I bet you'll wish you had that Medicaid expansion when they have to pump your stomach to remove all the sperm.

9 states poised to end coverage for millions if Trump cuts Medicaid funding
About 3.7 million people are at immediate risk of losing health coverage should the federal government cut funding for Medicaid expansions, as some allies of President-elect Donald Trump have proposed.

Shaken, not stirred!
Hold the phone! Are you saying that one individual incident is indicative of an entire program? Hmm, I would LOVE to see you harp on that premise with regards to the DOD failing years of audits by the GAO, or how Rick Scott is STILL a Florida senator ran a company that was found guilt of the biggest medicare fraud in American history!
So spare us all the MAGA mush, will ya please?

Ahhh, so SOCIALISM FOR THE MILITARY. Got it.
Real Americans love their socialism.
Low income people who need help? The majority of bankruptcies have a health component in them. https://www.abi.org/feed-item/health-care-costs-number-one-cause-of-bankruptcy-for-american-families Only in America do we allow this.

More than 3 million adults in nine states would be at immediate risk of losing their health coverage should the GOP reduce the extra federal Medicaid funding that's enabled states to widen eligibility, according to KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News, and the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families. That's because the states have trigger laws that would swiftly end their Medicaid expansions if federal funding falls.
The states are Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia.

To be clear, MAGA voters are just plain ignorant. They have no idea what Republicans have in store for them. They just love that trump 'owns the libs'. They will soon find out.
MAGA Republicans in Congress, and for that matter all Republicans in Congress want to get rid of the ACA because the pesky 3.8% tax on investment income over $200k/year is evidently a bridge too far. That tax funds the Medicaid expansion, so everyone in the South will now go back to the hospital ED for primary care.
The aforementioned ignorant voters don't even know what ACA means.
Yet.

There are quite a few Red states that refused the Medicaid expansion because...Obama. Those states typically have income requirements that are so low, it is ridiculous.More than 3 million adults in nine states would be at immediate risk of losing their health coverage should the GOP reduce the extra federal Medicaid funding that's enabled states to widen eligibility, according to KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News, and the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families.

Agreed. The "Own the Libs" only goes so far when trying to pay for healthcare.
That's the crazy thing about it. As you note a LOT of poor people use the Emergency Room as their PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. Which, in turn drives up medical costs for EVERYONE.
My favorite poll from back in the Aughts when Obama was trying to push ACA through. They did a poll of primarily Republican voters and when they presented the data to them as "Obamacare" they rejected all the provisions. But if they presented the SAME PROVISIONS as "ACA" they were largely accepted and even WANTED.
They truly and honestly rejected the ACA because it was called Obamacare and the GOP had demonized it to the point that they just knee-jerk rejected it. Meanwhile they all wanted the VERY THINGS THE ACA COVERED!!!!
It's truly bizarre.

No, a benefit of retirement from an employer as contractually arranged. It isn't socialism. Socialism is a something for nothing form of economics. That describes Medicare.

Healthcare paid for by other people. Sounds like Socialism to me.

Healthcare paid by my previous employer.

No. Your previous employer (the military) is funded SOLELY BY OTHER AMERICANS. Sorry you didn't realize where your money was coming from.
WE paid you.
And WE are providing you with healthcare.
That is socialism.
I'm OK with it. And apparently you are too.

You obviously know nothing about Medicare. And most vets find Tricare lacking in a number of ways. So much so that every year that goes by the govt. allows vets to use out of network providers.
