House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans—including children and people with disabilities—to help fund tax breaks that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
The bill text released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee is a section of the sprawling budget reconciliation package that Republicans are hoping to complete as soon as Memorial Day.
The legislation includes major changes to Medicaid that, if enacted, would kick millions from the program, including work requirements for some enrollees and new payment mandates for adults living above 100% of the federal poverty level—which, for a single individual, is $15,650 in annual income for 2025.
Editor’s Note: This is a plan, but they’re trying to hide it. If it was a normal bill release, I wouldn’t post this.
Does anyone else remember when Biden gave his State of the Union speech, and directly accused Republicans of “coming after Medicaid”…and they all lost their shit, clutching their pearls…every single one of them outraged that he would dare say such a terrible thing about them?
Yeah…good times, man. Good fucking times.
Yup, this was the one with MTG yelling “Liar!” at Biden.
They’re trying to kill off millions of people, probably including several of your family members. They don’t like poor and disabled people, and want the money that taking care of them costs. It’s that simple. This will affect you eventually for the worse. This will not save you any money at all, and it took decades to get things like this passed in the first place.
Anyone can become disabled tomorrow, even you.
It will let them buy up tons of homes with private equity companies, and I guarantee within 5 years they’ll be gifting those homes to shitbag Russian and afrikanas
Guess I’ll die.
This is a bill at this stage. We have to shout loud enough for everyone to hear that this is happening to stop it. That’s why they tried to hide it.

Good, do it. Then when Nana dies, ma can’t pay for her cancer treatment and they can’t afford insulin anymore they might start to turn on Rs. If they don’t, they’ll be dead and not fucking shit up for the rest if us.
