Big Beautiful Bill: Implications for Pain...

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
i guess left leaning means empathy and kindness, and right leaning means, racist
ironically im right leaning and conservative (despite overt racism due to my skin color towards me), but believe that values like empathy and kindness transcend any political spectrum, however as recent policies have shown, our country is losing its way and treating humans like animals and the world as a whole is returning to caging people just like the good 'ol days
If you stop consuming MSM and instead go to church, the belly of the beast of conservative racists, you might be pleasantly surprised.
 
Again I’m not sure how enforcing work requirements for able bodied individuals is a bad thing. It’s astonishing that Medicaid pays for 40% of all births. Again the inclusion criteria are far too broad. That’s an excellent way to bankrupt a country and it seems to be working. I believe in giving a hand up, not a hand out.

Plus work is actually beneficial for those that are not truly disabled. Work provides numerous benefits, including financial stability, improved mental and physical health, a sense of purpose, and opportunities for social interaction. It also contributes to personal growth, skill development, and a stronger sense of community.




The stated purpose of the big ugly bill is to get near 1 trillion out of Medicaid.

I think you know that this requires more than just work requirement. The vast majority are already working.

your statement doesn't make sense. On one hand you admit that they are racist, whilst trying to imply they aren't. Also, i dont consume MSM, ever since they all perpetrated the lie of WMD in iraq

You cant say that you are Christian and cut 1 trillion off of Medicaid just to raise the debt ceiling 5 trillion to process a tax refund.

One of the most egregious examples of reverse Robin Hood that I have seen. They all know its wrong too...

Well I'm not Christian or Republican but trust Christianity to do good 100x more than Democrat politicians, or Republican politicians for that matter. You're free to disagree and put your faith in politicians but that's not the traditional spirit of America by any stretch.

I only brought in religion in response to below.

I really do think that faith and politics should be separate but as Christians we are only asked to love Jesus with all our heart and sole and to love our neighbor. Not to judge but cutting the poor including things like SNAP and global US AID just to raise the debt ceiling is not loving our neighbors.

We are asked to help all of those in need, not just Americans.

I had asked you in a prior post what specifically was in the bill that was negative for Medicaid patients other than the work requirements. Instead of answering the question you attached some article describing all the presumably negative effects of the coming “Medicaid cuts”

Nowhere in your response did you answer the question. From my own research I determined that there will also be more frequent eligibility checks which again shouldn’t be a problem for people that are truly eligible. But other than that, what else do you not like about the Medicaid portion of the bill? I’m honestly trying to understand your concern

Another nonsense straw man argument. It is a lazy tactic
You saying this is comical. He’s talking about you. Weren’t you the one screaming the sky is falling back in April when Trump started talking tariffs?

Whether frequent eligibility checks cause people to lose coverage depends on how those occur. Understaffed or unstaffed phone support, long lines at in-person centers, and long cumbersome forms built like insurance prior auth rules to trip you up absolutely will cause problems. If it’s a simple process where you can snap a picture of your paystub or something and upload it that should be fine.
