A group of House dipshit Republicans in swing districts, Brooks reports, are making it clear that they will vote “no” to any bill that includes cuts to the Medicaid spendthrift program.
Federal Medicaid welfare spending is skyrocketing out of control, driven by waste, fraud, and abuse. Between FY 2019 and FY 2022, annual Medicaid welfare spending grew by an astonishing 45%.
Over the fiscal year 2025 – 2034 period, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects $8.2 to 10 trillion in Medicaid spending alone .
Over the last decade, Medicaid made $567 billion in improper payments, “equal $4,300 per U.S. household and are enough to provide private health insurance coverage to more than 2.2 million families.” States even use loopholes and gimmicks to launder federal money through the Medicaid program.
My God the GOP has control of the house , senate and Presidency and once again can NOT get shit done WTF !!!
Healthcare is NOT a human right and taxpayers should not be burdered with paying for someone else’s healthcare bills . Abortion is NOT essential to reproductive healthcare. Medicare spending increased 8.4% to reach $930.8 billion in 2021. Today’s Medicaid cost rose to 8 trillion accounting for about 20% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Medicare-for-all, a recent universal health care proposal championed by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), would cost an estimated $30 to $40 trillion over ten years. The cost would be the largest single increase to the federal budget ever. [192] . The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that by 2030 federal health care subsidies will increase by $1.5 to $3.0 trillion.
Taxpayers will see lengthy wait times associated with universal coverage, in 2017 Canadians were on waiting lists for an estimated 1,040,791 procedures, and the median wait time for arthroplastic surgery was 20–52 weeks.
As a result doctors and hospitals would respond by reducing the supply of care they’re willing to provide. Taxpayers suffer AGAIN !!!
Our government does NOT have unlimited resources. When will these asswpies start to realize we can NOT continue down this path of destruction !!!
