How many MAGAs will lose their Medicaid coverage?

Well these right wingers don't understand there are a lot of people that work two jobs and do not have health insurance that need Medicaid if they get sick or have some other type of medical emergency.
Some of these people working two jobs and are just getting by.
Cutting Medicaid and medicare might save the SS system some money right now for a little time but when Trump puts on his tariffs that is going to drive up inflation so these people will suffer even more and then people on SS will have a COLA increase pulling more money out of SS and causing it to run out of money even faster.
All I can say is they got what they wanted so when it bites them in the ass like it is going to all the rest of us they will Cry like babies.

Yup. I'm ignoring all of the daily theatrics re. trump's cabinet pics, etc.. I know what ultimately happens. We just have to be patient and watch everything crumble.

I think I'm more concerned about trump selling top secret information than I am about him leaving millions without healthcare or a job.

trump is too ignorant to fully understand tariffs. In theory, the billions taken in should fund domestic manufacturing, which would actually achieve the level playing field that tariffs are meant to achieve.

You brought up Trump selling our secrets, I still have not got an answer from ANY MAGA/ Right winger YET , Just How do we know for SURE that Trump didn't already sell / give those 12 Russians he had at the W H , or Putin or the Chinese he had at MAR. any of our secrets.
He didn't want and didn't have any other AMERICAN in those rooms let alone an AMERICAN that spook Russian / Chinese and I wonder WHY.
Was it so he could give / sell them some of our secrets?
Unless one of them comes forward and tells us what went on in those rooms we will NEVER know for SURE.
The CIA / NSA/ FBI have all pointed out that there was an unexplained increase in our deep cover agents being found and some being killed NOT to long after he had these meetings.
Trump COULD be one of the biggest Traitors the USA has ever seen.

More than 3 million adults in nine states — including Montana — would be at immediate risk of losing their health coverage should the GOP reduce the extra federal Medicaid

Only a limited number of dentists do, probably because they don't cover much.

Probably depends on which state is administering Medicaid. My stepson is on Medi-Cal, which is the state administered Medicaid program here, and I think he got some pretty serious dental work done which was covered

Too bad Alaska isn't one of them.
The front desk lady I fired for forging Rx's was a chain smoker who could somehow afford about $900/mo. on cigs and ate greasy burgers for lunch every day became eligible for the expanded Medicaid.

So now I know where my front desk lady I fired went to work.

I accepted medicaid for a couple of years until I realized it wasn't worth it. I know better than most how it works. More correctly, how it doesn't work.
There is a need for it , but only for those that truly can't afford it. I had patients on it that drove up to their appointments in their brand new Cadillac Escalade.

I saw a woman wearing a mink and driving a Caddy debate on whether to use medicaid or a postal worker insurance to pay the bill for her child in an ER.

Yet some who got it can somehow afford a $900/mo. nicotine habit. And that was 14 years ago.
Maybe the ACA should give subsidies for cigarettes for the "poor" too.

I had a woman want me to write a prescription for children's Motrin so medicaid would pay for it. In her purse you could see two packs of smokes. I told her to forgo a pack of cigarettes and buy the Motrin OTC. I don't write prescriptions for OTC meds.

Her salary was low enough for her to qualify for Medicaid. I remember when you took away health insurance from your staff.

I fired her in feb. 2011. (As well as made a police report and report to Diversion Control Division). Not your fault you didn't know that. Now you know.

Medicaid is an insurance program for the working poor and lower income families. How did a dentist like you qualify for Medicaid?

You can't really be that stupid. I ACCEPTED it as imbursement for services rendered. Geez. I was a medicaid PROVIDER FFS..
 
For-profit healthcare results in the execs making incredible salaries and bonuses. They are profit-oriented, not healthcare-determined. They will fight providing the healthcare you paid for to make more profits. They put you through hell hoping you would quit fighting . Healthcare is an adversarial proposition.
Universal healthcare removes so many worries. You can start a business without the cost of providing healthcare. You can change jobs without worrying about gaps in insurance,
The cost of healthcare and managing it is removed from corporations making them more competitive globally.
When Europeans move here, they are appalled by our terrible system. They wonder why we tolerate it.
American are suckers.

There is no question that trump would sell out the nation for monetary gain. He was taught that at the dinner table, and it now governs every aspect of his life.

Nobody can explain why the Saudis gave Kushner $2 billion.

There is network of dentists where you can get your dental work done. Around here, they tend to be butchers. Whereas it does vary from state to state, this year they are simply giving a $1200/year allotment and you can go to whichever dentist you choose.
