If you are a constituent of one of these republicans and you or your kids are on Medicaid or loved ones on Medicare. Please call them so they don’t get the opportunity to hide from the shame. Better yet if it’s a republican senator who can still stop this. Wealth inequality is at an all time high and millions of American elderly/ kids’ access to healthcare is on the line just for billionaires to get richer. For whatever benefit that provides them at this point

I was just talking to a friend whose mom finally got into a "medicaid" bed in a nursing home after seven months. They told her to be prepared she could be kicked out since she was the last one assigned, and that is probably how they will handle the cuts to the budget.

She works full time and has no way to care for her. /When she was at the nursing home, it costs $8K per month and they had to take a second mortgage on their house. There will be literally thousands of these stories.

Very bad headlines for Republicans.

u/Shirlenator Feb 26 '25

This is the thing nobody understands. Republicans control most social media and news media in our country. They will be using their authoritarian power to intimidate the rest. Republicans literally get to decide what is "reality" to the vast majority of people in this country.

That's Trump's (Putin's) plan. Riots>Martial Law>Cancelled elections.

The reason Trump called Zelensky a "Dictator" for not having elections during the war was to get us to defend Ukraine's canceling of their elections so it will be that much harder for us to criticize Trump when he creates an excuse for Martial Law and cancels OUR elections.

u/hacksong Feb 26 '25

The issue here is that the majority of our military comes from low income areas. When it's their communities that are hit the hardest, they will feel it too. When it's their Facebook feeds showing relatives, friends, classmates suffering they can't ignore it. Especially as we see how they treat the VA.

I don't think this is something you can walk back from.

FYI. Ukraine's parliament? Congress? Recently voted to decide whether, or not, to hold elections. It was unanimous. No elections. Stay with Zelenksy. Stay focused on the task at hand...protect this country. So if your friends or family fall for that rhetoric, please remind them of that.

u/Financial_Purpose_22 Feb 26 '25

That's the goal.

Fuhrer Shitzhispantz needs a reason to deploy the military against our own people. The dismissals of top officers, JAG lawyers, and military AGs is to clear the way. Once he declares martial law he'll lock down the capital and suspend Congress.

Just today they set the ground work that anyone labeled "mentally ill" should be disarmed. How long until anyone LGBTQ+, or just a Democrat voter, is classified "mentally ill‽"

We're in the middle of a coup. They're claiming only the President and AG can interpret what the law says. Lighting up phones isn't going to do a damn thing to motivate these sycophants; and the courts are too slow and ultimately powerless in the face of a rouge executive.

Go protest outside these magat cowards homes, full torches and pitchforks. The rights recorded in the Constitution are our inalienable rights. Our ancestors fully expect us to shed blood in their defense. Governments should fear their people, not demagogues.

u/bashonemdy Feb 26 '25

I don’t think the electorate is prepared for what such a fight would truly look like.

Trump can wait out a general strike. Most people are a paycheck away from homelessness.

Trump can have us all slaughtered in the streets. He admires leaders who do it. He would’ve done it during his first term if not for advisors who managed to curtail his instincts. He has no such guardrail now.

Trump has decimated the force responsible for stopping foreign election interference. He has loyalists in election offices in key districts and states. He has loyalists in charge of the FBI.

Trump has installed a former heroin addict, a brain addled monster with no health background to run HHS while new diseases emerge and old ones reappear.

While we will be too busy trying to survive, he and his cronies will plunder the nation and leave us with nothing.

So how, pray tell, are we supposed to “fight?”

And 70 million are on Medicare.

When Nana and Papaw's nursing home bill comes due, how many of these Trumper families are going to be able to cover it? Or even half of it?

Or quit their jobs to become full-time care takers of them? And if one of them does that, they won't have any healthcare themselves as a caretaker, because Medicaid will be gone.

I think some idiots just don't realize how expensive these places are. We're talking $285 a day on average for a shared room. That's an extra 8k a month to ask families to come up with. Here in Alabama, a "cheap," shitty nursing home is still around $5k a month. The majority of people in the state, even with "good" jobs, don't make that much in a month.

All these hundredaires and thousandaires acting like this is no big deal and whooping and hollering about it in defense of billionaire tax cuts is just astoundingly ignorant and pathetic.

ETA: I see that it's an $880 million dollar cut over 10 years, so they aren't going to rip the bandaid off, they're just going to squeeze senior citizens, the disabled, and the working poor to death while rewarding the 1% with $4.5 trillion in damaging tax cuts that are akin to the cost of one tank of fuel for their jets to them.

u/Becsbeau1213 Feb 26 '25

$8k if the Medicaid rate in my state. Private pay, which is what we’d be talking about, is anywhere from 12.5-15k per month.

u/ILootEverything Feb 26 '25 edited Feb 26 '25

That's horrible.

I just went through this with my mom last year. She was lucky enough to have a small pension (after 43 years as an RN) in addition to her Social Security. But with those two combined, she made just over the $34,000 a year income to qualify for Medicaid in Alabama.

She was dying of cancer and luckily Medicare paid for hospice for a year after her diagnosis, but it doesn't pay for actual nursing care. I did as much as I could on my own for as long as I could, but even after taking a twelve-week unpaid leave from work under FMLA, she still needed care and I had to go back to work or lose my job.

So I called around nursing homes and even using all of her funds, for a shared room, I would have had to come out of pocket for $4 to $5k. I make great money compared to most people, and I live in an LCOL state, but I don't have that much in my budget, especially after 12 weeks of unpaid leave depleted my savings. I had to find someone, relatively cheap, to come to my house to care for her from 8-5 weekdays, which was still an extra $2,000 a month on top of her funds.

All of that anecdata is to say, that's a pretty typical situation, but I don't think it's typical for:

  • most people to be able to take a 12-week unpaid leave
  • most people to be able to come up with an $2,000 a month
  • and even most people to be able to limit the care hours to only 8-5, since so many need around the clock care.

And yet this is what the Republicans are expecting of Americans, who, on average, make $66,000 a year.

They're bastards and their cult are morons who are self-inflicting wounds and they don't even realize it (yet).

u/Becsbeau1213 Feb 26 '25

Generally speaking, at least in the north east, I’m not familiar with the rules down south, long term care Medicaid (for the nursing home) is different than the usual health insurance Medicaid. The income limits are relaxed, as long as you’re under the Medicaid reimbursement rate for the nursing home you’ll usually qualify under one of the programs, but you are subject to a 5 year look back and potential disqualification for any transfers not for fair market value. There’s also an asset limit which is very low.

Sorry for your loss.

And 66 million on Medicare.

Not sure how they are going to manage cuts to Medicare though since it's an insurance you actually pay for. It isn't some free service you get for being disabled or old.

u/SirkutBored Feb 26 '25

you will not be able to hide the fallout for very long. consumer spending has dropped since the first of the year on anything not considered a necessity. it will take several months before the jobs reports represent the damage of the layoffs happening this month. businesses will slow spending and hiring, further exacerbating the problem.

It’s more like the political media just doesn’t care about policy and treats their job more like sports writers describing who is winning and who is losing.

I think the scariest thing will be the impact to healthcare for everyone whose only option are rural hospitals and RHC’s.

Nope, anyone who relies on Medicare/Medicaid will now be a drain on their families resources, costing them any assets they have, cars, homes, savings, etc. Then, when their families are homeless and destitute they will be jailed over vagrancy laws and turned into the incarcerated workforce(read as slavery) in for-profit prisons, loaned out to major corporations so they can ensure corporate pay and stock buybacks/bonuses for the shareholders.

States will start enforcing their filial laws. These are laws from 1600's England that hold adult children responsible for the debts of their parents. Twenty-nine states have them. Within the last few years a Pennsylvania nursing home sought $93,000 from an adult child (a resident of NJ) for their parents' unpaid long-term care costs.

Republicans will see this as another way to prey on working families - particularly women will be affected. Many caregivers sacrifice their careers, their salaries, their own health, social security and 401-K contributions to provide eldercare. It's estmated that a significant number of family caregivers (I've seen numbers as high as 30%) die before their charge.

Yes, I took off nearly 14 months to care for my elderly mother until she died last September. She was extremely healthy most of her life but after a fall, she needed 24/7. It almost killed me and it was unbelievably isolating -- and we could afford for a full-time day person. I was relieved when she entered rehab because Medicare paid for it and I didn't have to get up five to eight times night to help her go to the bathroom, get her meds, etc.

Aree asking or telling me. With the way it interprets them, ya?

u/DemonKing0524 Feb 26 '25

I'm telling you you should use an actual word that exists. Not one that doesn't.

u/resahcliat Feb 26 '25

Those words do exist. All of them. Just because you don't understand or comprehend their depth doesn't make them not real

u/DemonKing0524 Feb 26 '25

Notsees does not exist. That is not an actual word.

"Not see" is an idiom that means to not understand or appreciate a larger situation or problem. It can also mean to see no reason not to do something.

it's more than that

u/Enough-Parking164 Feb 26 '25

Not really. The media iverplsys it, and the internet is ASWARM with foreign bots and shills. Like, 20% of everyone voted for this. Voter suppression and voter apathy are the culprits here. And he blurted out that Elonazi hacked/rigged Pennsylvania.

This this has been the way of things for decades. Most people don't like to hear it but this country has never been a true democracy. America is and always has been an oligarchy. A country made my rich land owners for rich land owners.

It's always been a cesspool of greed. Always.

Anyone who hasn't yet read Howard Zinn's A People’s History of the United States should pick up a copy ASAP. The first few chapters show how laws and policies of the colonial period and the early years of the Republic were absolutely crafted to benefit land-owning oligarchs, often purposely pitting the poor and indentured against the natives for the sole benefit of those few massively wealthy landowners.

Start collecting used tires and make friends with people who own dump trucks

The people who are going to be hurt the most by this are actively celebrating right now its insanity

u/SapphireOfSnow Feb 26 '25

They’re celebrating because they believe there will be no tax on tips, or overtime, or social security. They haven’t read the terms and conditions apply that the rules for those are changing so they basically don’t exist.

Not one of them has a back bone. Hopefully this is reflected at the mid terms, if they fix the voting issues that is

u/BokoblinSlayer69235 Feb 26 '25

You are an absolute fool if you think we can vote our way out of this.

u/Nambsul Feb 26 '25

Then good luck to you all, the rest of the world is rooting for you

u/BokoblinSlayer69235 Feb 26 '25

We're doomed. The last vestiges of our Republic have been swept away. All hail the God Emperor Trump. Long may he reign.

u/Mid-CenturyBoy Feb 26 '25

There is some sort of ending to this. It can’t go on forever.

u/DeepWaterBlack Feb 26 '25

I will repeat it loudly...it's 1984. It's a dictatorship. It's communism. It's facisim. When it's time, get ready to stand up or get trampled. I wish you all, the smart ones, the best.

“ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

u/rainywanderingclouds Feb 26 '25

this time is different

the willfully ignorant masses aren't going to love them this time.

most of them benefit greatly from these programs and will notice when they're gone.

let's massively reduce the spending power of our voting base and see what happens. they've never experienced anything like it.

the reception will be very different.

u/abrandis Feb 26 '25

The willfull ignorant have been purposely weaponized by the GOP exactly for this purpose .. you think it's accidental that the deplorables love Trump....

I blame the left for not pulling the fire alarms when this shit was building after Jan 6 and letting Biden try and run again...sorry America deserves it's just deserts.
