I can't imagine someone who voted to piss off liberals also has the media diet to know they're about to lose Medicaid.
I'm interested in a morbidly sad way as to how many people in America will just suddenly be confronted with a new life or death situation they had not seen coming nor could prepare for.
We humans are far too good at fucking our own societies up and I feel like we really are so unfortunate to witness the end stages of a... Several, depending on how we cut the term society in today's interconnected reality
What I expect is that those people will either a) receive a form letter saying that their Medicaid has not been renewed, b) simply not receive new Medicaid card after applying and being silently rejected, or c) have a hospital administrator explain that they owe $10,000 because Medicaid will not cover their charges. Obviously, the hospital is greedy and mean.
Unless those communications include the explicit phrase "because of Donald Trump's Medicaid cuts," few people will draw any connection between the mysterious, bureaucratic determination of Medicaid coverage and their 'tells is like it is' hero, bankrupt casino owner, Donald J Trump.
It’s the sacrifice that a few rich evil bastards are forced to make, in order to maintain their death grip on power, and watch the line go up slightly more quickly.
Some would throw you overboard to save their own lives, while most rich folks would throw you overboard to gain fifty cents. The wealthy MUST ALWAYS have, "a little more".
And every time has to be a little bit more than the last time of a little bit more.
Nobody's ever become a billionaire by believing there's a such thing as having enough.
They think they are a protected class. Just another person dependant on California's excessive taxes
