American taxpayers footed the bill for at least $1.8 trillion in federal and state health care expenditures in 2022 — about 41% of the nearly $4.5 trillion in both public and private health care spending the U.S. recorded last year, according to the annual report released last week by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

I guess the red states better prepare to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

California gets more Medicaid funding than the entire state budget of Florida.

Bootstrap that. Zero federal funding to illegal aliens and able bodied people.

What about old people? Make them beg at intersections to cover their doctors' bills?

Old people get Medicare. I said Medicaid.

hahahahaha

13 million old people are on Medicaid because they don't have enough money to pay Medicare premiums or cost-sharing

people over 65 also account for one-third of Medicaid spending

Bingo. They only want to track down fraud when they're not actively doing the fraud

California has a significantly larger population than Florida. It's also a significant part of the country's economy.

I guess you are not familiar with the welfare reforms under Bill Clinton, but able bodied people haven't gotten welfare in decades. Do you know who gets most of it? Whote folks in suburbia and rural areas, mostly red states, on "disability"

Maybe they should first ask some of the GOPs biggest donors and Senator Scott. They know a lot about defrauding Medicare

Shutting it down is different than seeking out and ending waste fraud and abuse. If you believe that is all elon is doing, I don't know what to tell you.

17% of GDP is not sustainable.

So how about we look at tax loopholes for the rich? Because the US wastes about 1.8 trillion on those every year. Or what about Elon's own contracts with the US that's worth billions? You don't think there might be any bloating there?

Good idea.

I posted above about my mom who is on Medicaid for her nursing home and hospice. She has been slowly deteriorating with MS for about 10 years with dementia caused by the MS. She stopped being able to feed herself about 4 years ago. Now she barely eats and has severe seizures. Why am I telling you this? Well despite her condition I must recertify her every year that she cannot get a job. Medicaid also goes out to inspect her situation to make sure she isn’t lying about not being able to work. Do you think someone who is here illegally would invite that level of scrutiny? Could they appropriately complete the almost 30 pages of paperwork that isn’t available in Spanish? I think there are a lot myths built up around freeloading illegal aliens on Medicaid because most people do not know what Medicaid involves. Medicaid is a f**king ridiculous burden to get. No way would someone here illegally, who isn’t fluent in English, be able or willing to navigate that system! I am a U.S. born woman with a graduate degree and a bureaucratic savant, I struggle to jump through their hoops and complete the paperwork because it isn’t created for my mom’s chronic and debilitating illness!

Great. Where's the replacement plan? Oh right - "concept".
