1. Magnitud y Propósito de los Recortes.
La principal fuente de controversia es la magnitud de los recortes propuestos a Medicaid (a menudo cifrados en cientos de miles de millones o un billón de dólares) y la justificación de que estos fondos se utilizarán para financiar recortes de impuestos para los más ricos.
- He said your medicaid is left alone - hes cutting 793 billion from medicaid.
- He admits that the medicaid cuts are to give tax cuts to the wealthy but hes going to vote for the bill anyway. What a sniveling douchebag.
- This sob is trying to say that it is a good thing to cut 700billion from medicaid and then give 235billion to the top 10 of wealthy people.
- He has made massive cuts to medicaid and other social safety net programs in order to partially fund massive tax breaks for rich people and corporations.
2. Acusaciones de Mentira y Engaño.
El político es acusado de mentir constantemente sobre el contenido del proyecto de ley, negando que incluya recortes a Medicaid, a pesar de haber prometido proteger el programa. Esta negación es vista como un intento de manipular a su base de votantes.
- He bold faced lied on tv, said he wouldnt vote for it if it cut medicaid. How he got elected again is beyond me.
- He is still claiming that he is not cutting medicaid. He knows exactly how stupid and gullible his base is.
- He swore he would never cut medicare or medicaid and then voted for it. Republicans are liars and cant be trusted.
- He keeps saying there are no cuts to medicaid. A 1 trillion dollar decline doesnt seem like no cuts to me.
- He knows it cuts medicaid, but will repeat that he doesnt every single time anyone asks.
3. Consecuencias Humanas y Sociales.
Los recortes se perciben como una amenaza directa a la vida y el bienestar de millones de personas, incluyendo niños, ancianos, veteranos y personas con discapacidades. Se advierte sobre el aumento de la deuda médica, las bancarrotas y el cierre de hospitales rurales.
- He is a murderer. Taking away medicaid will kill people. He knows his premeditated actions will kill people. He does not care.
- Cutting medicaid will defund addiction treatment defund hospitals causing them to close defund assisted living for aging ppl increase medical debt and bankruptcies close hospitals health clinics.
- Children elderly on medicaid are supposed to go get a job. ? this spineless fraud has never cared how anything works meanwhile needs his tax cut.
- He doesnt seem to understand there is no low cost insurance alternative. Cutting medicaid will once again place people with the decision between life with bankruptcy or death.
4. Estrategias Políticas y Retraso de Impacto.
Se critica la hipocresía de votar por el proyecto de ley y luego intentar distanciarse de los recortes, a menudo mediante "acrobacias" políticas o asegurándose de que las consecuencias más graves de la legislación no se sientan hasta después de las próximas elecciones.
- He is banking on his constituents having short memories since i think the medicaid cuts dont roll out until after the midterms .
- Its a fucking stunt to deceive his constituents and others, give them the impression hes fighting for medicaid knowing all along it will go nowhere.
- He did what many do. Came out against the medicaid cuts, then voted for them. He just wanted cover for his vote.
- He knows that the medicaid cuts wont happen under his administration and everyone can blame the next administration because his cultists dont have any reading comprehension, let alone independent reasoning.
- He is trying to tack into the wind. He wants credit for being on both sides of issue of medicaid cuts.
