1. La Paradoja del Voto: MAGA y la Dependencia de Medicaid.
Una gran parte de la base de votantes MAGA, especialmente en estados rojos y rurales, depende de Medicaid y otros programas sociales (SNAP, Medicare). A pesar de esto, votaron por líderes que prometieron desmantelar estos sistemas, creyendo que solo afectarían a "otros" (inmigrantes, minorías, "freeloaders").
- Most voters on medicaid voted for trump. Those medicaid cuts are democracy in action.
- Approx 46 of medicaid users are considered republican or maga. They are literally going to enslave their own base to own the libs.
- 40 of medicaid recipients voted for trump. And since he no longer needs these voters anymore he is paying them back by throwing them off medicaid.
- Poor white folks make up 40 of medicaid enrollees.
2. Ignorancia y Negación: No Saben que Usan Medicaid.
Un factor clave en esta paradoja es la desinformación y la negación. Muchos votantes MAGA no se dan cuenta de que su seguro de salud estatal (a menudo con nombres locales como TennCare o Medi-Cal) es, de hecho, Medicaid, y que los recortes federales los impactarán directamente.
- Most magas who do not oppose medicaid cuts also dont understand that states actually run medicaid and tend to name their medicaid programs something other than medicaid.
- I have relatives who are trump supporters and receive both medicaid and ebt. They say the medicaid cuts are lies.
- Maga has no idea whats coming. They post things like i dont use medicaid, i use my states program, not realizing its the same thing.
- The worst of it is a lot of maga uses medicaid and doesnt realize it because each state has its own name for the program.
3. Consecuencias Devastadoras y Falta de Empatía.
Los recortes a Medicaid, a menudo justificados bajo la retórica de eliminar el "fraude y el abuso" (como los "able-bodied people" o "gamers in basements"), tendrán consecuencias catastróficas, incluyendo el cierre de hospitales rurales y la muerte de personas vulnerables. La reacción de muchos críticos es de "FaFO" (Fuck Around and Find Out), reservando la empatía para las víctimas que no votaron por Trump.
- Medicaid cuts will kill people! maga response i dont care! but it will kill red state voters maga response but more democrats right? then i dont care!
- I have no sympathy for someone who voted for donald trump what is happening is the first tranche of medicaid users have been told that they are no longer covered.
- I cant wait for the maga assholes to realize their healthcare is in fact medicaid and that they no longer have it.
- Rural health clinic is being shut down because of medicaid cuts as part of the big ugly bill. The local trump supporters refuse to believe that and are blaming obama.
