And how does that work when both parents need to go to work?
My friend ended up locking her mother in the house and turning off the gas stove because she and her spouse had to work, kids were in daycare, and there were no Medicaid beds.

Exactly. Haven’t seen many even among the homeless.
Are you looking in their tents and sleeping bags?

I think OP is suggesting that there will not be "Medicaid nursing homes," not how will they get admitted.
The hospitals aren’t going to just evict ppl into the street. Certainly not at 70+ and nursing care level
So where will they stay if they no longer need hospital-level care?

Are you aware of how difficult it is to obtain Medicaid? If it is put into a block grant, there is going to be no way that there will be enough money for all those in need.
Dp. Not it’s not. I just got my state’s version of Medicaid for my newly arrived father. It was a 3 month wait but it wasn’t hard.
Varies from state to state. Assuming you are not in a rock rib red one. But I appreciate your anecdata.

They've already been caught doing it. Once they can't bill for the room, medicare is not paying indefinitely, they are going to discharge

They already do, many of them are veterans.
Popularity is no longer an issue. We may have had our last free election, and the lies will be that much worse. Media won’t be allowed to show what’s happening to those people. Again, if your family has anyone relying on federal dollars for anything, you need a plan B immediately
