And higher gas price. And higher inflation.

Sides literally don't matter. A democrat will let you die for a dollar the same way a republican would. All that matters to them is that dollar.

"new report", as if we didn't know the BBB was going to do this already. Nothing pisses me off quite like this feigned surprise.

Exactly what Republicans voted for.

Trump supporters are feeling the pain of their choices. Hope you’re still happy with your candidate.

If they were capable of self-reflection, they wouldn't be Republicans.

They will blame immigrants and woke liberals. Also I’m sure lack of healthcare is worth the price of Making America Great Again.

Fox News really took off as the dominant cable news/right wing propaganda source following 9/11. 25 years ago.

True. And he has antecedents as well. But it really seems like it exploded with cable news and the war on terror, at least in my experience.

I thought only Trump could fix it

Trump supporters in my state think gas prices are rising across the world because of a state-wide gas tax that Democrats implemented years ago. They’re not capable of critical thought.

Is he still making life awful for everyone who isn't a Nat-C white male or multi-billionaire member of the Nerd Reich? Yeah? Then they think he's doing a phenomenal job. It doesn't matter if they lose their jobs, their homes, their healthcare, and can't afford to top off their tanks, they straight up do not give a shit about any of that. As long as women, LGBT people, people of color, and white people who abhor white supremacism wedded to religion are "owned", there is nothing Trump can do to make them shun him. Hell, if he wanted to projectile shit in their mouths, there'd be a fist fight over who got the right to be used as a latrine first for no other reason than to show "I'm the biggest narcissistic, willfully ignorant, xenophobic bag of shit there ever was!"

Nat-Cs aren't quite the same as Nazis. Sure, there is quite a bit of overlap on the venn diagram of "reprehensible pieces of shit" but they diverge just enough not to be the same thing.

This isn’t even new information this is what people were screaming was going to happen when the BBB was pushed.

This might be new to NBC but it was well known before the Trumpers started slashing.

Check in few years if the Democrats will revert it. Let me spoil it for you: they won't.  Nothing about politics, it's the rich vs poor.

I’m sorry, I need to throw this out here. We don’t need a new report to say this. Expects claimed this would happen when the cuts were announced. It’s only going to get worse, folks! Over the next two years funding for small hospitals will go away, pulling healthcare back into urban areas. Hope you like two hour rides for your endocrinology appointments.

>pulling healthcare back into urban areas. Though I am surrounded by hospitals in Philadelphia, there are still some major wait times and delays, I need a sonogram for my thyroid condition, one hospital said they could set up an appointment... in **2027**. I am still waiting on the other hospital's responses.

It's a question of economic pay-off for those who financially rule the nation. Those huge insurers and hospital systems have turned the practice of medicine into the Healthcare Industrial complex and bought those politicans who will support their goals. This industrial complex doesn't benefit much from Medcaid, with its percentage of payment per treatment. So, for common US residents, it's become a lifestyle choice whether a person gets care or has decent housing and food to enable continuing to labor.

Disgusting and just as planned by the Republicans.

Matching right into a third world totalitarian dictatorship?

They only think, "we don't want the poors getting care, they should just die if they're not worthy." They forget that hospitals run like businesses in this country (unfortunately) and need them to be paying customers. Medicaid never covered the whole cost of caring for them, but it was a start. Now they're just freebies and small hospitals can't absorb that cost.
