voted for it.
Too many of us had their votes lost to gerrymandering, or didn’t get a chance to vote at all—they might not vote the “correct” way! In 2021 I went from living in a district that always went blue to one that sent Andy Ogles to Congress, all because they cut up Nashville between surrounding districts
Which the MO legislature will allow to be sold to foreign investors for slave labor factories
Hospitals and nursing homes have already been picked clean by equity firm$ and now this horrific bill could finish them off.
Well that's the idea. Trump only wants 'rich people' to exist, because as usual, he hasn't the brainpower to ask himself if any of the rich will sweep the streets, empty the bins, care for the sick, after the essential workforce has died off,emigrated or been deported.
Republicans don't want hospitals
** For democrats, or the poor
Because the GOP hates us and wants us to die. The cruelty is the point
bsky.app/profile/indi...
That's what they are counting on
Just give them some ivermectin. They were good taking that before, I’m sure it will cure whatever ails them in the future. They can always just re-up at the local farm Depot.
Rural reds voted for this. They are getting what they wanted. Not sad.
Well, that's great. I live in a red county in a blue state. I did not vote for this, so yeah, I am sad.
We gotta split the country or some shit and secede the union. We’re fucked actually. We didn’t rise up and once this bill passes- we won’t be able to. Welcome to our dystopian nightmare.
I'm 100% for seceding. There's nothing for us here.
Yet not one person has stepped up to lead us or formed a coalition amongst states and leaders unilaterally to protect us at all costs
We have the scientists on our side, the scholars, the thinkers, the historians. We have all those in the military who have been pushed out or marginalized or have family being deported or afraid. We have all the veterans, who know a thing or two about battle. We have the world behind us.
To get together to lead us and establish state to state connections and worldwide support against trump. NO one will help us if we don’t take up the fight for ourselves. We need someone who can organize forces, we have the people to do it- it’s a matter of getting together.
In order to secede the states gotta seize all federal properties to start. The problem is we have no leader. U need someone with connections to the world like Obama in a coalition with the other former presidents and esteemed people like Kamala, sanders, the Top generals forced out cuz of DEI
Calm down, we’re all fucked. “ No one here gets out alive” - to quote Jim Morrison and our current government.
Same here from central California
… because they’re a death cult 🤨
Unfortunately, IQ47 and the GOP want to thin the herd. Every EO, or BBB they are proposing, hurts the elderly, minorities, LGQBT, women, the sick, and children. If they cut Medicaid, the most vulnerable will die. They want Merica to be White again and women to be submissive. Prove me wrong!
And for what? To transfer more wealth to the already obscenely wealthy.
The deaths of those who would have been saved. I'll regret the death of towns, but the death of people who would have lived is much worse.
You don’t hear them worrying about losing their hospitals though🤷♂️
You have accurately portrayed the health care plan of this administration.. " the proposed Medicaid cuts will likely finish them off. " "not only harms the people in these communities, but it will also hasten the death of these communities"
Even though rural hospitals will by hit the hardest, all hospitals will but hit. Hospitals cover the cost of caring for the uninsured, cuts to staff and cuts to care will come
And people will be sicker when they finally show up at a hospital farther away because they didn’t get preventative care.
Most will get scooped up by big med monopolies (think Kaiser Permanente) whose main goal it will be to make money at the expense of standards of care.
No, they won't. Nobody will want them. They will just close. If KP did scoop them up that would be the luckiest day in their lives.
That’s the whole plan. They just haven’t thought this thru. If they kill all their voters, who will vote for them then?
Maybe they think they no longer need voters. This is my grave concern.
Death is the point
In the wise words of Mitch and Joni everyone dies and the survivors will get over it. It’s what they voted for. Hopefully they will make better choices in future elections
Spain under Carlos II showed the full “success” of enforced loyalty—no heretics, no dissent—but the land was ruined, depopulated, and starving. Even the feeble king couldn’t get enough to eat. That’s the end result of absolute power.
The people who work at those facilities will lose their jobs. Healthcare workers will have to travel further for employment, and patience will have to travel further for care. People will die. Republicans don't care.
well, at least there's gonna be some equality here... last I checked rich and poor have to go to the same hospital, it's not gonna be like education where the rich were already sending their kids to private schools so cuts didn't affect them...
The wealthy (who will gain from this bill) will not be impacted by rural hospitals and nursing homes closing. They don't live in rural areas of the nation. They also have private healthcare & can go anywhere to get the care they need.
yeah, we're fucked. it's gonna get ugly.
Many times those facilities are the largest employer in those small communities. The job loss will be devastating. There's no way for red States to make up the Medicaid shortfall either. Yes, many Trump voters (who'll blame Biden) will be fucked. Sadly, decent folks too.
#RepublicanGenocide
Rural Missouri voted overwhelmingly for Trump. My tank of empathy for these people is empty.
FAFO🤷🏼♀️
We need to be 26 million or more on Friday. We cannot lose momentum. They didn't seem to hear us at 13 million. Please Americans, Make A Protest Your Patriotic Duty. youtu.be/WcGQy6Vt6hY?...
Well, how do you like your decision to put trump in office? How bout now? Dumb@$$!
Just as long as Donald and the MAGAs maintain their benefits is all that matters and remember; KIDS EAT FREE AT THE MAR A LAGO BREAKFAST BUFFET!
Their dream come true apparently.
Republicon gov thugs agenda kill for billionaires and millionaires. Everyone else is disposable. @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social
#RepublicansAreOkayWithThis
Only half of Americans know anything about this monstrous Bill.
These billionaires are so short-sighted. Haven't they figured out that if they kill off their workforce they won't make any more money?
Seems to me, seems to be the goal.
Trump Rule #1: never give a shit about anybody but yourself unless it's about Trump. Got it? LOSERS!
Rural red Missouri voted for this.
My prayers for these people is the scales fall from their eyes.
Because they couldn’t stomach a black woman in the most powerful position in the country.
Exactly! And when Ernst said "we're all going to die" I was like duh...it's not about the dying, it's about living WELL! Anyone with guaranteed healthcare (looking at you, Congress) shouldn't be able to take away someone else's!
They actually did vote for this but they'll find a way to blame Biden.
So, rural folks will move to the city for healthcare and discover that they can walk from their car, through the parking lot, without being attacked by immigrant gangs? I’d call that a win….
Sarcasm, right?
A little. However, I had a Colorado coworker who was amazed that I would tell him about walking around in Seattle and the waterfront. He had never been, with no desire to travel, because our country was overwhelmingly filled with dangerous brown and black folks.
Disgusting! Shameful racist asshats….🤬
Thanks for your continued work, Jess. I’m from your neck of the woods originally. Really appreciate your voice these last few years. And HCR boosted your remarks!!! Congrats on that!!!
Same but Alabama
The community hospital in my ruby red county is the third largest employer in the county.
But it's OK. Sen. Traitor Tot Josh Hawley said he opposed Medicaid cuts right before he voted for them. He's got your back!
People don't get that hospitals really benefited from Obamacare and expanded Medicaid. They will close. They just didn't get paid before, but treated people anyway.
I don't give a shit about that. We can recover from that. I care about ICE getting more money than any law enforcement entity in the history of the nation. They will kill us with that money. 1984. It's here in 2025
Yeh well I used to live in that god forsaken state and trust me. Plenty of ignorant MAGA in those rural areas voted for this shit.
Facts. I'm just curious to see how long they're going to keep blaming it all on Democrats and Biden. Or autopen. Or Hunter's laptop. Or WHATEVER the fear of the week is. 🙄
Also this would destroy the state economy.
Witnessing from my country north of you, I can only feel tremendous anger and empathy The thing that many Americans don’t understand is that the failure and deaths are not a byproduct but the actual goal 💯 This was always the plan
Mostly MAGAts
Faces meeting leopards
Ironic since it’s the rural communities that have overwhelmingly voted for this to happen. FAFO I guess. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
North Alabama is always predictable
And negatively impact the function of the remaining hospitals.
Wyoming is suffering similarly. Never expanded Medicaid. Women who can afford to are moving temporarily out of state to have their babies, pulling even more funds away from rural hospitals. People still vote R. When will they pull their heads out?
Didn't a number of Wyoming hospitals close their labor and delivery departments in the last few years? It's funny/sad when the pro-natalist sentiments can't be backed up by the financial statements.
Rural communities that overwhelmingly voted for Trump. This will be the worst FAFO in our lifetimes.
Jess-please stress that even if you have other medicalinurance, you'll be hit just as hard if your local hospital closes. No one is connecting the (rather obvious) dots!!
Sucks to make bad choices and elect bad people.
Absolutely along with actual deaths. Republicans never fix anything. They only destroy.
Republican leadership is issuing a bribe by proposing $250B to assist rural hospitals. This of course will likely be sent to red states as cover for the votes they need. The DEFICIT BE DAMMED!
People keep pointing out that Americans are going to die because of this bill as if the GOP aren't a death cult who are thrilled at the idea of the Other dying in the streets.
Hopefully Missourians are calling Josh Hawley non-stop & will remember his betrayal when he is up for reelection.
According to Josh, they are calling to say they don't want healthcare.
So Josh has gone from saying that the bill is “immoral” to now saying his constituents do not want healthcare?
I think his constituents are scaring him.
Non-MAGA constituents should be calling him nonstop.
Missouri has to pay for Medicaid if the vote doesn’t pass. It was on their ballot last year. The betrayal already came. And they voted for him anyway.
The Republican Electorate have a combined memorie retention of Goldfish 🇮🇪🇪🇺
Yeah, too bad Donnie Taco is da boss.
Thanks so much Hawley - you show that you despise your constituents with your actions
That pos☝🏾
Pretty that’s the real goal here. The oligarchs want to be able to buy up all the land cheaply.
if this leads to a concentration of people in cities and an emptying out of the countryside, might that not be a stealth win?
#FAFO #MAGA #MAGATS
Yep ☎️202-224-3121 and tell senate to #VoteNo
I hope that every non trump voters gets any help they need. I hope all trump voters never get any help for anything at all.
Seems there is a cost to “SEEING RED”
That’s what they want, kill off as many as possible 😡
Killing off rural communities grows population centers, consolidates power.
Killing people and killing jobs. I hope the people in those communities who voted for a rapist felon January 6 insurrectionist sociopath now see that when you let your hate lead you when you try to destroy other communities, that circle of life called karma will inevitably catch you too.
Yup. Now if we could only get your asshole of a senator to stop lying to Missourians and for once do something that has their best interests at heart. But we're talking about lying Josh Hawley, so there's 2 chances of that happening, the fat and slim
Unfortunately most people in Missouri have this attitude otherwise the whole state would be fighting like crazy to save their hospitals😂 plus u gotta remember that Missouri has been living under project 2025 for the last 10 years & democrats at the national level have been saving them too.
Weird how they all voted for their own destruction
Republicans want to create the very system of overcrowded hospitals that they say happens in countries that have free healthcare.
Big Bad Billionaire Bastards Bill
And they will continue to vote for Republicans.😵💫
I’m sure nobody cares
I warned the Vote Red Til Dead crowd, MAGA was a lost cause, that their votes would be a generational catastrophe. Many are realizing their party is no longer the one of their parents and grandparents and surprisingly have reached out to say they should have listened.
That's the Republicans' goal.
Untreated debilitating and deadly viruses and bacterial infections will fan out to plague not just the poor, but the affluent and super-affluent. I call it "The Trickle Up Theory." Think of Edgar Allan Poe's "Masque of the Red Death."
Unless it’s possible to make people understand that cruelty is the purpose for these policies, they’re doomed. And those of us who do understand it will be right behind them. If it comes to that, I ain’t going quietly.
time to move out of Missouri if you need healthcare.
And yet the majority of voters there will continue voting Republican. Voting themselves to death.
And then Republicans will tell them it's the Democrats fault the Republicans gutted Medicaid, and in the next general election, Republicans will win in a landslide anyway because nobody ever learns shit.
Have you noticed the millions of folks protesting and even in red states.
Absolutely. But because everything is gerrymandered to hell and back, the odds have been stacked against us.
Sorry if I sounded cynical but it's not like people don't care that things have gone to pot. It's just been a slow decay caused by unfavorable voting practices.
My Mom died because of the lack of rural hospitals in SW MO. They lived too far away, and she died on the way to the hospital. She was a Democrat.
Maybe they should have been a blue states starting in 2016.
They will still probably vote red !!
If hospitals that pay federal taxes taxes are being cut off from financial resources (& closing) from the federal government itself, then private sector providing essential health services should be paying a 50% tax rate to support the system of universal healthcare.
The only silver lining is that maga is going to suffer from the bbb worse than any other group which will helpful in 26 and 28, if those votes even happen.
You’re absolutely correct. However, MAGA’s don’t care. They welcome the death of America.
Just quit and let the shit get passed. Then run on it if there are elections in 11/26
which could be a subtle reason to do it, more cheap land to gobble up by the ultra wealthy...
No one is talking about how this will also raise insurance rates for everyone.
Idaho too😱
Ours here in Brewton is too... We're fighting to save it 😭
Horrible! No respect for human life. Most folks in those areas voted for this thanks to lies from Foxnews & the republicans that pay them off.
Same here in southern Illinois. Like 52 hospitals in jeopardy. Wtf
Thoughts and prayers
Qui bono? Who benefits from this?
Medicaid cuts have already started administratively. Some clinics in Minnesota are not taking new Medicaid patients.
Which is the point. To kill off all of us undesirables.
The rural hospital communities need to call their senators. If memory serves me right, they voted red in the last election.
I'm beginning to think that's the plan. Only the fit/healthy & worthy will survive.
Sick, hungry desperate people will do just about anything to survive…that’s the end goal
So, we should start calling the CRIMINAL “Jim Jones”, I suppose..
Look how they cater to the mega rich, how they erase freedom and fairness, how they destroy truth and eviscerate empathy and kindness toward everyone but rich white christian men. Look how they ignore gun violence and the climate catastrophe now unfolding. Republicans are a fascist Death Cult.😞🚩
you know "Tea Party" used to talk about Obama's "death panel" when referring to ACA, what Trump is doing with Medicaid and Medicare is the actual "death panel", it's the real deal and Dems should call it that.
Just remember who voted for this
