Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Trump’s bill is a ‘death warrant’ say parents of sick rural kids whose treatment is tied up in Medicaid red tape
(www.independent.co.uk)
Actually the death panel was fired so your application for health care is just sitting on a empty desk somewhere. But we're working hard to implement Trump's idea for a health care plan. Hang tight, bootstraps are the best health care anyways. - love MAGA.
The party of "pro-life"
pro-bodies to exploit
Heh that's the final nail? Wait til rural hospitals and clinics start closing due to lack of funding. No you wont get a MRI for $20, the hospital will just close because its no longer as profitable as it could be.
And then the best part is their idiot brains will react to this by ... !
Becoming more religiously fundamentalist.
Why does Obama keep doing this?
Yep, that's the point.
Kill kill kill kill the poor, etc.
Eugenics is the point.
That's not the White way!
-Republicans
"They're hurting the wrong people!'
- Also Republicans
Gotta wait until they're born to be able to kill them legally.
Trump on murder spree of infants in MAGA states? Hmmph. That’s not what I voted for.
It's not what I voted for, but it's what they voted for whether they knew it or not.
I wonder if it's really hit most poor Republican voters yet why the GOP is just ruling like there is no tomorrow? Why they seem to be on the ultimate corruption bender and living like there's no consequences for their actions.
Like it feels like they're the kid that still holds out some hope even though their parents left to go buy cigarettes almost 9 months ago. I'm sorry, but they're not coming back for you.
If you could ask them why they abandoned you, they would just give you some vague excuse about bootstraps and say they're teaching you to be self reliant.

operating on babies is a crazy thing, to me. I hope it's ok

how come these articles never say who the family voted for? are you hiding something?
“Thanks Obama”
A lot of people are going to die. I hope we put all elected officials on public mob trial for these deaths.
Nah the dead will vote red.
oh you know, I'm sure somebody will donate to them. maybe they should start a TikTok and stop expecting handouts
Why is OP "Banned from community"?
They doxxed someone.
This.
Op linked to her voter registration (republican of course) but that also showed her home address, which is a nono, so they got a temporary ban.
This community gets people riled up and mods will ban you simply cause people got hurt feelings
But that's a build in design ... less kids and other weak folk to give decades long medical coverage to saves a lot on the medical costs the small government has!
On top of that, now with severe restrictions on research and marketing of new vaccines, there will be even less medicines in the system.
What competition there was will be wiped away when there are only a small handful of "competing" drugs left per ailment, priced the same ofcourse but just differ in side-effects.
Winning through reducing costs, losing by healing less people.
And so, 4 years down the line, we hear them boast how much costs they reduced in medicaid and still kept it running.
let me guess, did they vote for Trump?
