The unprecedented healthcare cuts that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party enacted last summer have impacted people in all 50 US states, stripping insurance coverage from around 8 million Americans total and wreaking havoc on hospitals and other providers nationwide.
The advocacy group Protect Our Care on Tuesday released state-by-state fact sheets detailing how many people have lost Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act coverage due to Republican policy decisions, including the party’s roughly $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid and decision to let enhanced ACA subsidies expire, sending premiums skyrocketing.
And still Trump has a 33% approval rate. I mean who tf are those people? Are they all so fckn rich that they don’t care about increased medical costs? Or gas prices? Or inflation? Or stagnating economy? Those aren’t some abstract politics, those are things u feel in ur everyday live…
Some of them are willing to make their own lives worse as long as it hurts the people they hate
Some of them are just that oblivious to how politics affects their lives
They just want to hurt the people they hate
If I can’t afford insurance then the god-damned…(Insert something ignorant hateful and untrue) Motherfuckers better not either.
From what I’ve heard from individuals who believe in Trump is.
Some of these people I consider smart people, others I wouldn’t say that about. These all seem pretty shallow arguments against Medicare for all our even the aca. The other trope is people don’t know that the aca is Obamacare and them buying on the market is the ACA in action. Besides the pharma argument, I haven’t heard a convincing argument against the wealthiest country in the world providing healthcare to it’s citizens, imo.
The thing I find annoying is that none of them are of the opinion that we should outlaw health insurance companies and put price controls on medicine and services which would probably be unironically cheaper for everyone at this point as well.
What bothers me most is those who rely on government help and yet look down on others in the same position and want government help taken away. The hypocrisy is the most infuriating part for me. When people don’t recognize that they’re not special from the perspective of the rest of society and don’t apply the same rules to themselves as everyone else
