Honestly anyone who is in a Medicaid nursing home might be better off choosing euthanasia. It’s not great to be there to put it mildly, and if one is there, that means either that they are very difficult and won’t live a normal life or that their relatives don’t care about them.

Not a Trump supporter (actually hate him) but I also know there is significant fraud within Medicaid. I just hope they can discern between a lazy a$$ 40yo vs a “legit” 90yo on Medicaid. No doubt there will be collateral damage I fear.

My late parents voted for Trump and received every benefit from Medicare and Social Security through their mid-90s. Too bad they didn't think he'd screw their children and grandchildren.

Re-read the OP. The sentence preceding the '?' is the question.

Government hasn’t been overspending. It has been under taxing the rich.


Because that's and endless fountain of money for anything and everything - just keep raising taxes, and we can have everything! No need for fiscal discipline, or to make choices, just take it from those who earned it. That'll work out well over the long run.

Do you think we'll have the death panels that Sara Palin talked about?

Funding may be lost. If that happens your relative will be evicted if that is their payor source. And if the home shuts down, there won’t be any chance of them being forced to keep people who don’t/can’t pay. Thing is that this is an evolving situation and no one knows what will be affected. But the places that will be hit the hardest are those with insufficient private pay to cover the losses.


Its a different medicaid, its long term care medicaid, not regular so its funded differently. Its anyones guess what will happen.


It is not funded differently.


The rules for qualifying for long-term nursing homes are different than basic Medicaid.


Qualifing is different and funding is different but its a combination of state and federal funds so if they cut federal funds, are they going to block grant it or are they going to let the states figure it out. They are two different programs, with different qualifications but both care called medicaid.

They don’t have a “plan” because they don’t believe government exists to provide services to people or a social safety net. I swear the fact that you even ask this makes me want to shake you.

So, you think one trillion in Medicaid cuts over the next ten years means no one’s situation is going to change?

Get your head out of the sand.

I guess you haven't heard of Trump's budget bill?

OP, yes.

You should call your congressman and senator and complain.
