shoulda woulda coulda....  but now Trump is in charge. What is he going to do about it? Gut it so that millions lose healthcare coverage? How does that help?  We have a problem here. Instead of focusing on "who's at greater fault", how about we all focus on how to make it better?  That's why McCain voted against the repeal twice, because  he wants to have something that both sides can agree on, that helps those who are struggling.  What Trump and the rest of the Rs have proposed doesn't help these folks, and as he stated, it's a flash in the pan solution, a solution that will sway with the political wind until the power switches to the other side. Then they will want something else. It's untenable.  Fix it once and for all.  Expand medicaid to include even more people. That is the only way it will help the lower/middle class.[/quote]

Medicaid is bankrupting the states in case you had not heard.

1/3 to 1/2 of state budgets are going to keep medicaid going.

Gut it so that millions lose healthcare coverage?  Yes! The middle class is tired of getting screwed over by people who don't pull their own weight.

Instead of focusing on "who's at greater fault", how about we all focus on how to make it better?  Where were you in 2010 when competition across state lines and limits on legal settlements was proposed? Oh yeah, you were telling the Republicans to go pound sand. You had all the answers, like robbing medicare of close to a trillion $$$.

Healthcare.gov was an OBAMAnation from the start and [u]didn't work after three years and 600 MILLION in funding.[/u] That should have been your first clue.

Don't lump the lower and middle class together. The lower class leaches off of the middle (WORKING) class.

You're really, really stupid or a cynical purveyor of alternative facts.  Which is it?  [/quote]

FUN FACT: Under the ACA the vast majority of Medicaid comes from the federal government.  Not the states.  Your 1/3-1/2 of the state budget going to Medicaid. WRONG.  17.5% of VA State Budget (not Medicaid explanation state). Maryland 24.2^ (Medicaid expansion state). Republicans want to block grant MedicId, which will push more of the cost of Medicaid to the states.

Correct. Those are 2015 numbers. The Feds only agreed to pay the cost for three years. NOW what (for the states that agreed to federal subsidies by expanding their medicare rolls)?

Virginia did not buy into expanding the medicaid rolls to begin with. Idiot democrats look at that as leaving federal money on the table.  :roll:

You put someone on sugar to get them hooked. That's exactly why the donkeys were busy loading up the state medicaid rolls in as many states as possible.  [b]But, when the federal sugar runs out, THEN WHAT, IDIOT?[/b]

Hello?

17.5% of VA State Budget (not Medicaid explanation state). Maryland 24.2^ (Medicaid expansion state).

What does that tell you, especially a few years down the road, when state medicaid costs crowd out other state services ?

Do you have any concept of long term viability when it comes to budgets, or do want every state to be another donkey blue Illinois
