skinny21 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm having a little trouble believing that there isn't a strong correlation between the election interference, Trump's Russian ties, the dead Russians, the Trump's attacks on the IC and now the Wiki dump.

It's Assange holed up in Edcuador and a loosely connected network of spread out people, I assume. With as many enemies they make amongst the rich and powerful, I would think WikiLeaks conspirators would be magically disappearing. But I watch too many movies too.

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Obamacare is popular in many states, even some controlled by Republicans. It has brought health insurance coverage to about 20 million previously uninsured Americans, although premium increases have angered some. About half those people gained coverage through an expansion of the Medicaid program for the poor. The Republican proposal would end the Medicaid expansion on Jan. 1, 2020, and cap Medicaid funding after that date. http://www.amny.com/news/politics/obamacare-repeal-bill-includes-medicaid-expansion-rollback-1.13217996 Im confused on what a "medicaid freeze" means. Does it mean that States will receive the same amount of Fed funds per year regardless of how many ppl in that are enrolled in Medicaid (i.e. Kentucky gets 400 mil for medicaid regardless of whether it has 100 or 1,000,000 enrolees?) I assume it does not mean that eligible ppl will not be allowed in enroll in Medicaid. How does a State go about deciding what to cut and not cut. Do you cut pap smears? But then that would disproportionately effect women and not men and can you even do something that has clear gender divisions? Do we cut dental for kids?

Hersh Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 So increased military spending, after health care "reform" a massive tax cut. Nah, those things won't explode the debt.

Shadowy government agency sends a hit squad after individuals in a cyber hacking group, taking them out one by one. One hacker must uncover the truth before he/she is next.

I assume it does not mean that eligible ppl will not be allowed in enroll in Medicaid. I suspect that what it mostly means is "The CBO, when they're preparing their report on how much this bill will cost, is required to pretend that Medicare spending will magically freeze in 2020, even though the Republicans have not provided any explanation for how they intend for this to happen." In short, it's a "cut" to Medicaid, without any explanation of what they intend to cut. Although I also assume that this is only part of the explanation. I would not be at all surprised if a great many Republicans actually do intend to "cut" (in the sense of "increase funding, but not by enough to actually maintain present level of care") down the road, and let the states figure out who to take the money from. It's a way of handing out cuts, while giving people lots of other people to point fingers at. 52 minutes ago, Hersh said: So increased military spending, after health care "reform" a massive tax cut. Nah, those things won't explode the debt. GOP being fiscally responsible has been the biggest political myth of my life. I've mentioned this a couple of times: The last time a Republican President left office with a smaller deficit than when he took office, the President was Eisenhower. The last time a Democrat President left office with a bigger deficit than when he took office, the President was FDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'd assume the freeze is simply block grants, which can be factored many ways(set amount per # enrolled based on federal criteria) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sean Spicer's verbal/mental gymnastics are simply mind numbing. Instead of asking for evidence about the wiretaps, why doesn't the media call it out for what it is...a massive dump of lies. I'm tired of the semantics and word dancing. We're getting ready to spend tax payer money on something that every single person in the government knows is a lie from our bloated leader.
