There are more important parts of the disastrous bill to focus on other than something that won't go into play until Trump is gone and the next Admin is in office.

House freedoms caucus insist on the requirements going into effect sooner. That’s what house Rs will be debating starting at 1 am tonight.

Medicaid pays for 40% of the births in this country, much higher percentages in red states, those poor people
shouldn’t be reproducing, but that’s what happens when you make it hard to get reproductive care and make it too easy to get viagra.

And before anyone says it isn’t true, in Virginia at least it definitely true.

Yep adopted a kid with special needs the government gives you money for that too.

How can you be too disabled to work but are fully capable of hiking a few miles to sit in your tree stand for hours hunting deer? How are you too disabled to work due to anxiety but had zero issues attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour 3 times? Too disabled to work, but can post gym bro content for their 11 followers.

Those are all the people who should be kicked off. Not elderly granny and grandpa. Not the kids with medical issues.

are you sure they are on Medicaid? Or SSDI? (or it SSI?)

I don't have any problem with that! In fact, I hope the federal government provides more incentives for families - even rich families - to adopt special needs kids. This is actually great!

How about stop giving invaders benefits you thought you could afford?

Can you link to a source that says undocumented immigrants are getting these benefits?

Don't hold your breath as they never send a link.

Oh yeah, this is totally real and we should take you seriously.

Have you no sense of shame for vomiting this bull? I’m embarrassed for your family.

How much debt do you want?

You do realize nearly all the debt has happened under the GOP since Clinton, right? No one is forcing Trump to extend these tax cuts.

And not disabled folks? Or seniors in nursing homes? The raising numbers of seniors plus cutting Medicaid sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Most people cannot afford nursing home care. What’s going to happen to them? My guess is many will be dumped at hospitals (already happens) bc their kids can’t or won’t care for them.

Their kids or other family will be required to pay their care. A rarely enforced Medicaid rule.

It's not a Medicaid rule. Certain states have filial laws, rarely enforced, though that might now increase.

Being a mom does not exempt you from working.

But wait, I thought MAGA want women to stay home and have a single income household like the good old days

I am a Democrat. Do you honestly think all women should be allowed to stay at home, even if they cannot afford to do so? I don’t. Most mothers work.

It’s good for mothers to model a good work ethic. I went back to work when my youngest started Kindergarten. Best decision of my life.

But for those five years....?

This. My state, for example, has proven itself completely unable to effectively manage the administrative tasks on its end; and many elderly and disabled will struggle to comply and will find their benefits terminated. The other population is adults served through Medicaid expansion. I work in the substance use treatment field with very clinically unstable low income folks who have little to no family supports - they all want to work and work makes them overincome quickly.

Right??

What is going to happen when chronically mentally ill people who are not able to hold jobs, even when on their medications, are no longer able to receive their medications? What is going to happen???

Are you kidding me? These children are nearly all with profound disabilities, so profound that these families need many supports to simply move the kid. Who are you people?
