    Can anyone specifically point out which pieces on the bill will remove healthcare from Medicaid. I was reading through and haven’t found those parts yet. I was focusing on the rescinding for green energy tax credits.

      Work requirements. Other states have done this before. They all canned it because they found out, work requirements don’t increase work. It decrease the use of those that qualify. It increases paperwork which can be rejected by errors.

      You also have the SSDI part. Most people that are disabled don’t qualify for SSDI.

      I personally know someone that had double kidney failure. This is from a direct issue the U.S. government caused acknowledged. However, they don’t what to make it easy and hope the people just die. Which is a very strong possibility. They DO NOT qualify for SSDI.

      Next time they get sick, they will die. Point Blank.

    As an Australian I am constantly amazed that no matter how racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, selfish and blatantly self-serving America’s government representatives are, you continue to vote for them.

    We arent so committed to the red vs blue ideology. If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

    Unfortunately, the way things are going, your vote might make a difference for much longer.

      One of the parties is blatantly racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, and selfish, and they celebrate it, they are proud of it. The other party is not. The other party has issues, but they are worlds apart. There is no excuse not to aggressively vote blue at every opportunity.

          America is like the beta version of liberal democracy that launched far too soon with a constitution full of bugs and the developers decided to make it nearly impossible to patch.

          Yyyyeah. Unfortunately we’re not actually a democratic nation- land and especially money count for more than actual people when it comes to voting. Gerrymandering just reinforces it, and ensures an undemocratic result.

        That’s no excuse… everybody knows the Republicans kept on cheating with gerrymandering and still Americans voted them in over and over.

      Doesn’t the coal industry control your government? And remind me where Rupert Murdoch came from.

      If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

      uh, I’m pretty sure that’s a factor top how America got to the way it is.

        To be clear, Australia is not perfect by a long stretch, but our politicians are much more discrete in their desire for enrichment, we also have a lot more guard rails in place to prevent it, while they are in office.

        While there is obviously big business trying to influence government decisions, that will always happen regardless of who we vote in. My point is, if the person you vote for isn’t clearly concerned with improving the lives of their constituents you should absolutely fuck them off and not continually vote for them for decades.

      Why? Do you think those voters aren’t racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, selfish, and blatantly self-serving?

      We’re flooded with disinformation. Even smart, left leaning people in my circle are spouting crazy lies as if it’s truth. It takes hours to dispell a single lie if they’re patient enough to listen, seconds to form it. It started maybe in 2016. 99% of our news and Internet search results are like Cold War propaganda. Don’t think it won’t happen to you either, I’m very sorry if it does.

    I wonder what the combined financial net worth of this photo is because the calculation for the combined human value shown in this photo is easy

    That is zero

    The woman in the red dress, isn’t she the Alaskan senator that voted yes then told everyone else to vote no?
