THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

Josh Hawley understands that the people who voted him into office are reliant on Medicaid.

Hawley will win reelection in his state by a wide margin regardless.

• Medicaid: $700–$880B cut via work requirements, eligibility checks, and ending benefits for undocumented immigrants (7.6–10M lose coverage).
• SNAP: $300B cut with work requirements (~11M lose benefits).

work requirements for those who are able bodied and able to work. thats not a cut to healthcare thats getting those who can work and illegals off the gravy train.

again despite your best efforts to misrepresent this as cuts to healthcare there are no such cuts.

We do need more able people working. Not sure if childcare is addressed

It’s not our responsibility to take care of other kids they can get a babysitter just like everyone else has to.

Josh Hawley called the medicaid cuts political suicide.

we have 36 trillion in debt because politicians were more concerned about getting reelected then about fixing problems.

i think you'll find Hawley is not against putting able bodied to work and removing illegals from the rolls.

All of them. People having healthcare is a good thing.

Josh Hawley On illegal immigrants taking healthcare benefits (Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, December 10, 2024):

• “Why would you want American citizens and those who are here lawfully to have to compete against illegal immigrants who, by the way, are not always paid minimum wage, who are not given the federally mandated benefits precisely because they are here illegally.”
  
• “So just if you’re wondering America, here’s the Democrats’ plan. Take the 13 million-plus illegals who are here taking jobs from Americans, taking wages down, taking healthcare benefits, and bring them here legally so they can continue to drive down wages, flood the labor force, and suppress all of the above.”

 

[newfie]

Sure, but the Medicaid cuts Republicans were talking about when he said that nearly 2 weeks ago probably aren't the same as what was actually passed.

We will get a better idea on where they stand on these issues the next month. I don't think Hawley is the guy dems want to use to support their cause. I could be wrong.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Yep, a lot of women are making that choice. It is not my responsibility too subsidize their bad choices.

 

[newfie]

How do you guys think medical facilities are going to make up for lost revenue from Medicaid cuts?

thats why we dont have a cure for cancer, we're keeping the cancer treatment industry in business.

it is

• Child Tax Credit: Permanent at $2,000, $2,500 for 2025–2028.
• Trump Accounts: $1,000 savings accounts for newborns (2025–2028).
• Other: Enhanced childcare credits, family leave credits, 23% Section 199A deduction (permanent), restored itemized deductions.

Once again. This bill skyrockets the national debt.

They can get emergency medicaid if they meet that requirement. Also get free treatment if they show up at the emergency room (at least in this state)

time will tell , CBP has been horrible at accurately forecasting the effects of spending bills which is partially why we have a large deficit.
