The Republican led House has been facing a ton of criticism for cutting Medicaid benefits within their odious budget and they are trying to turn Medicaid recipients into Ronald Reagan’s horrific “Welfare Queen” narrative to do so.
House Republicans are flopping around trying to defend cutting health care to support millionaire tax breaks. It’s unseemly.
Many Americans using Medicaid already work, but don’t make enough money to pay for the bloated costs in the US healthcare system. And as Fran reminded me, no Medicaid money goes to the recipients. All Medicaid funds go to doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies. Also, nursing homes.
MAGA Queen Maria Bartiromo loves to cut healthcare for children because she knows the cost of giving tax cuts to millionaires.
“Are you ripping food out of children’s mouths?” Bartiromo asked.
“So there’s actually a lot we can do without ripping any food from anyone or ripping away people’s Medicaid. It’s they’re just lying,” Crenshaw replied.
The Republican Congressman then said they aren’t going far enough.
CRENSHAW: And in fact, we should we should be criticized for not going far enough, because you’ve got to save these programs for the people that they’re intended for.
You have to and you got to put them on a sustainable glide path. So they just lied.
