The disaster that has come to be known as Obamacare,
aka the government seizure of our healthcare system that was ‘passed’ in the
dark of night courtesy of every political trick in the book, continues to
spiral out of control. And no matter how
much ‘lipstick’ the Democrats may seek to apply to it, it’s at the end of the
day that it will still be a pig. And the
latest attempt to make it appear as something other than what it is came from
none other than Chuckie Schumer and from right there on the floor of the
Senate. Chuckie said, “Medicaid has
always benefitted the poor. That's a good thing. But I remind my colleagues
that it has increasingly become a middle-class program.” I question his claim that it has benefitted
anyone and as a middle class kinda guy, it’s the very last insurance I would
ever want for myself.
Chuckie was of course doing that which he does best,
that being, of course, to constantly criticize of President Trump. This time the point of his idiotic rant was
the president’s Fiscal 2018 budget blueprint, which was expected to be released
today. And as you can guess, Chuckie is
not much in favor of the president’s budget proposal. Anyway, it was in quoting recent press
reports regarding the plan that Chuckie claimed that the plan will cut more
than $600 Billion from Medicaid. Chuckie
said, “Recent reports say that the president's budget will target Medicaid for significant
cuts.” Chuckie in his attempt to cast the
president as a threat to the poor claimed that Medicaid provides benefits for
60 percent of Americans in nursing homes, and he asked what will happen to
middle class families if Medicaid is cut.
Chuckie said, “What about a 40 or 50-year-old trying
to raise their kids, saving for college and has a parent who needs to be in a
nursing home? Right now, Medicaid pays for it. What are they going to do when
that's cut? They have two choices: shell
a huge amount of money out of their own pocket, which they can't afford, or
maybe bring mom or dad back home, where there may be no room at home for them.
What a horrible choice. What a horrible choice. Well, that's what the President
is proposing to do when he dramatically slashes Medicaid.” If it’s Chuckie’s claim that the middle class
is now on Medicaid, then I would argue that they are not middle class at all. Because they are are part of the dependent
class. That class of people that Chuckie
and the Democrats have not only worked hard to create, but to expand!
Chuckie then proceeded to lay it on pretty thick,
pulling out all the stops as he then went on to describe how Medicaid cuts
would hurt Americans suffering from opioid addiction, disabled people and, of
course, the children. By all means, we mustn’t
forget the children, those whom the Democrats are always so concerned about
unless, of course, they are unfortunate enough to still be in the womb. In that case they aren’t really children at
all they just globs of tissue. Anyway, Chuckie
went on to say, “So if the reporting is accurate, the cuts to Medicaid in the
president's budget carries a staggering human cost.” And that’s a pretty big ‘if’. The fact is that it’s more often than not
that those in the state-controlled media, who Chuckie seems to rely on for his
facts, simply pull numbers out of thin air, it’s all ‘fake news.’
It’s important to keep in mind here that it was
under Obamacare that 31 states chose to expand their Medicaid rolls, allowing
able-bodied, working-age adults to sign up, based on their low incomes
alone. And it’s the recently House-passed
health care bill that would roll back the Obamacare expansion and block grant
Medicaid to the states. That alone would cut more than $800 billion from
Medicaid, according to an estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. Granted, not the most reliable source, but
there is no doubt that there will be substantial cuts made. But then substantial cuts ‘need to be
made. And the press reports on Tuesday, that
Chuckie was basing his claims on, said Trump’s FY2018 budget would cut another
$610 billion from Medicaid. Medicaid
needs to be made to revert back to its intended purpose.
And let’s be real here, the ONLY reason Medicaid has
become a middle class program is because the damn Democrats keep expanding it. It should be eliminated entirely except for
those who are truly disabled. Everybody else should be signed up for Obamacare
since coverage for everybody was what the Democrats’ plan was. Yes Chuckie, your progressive dream of
government control and dependence of the people on the government has been
gaining ground, especially over the course of the last eight years. Increasing Medicare and Medicaid has come at a
staggering human cost, the loss of freedom, liberty, and independence. Americans were once very proudly
self-reliant, self-sufficient, and capable of overcoming adversity. But somewhere along the line things came entirely
off the tracks.
Over the course of time, progressives have been
permitted to advance their agenda of increased government control and more
government power with the idea being that government is better equipped to take
care of us and solve all of our problems.
Now, we see more and more who succumb to dependency and fall behind,
need more ‘help’ and seem incapable of helping themselves or their neighbors. Yes, Chuckie, your dream of all being in
poverty, equally, is coming true. But you
will not sit in the palace as we collapse, you will sink with everyone
else. Liberalism IS Barry getting credit
for the fourth worst economy in US recorded history! Liberalism is saying you care about the poor
and the middle class while at the same time your economic policies favor only
the rich and create more poor and less middle class folks.
Dope addicts? Chuckie wants us to feel sorry for the
people who support the cartels? An addiction is not a disability and should
never have been treated as such, the users are not victims nor are they ‘sick’.
They are people who made a choice, a very bad choice. As for seniors in nursing homes, what makes
this liberal manipulator think they will be the ones cut off? The ones who need to be cut are those able
bodied parasites that support Chuckie and his fellow scumbag Democrats. We all know who they are, the people who can
afford their tattoos, Starbucks, smart phones, cable, smokes and beer but not
their health care, shelter or food for their kids or themselves. The ones who
have more cash in their pockets than most working folks. We need to cut these things now or just wait
for the collapse when everything will simply be gone.
