Didn't We the People elect Donald Trump to the Presidency on his platform, or was I mistaken? Are you seriously claiming that the results of the 2024 Presidential election are still somehow a secret? Let me know how that works out for you.

Medicaid is the largest federal government program providing medical and health-related services to low-income people across the country and currently serves some 72 million Americans.

Lawmakers in some states have looked at reducing the eligibility for Medicaid, either by letting existing legislation expire or by actively repealing the expansion brought about by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which could impact the healthcare of millions.

But according to KFF Health News, nine states—Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia—have trigger laws that require termination of the expansion if the share of federal funding drops.

While individual states pay for Medicaid, the federal government provides states with an enhanced federal matching rate, known as FMAP, of up to 90 percent for their expansion populations. If federal funding falls below a certain rate in these states with trigger laws, it means the expansion of Medicaid could end, cutting health coverage for potentially millions of Americans.

"While laws in the so-called 'trigger' states require action, the substantial loss of federal funding would likely force all states to reassess whether to continue the expansion coverage," KFF Health News reported in November 2024.

Why do MAGA's keep repeating that condoms thing? It has been widely debunked, and even Musk backed off of it.

Oh, I'm sorry, did the facts get in the way of your narrative? MAGA folks keep repeating the 'condoms thing' because we love a good conspiracy, especially when fact-checkers, in their infinite wisdom, 'widely debunked' it by conveniently forgetting to mention it was for Gaza Province in Mozambique, not the Gaza Strip. How thoughtful of them to leave out such a minor detail, right? And Elon Musk 'backed off'? Oh no, he just clarified, something your beloved fact-checkers are allergic to. But sure, let's all trust the 'unbiased' fact-checkers who are clearly on a mission to protect their political darlings from any inconvenient truths. Keep believing your debunked fairy tales, it's adorable.
 

House GOP Reveals Plan to Devastate Medicaid and Food Stamp Programs​

House Republicans have released their budget plan, and in order to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy, they are planning to slash funding for Medicaid and food stamps.

The early budget includes a statement where representatives on the House Budget Committee pledge to cut a whopping $2 trillion in mandatory spending. While the text doesn’t mention Medicaid by name, it directs the Energy and Commerce Committee to cut $880 billion in its budget, which is near impossible to do without touching the health care program.

The budget plan also directs the Agriculture Committee to find $230 billion in cuts, which seems to indicate that SNAP (the food stamp program) will be cut by at least 20 percent. This would devastate the lives of millions of Americans who depend on the welfare programs. Other committees have also been given cuts that will hurt less wealthy Americans: The Education and Workforce Committee has been allocated $330 billion in cuts, which is expected to come from student loan programs.
