Don’t forget about defunding rural hospitals.
Hospital income is 30-60% Medicare & Medicaid. Urban leans towards 30%. Rural and critical access lean heavily to the 60% side of things.
As such, the expectation should be cuts in medical service availability.
The biggest loss leader in the medical hospital line up is mother/baby & NICU. This is why not every hospital has these services. Or why a corporate chain in an area has 1 between their hospitals. The expectation here needs to be that less mother/baby services will be available going forward.
Don’t think for one second that hospitals cannot shut down.
I hope rural people like home births. That's how my mom's great aunt died: in the farm house living room with a stalled labor in the dead of winter. Her oldest son had to drop out of middle school to help raise his 10 siblings until he got drafted into WW2. My mom was only born in a hospital because her mom was going into kidney failure before her due date. Her next child was deprived of oxygen at birth, and since the nearest NICU was hours away he has severe intellectual disabilities and has been a ward of the state for decades. He was physically abused by paid family caretakers while waiting for a facility with an opening to accept him.
This times a million. Nazis say some bullshit while trying to kill your grandma.
Underscores the fact that "deportation" is just a political tool to punish the people that Trump doesn't like.
He’s not even subtle about his weaponization of ICE for his whims.
You can't punish a billionaire by deportation. Like you can't fine a bear for a broken fence.
This should illustrated to every single military and law enforcement person that trump does not care about you. Even his most trusted allies are fodder for him
You law enforcement guys are the same as the rest of those he oppresses. Remember you oath and remember trump will hurt anyone he wants with no thought
He went from schilling for Musk's company on the White House lawn, to threatening to kill Musk's subsidies in about 3 months
It also illustrates his hypocrisy pretty well. You won't get deported as long as you're useful to me.
No, I'm one of the special ones he won't turn on! The leopard won't eat my face!
Do they all have main character syndrome and think plot armor will save them?
IMO the orange fart ain't got allies. Having allies requires empathy. He has people he can use, people he used and people he will attempt in using given a chance. It's not alliance but utilization.
Won't get an argument from me on that
LOL
No, when he’s threatened by the fascists, we have to protect this asshole, too.
What. He is a fascist.
If a fascist threatens a fascist, let them fight.
Yes, but you know how consolidating power works. When Trump starts deporting his own enablers it’s the next level in the playbook.
