Do none of you read their plans they write it down

She's talking about long term care medicaid, which is a different program and run by each state.

Medicaid is a joint federal-state program. At least 50% of Medicaid funding in each state is federal dollars. Poorer states get higher matches. The federal government absolutely could gut Medicaid if it wanted to.

They could, but more than likely it will focus on medicaid and not nursing home medicaid. It's not 50-50.

I don't know why you think "nursing home Medicaid" is separate from "Medicaid." It has separate eligibility criteria but the program is all Medicaid, its all in the same part of the Social Security Act (Title 19), its all run by the same state agencies, and the financing split (state/fed) is the same in each state whether you are talking about non-LTC or LTC. Also, the Republicans are screwing everyone over, including the elderly.

How are republicans planning on evicting hundreds of thousands of the elderly and disabled who have been determined not to be able to care for themselves

People in facilities now will die and as they do the facilities will consolidate and remaining residents will have to move, sometimes far from their communities. Within a few years there will not be as many nursing homes for people to be discharged to from the hospital do they will either have to go home, be taken care of by family, or go to a low quality or far-away facility if that’s the only remaining choice. At any rate, they will likely die faster, which is the real object—for non-productive people to be less of a cost to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. That’s why Republicans are often equated now to Nazis. It’s all part of a larger plan.

This is the only place to get the correct answers. Medicaid for long-term care is constantly changing the regulations. Every state has different rules and guidelines with red states being the least generous to the elderly.

Yes, long term care Medicaid is part of Medicaid, which is run by each state. Also, Republicans are gutting Medicaid, including long term care by getting rid of provider taxes, and in the next two months there won’t be Medicaid.
