@Reason10 Rural hospitals are very dependent on medicaid payments; much more than urban hospitals. As Lisa Murkowski!! Or did you think rural Alaska was full of Mexicans??
Murkowski knows that the medicaid cuts will CLOSE hospitals in her state, KILLING Alaskans; that's why she opposes those cuts.
@ElwoodBluesRural hospitals are very dependent on medicaid payments; much more than urban hospitals. As Lisa Murkowski!! Or did you think rural Alaska was full of Mexicans??
Uh no. The Big Beautiful bill does NOT cut one single penny of Medicaid from those who are receiving it legitimately. Lisa Murkowski is a far left LIAR.
Whenever the far left wants to try to demonize most of America, they always LIE about Republicans cutting Social Security, cutting Medicare.
And over the years, people have realized these are LIES.
Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security THESE ARE ENTITLEMENTS. They are the LARGEST items on the federal budget.
Both DOGE and this bill are cutting FRAUD from those budgets. (In other words, people who are NOT supposed to get that money.)
We've already seen how USAID was used to pay for Chelsea KKKlinton's wedding by taking rescue funds from Haitian relief.
Most of America understands this. And the IDIOTS on the left are unable to argue this honestly. They are a bunch of LIARS.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/national-health-care-fraud-takedown-results-324-defendants-charged-connection-over-146 THIS $14.6 BILLION DOLLARS was taken from rural hospitals. DOGE had nothing to do with it.
The Justice Department today announced the results of its 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which resulted in criminal charges against 324 defendants, including 96 doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other licensed medical professionals, in 50 federal districts and 12 State Attorneys General’s Offices across the United States, for their alleged participation in various health care fraud schemes involving over $14.6 billion in intended loss. The Takedown involved federal and state law enforcement agencies across the country and represents an unprecedented effort to combat health care fraud schemes that exploit patients and taxpayers. Demonstrating the significant return on investment that results from health care fraud enforcement efforts, the government seized over $245 million in cash, luxury vehicles, cryptocurrency, and other assets as part of the coordinated enforcement efforts.
(Again, mods. I have directed ZERO negative phrases to ANY actual poster here.)
Alaska becomes a focus of last-minute changes to big federal bill, as U.S. Senate starts debate - June 28, 2025 In the runup to the Senate floor session, Alaska health care experts said proposed cuts to Medicaid and food aid would will devastate Alaska by ending access to care for thousands of Alaskans and cutting $300 million from the economy.
In the days leading up to any floor votes, Alaska health experts said cuts to Medicaid and food stamps in the bill would devastate Alaska health care providers, patients and the broader state economy connected to health spending. Medicaid is the primary health program for lower-income Americans, and pays for long-term care for a broad swathe of families. More than 231,000 Alaskans were enrolled in May.
But it sounds like YOU are the spreader of falsehoods here!!
Population of Alaska: 740,133. Of those people, 231,000, over 31%, are on Medicaid. So tell us, @Reason10, what percent of those 231,000 medicaid Alaskans are "illegal aliens" or otherwise fraudulent, and how do you know??
That is a LIE. The big beautiful bill cuts ZERO medicaid for people LEGALLY using it and are LEGALLY entitled to it. This bill takes ILLEGAL ALIENS off Medicaid.
The tax break for corporations AS WELL AS FOR EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR A LIVING AND PAYS TAXES occurred in PRESIDENT TRUMP's first term. The big beautiful bill just keeps that tax cut from being rescinded. THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL AVOIDS A TAX INCREASE ON EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR A LIVING.
This bill also ends taxing Social Security recipients. I guess you don't want to give the elderly a break, huh? You'd rather give their tax dollars to moochers who won't work for a living.
This bill ends taxation of TIPS. (Uh, tipped employees AREN'T major corporations and they AREN'T rich people.) Ending the tax on tips makes life a lot easier for those at the lower end of the income spectrum.
But you're okay with BORROWING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to allow DemoKKKrats to buy votes from ILLEGAL ALIENS?
@Kypro Do your homework. (Probably for the first time in your life.)
I posted the Big Beautiful Bill. READ IT and show us where this lie
is anywhere near factual.
I've already proven everything you've said is a lie. If you are too lazy and uneducated to read that bill, you've just proven a lot of other things as well.
