🗣 LIBERALS WILL DOWNPLAY EVERYTHING

EUGENICS is the effort to maim and kill people by all means necessary so only the strong and wealthy survive.

🗣 THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “SOFT” #EUGENICS

there is and has always been the need by sociopaths to kill everybody they deem weak and undeserving.

theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int

that’s why when i call eugenics the #GOP #republicans plot to kill #Obamacare #Medicaid #Medicare i mean it.

health care is a human right, not an eugenics strategy.

Nursing home owners across the United States have been siphoning millions of Medicaid dollars intended for residents into related side businesses, inflating the cost of care at the expense of vulnerable elderly residents, a team of local reporters across four states discovered after reviewing federal data. #UnitedStates #news #medicaid #nursinghomes nj.com/news/2025/04/inside-the

In light of the GOP attempting to add #Medicaid work requirements as a means to slash Medicaid spending, two KFF news stories:

● On the effectiveness of such requirements -- kffhealthnews.org/news/article -- Arkansas did not produce meaningful job gains. For individuals it increased debt and costs and delayed medication/treatment.

● On the implementation costs -- kffhealthnews.org/news/article -- Costs states $6M to $270M to set up, not including operating expenses.

KFF Health NewsStates Push Medicaid Work Rules, but Few Programs Help Enrollees Find Jobs - KFF Health NewsRepublicans are pushing to implement requirements that Medicaid recipients work in order to obtain or retain coverage. Some states try to help enrollees find jobs. But states lack the data to show whether they’re effective.

Viewpoint: How SEIU’s #Medicaid Fight Can Shift Gears to Win Big labornotes.org/blogs/2025/04/v #1u

Labor Notes · Viewpoint: How SEIU’s Medicaid Fight Can Shift Gears to Win BigI’m a primary care doctor and Service Employees (SEIU) member in Doctors Council. The Medicaid cuts proposed by Trump and Congressional Republicans will hurt and kill my patients, defund our hospitals, and decimate our unions. SEIU leadership recognizes the threat but their current approach is not enough. SEIU has offered social media toolkits and a call-in tool to pressure House Republicans, but these digital tools rot in members’ inboxes. SEIU organized a DC lobby day, but most members were unaware of it or were not supported to get there.

@TCatInReality @GottaLaff 💯 I just found out that my deadbeat MAGA Rep is canceling and no-showing meetings with really well-connected physicians and our local hospital’s leadership team because they want to talk about the huge impact that #Medicaid cuts will have here. I found out in an executive meeting with all of the physician leaders for every department. We were all encouraged to keep calling and e-mailing him. He has unified a politically divided med staff against him.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) encounters formidable challenges in pushing Donald Trump's budget plan, particularly regarding Medicaid cuts. Moderate Republicans like Reps. Bacon and Valadao oppose significant reductions, countering Majority Leader Scalise's claims of their support. With a narrow GOP majority, moderates' backing is crucial, yet hard-liners demand deeper cuts amid Trump's reluctance to compromise. The internal GOP discord complicates Johnson's agenda.

"Sumana Reddy, a primary care physician, struggles on thin financial margins to run Acacia Family Medical Group, the small independent practice she founded 27 years ago in Salinas, a predominantly Latino city in an agricultural valley often called 'the salad bowl of the world.'

Reddy can’t match the salaries offered by larger health systems — a difficulty compounded by a widespread shortage of primary care doctors."

KFF Health NewsCalifornia’s Primary Care Shortage Persists Despite Ambitious Moves To Close Gap - KFF Health NewsThe state has in recent years embraced several initiatives recommended in an influential health care workforce report, including alternative payment arrangements for primary care doctors to earn more. Despite increasing residency programs, student debt forgiveness, and tuition-free medical school, California is unlikely to meet patient demand, observers say.

The #budget of the Ctr for #Medicare & #Medicaid Services would be slashed by $674M, but the #Trump budget claims the cuts would have *no impact* on providing #benefits to those enrolled in the #HealthInsurance programs.

Rather, it says, the budget “eliminates funding that had been used to carry out non-statutory, wasteful & woke activities,” in the 1st time a presidential budget has used the word “woke” in describing priorities. The budget also “eliminates #HealthEquity - focused activities.”

Using #Michigan as an example: There's ~740,000 Michiganders enrolled in #Medicaid via #ACA expansion who are at risk of losing coverage (~7.3% of the total population). IN ADDITION, there's ALSO another ~530,000 enrolled in ACA exchange plans, nearly all of whom are subsidized (~5.2% of the pop.)

#Trump is set to propose $163 billion in cuts to non-defense #DiscretionarySpending for the 2026 fiscal year in what's known as a "skinny budget" Friday.

The cuts are for spending #Congress authorizes each year—which does not include spending on safety nets like #Medicare, #Medicaid & #SocialSecurity.

The cuts…represent a 22.6% cut in projected #spending for the current fiscal year [as if costs weren’t going up]. They were confirmed by the White House #OMB….

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

Nobody's #healthcare is safe under #Trump. Even if you have great private group health insurance, you won't if the economy gets bad enough; even if your job survives, your local hospitals will not. People don't stop needing care. Hospitals just stop getting paid.

The attacks on #Medicare and #Medicaid, plus many people newly priced out of ACA plans, will mean millions more uninsured and unable to pay the hospital anything when they need emergency care.

Another reason we hit the streets.

I believe that four Republicans in the House, or four Republicans in the Senate, will finally stand up against Trump and his administration when....

EDIT AFTER POLL CLOSED: Thank you all who voted, boosted and replied. I appreciate you. It's sad how we pretty much agree that the GOP has no humanity left.
Thank you again. ✌🏻☮️
