Coreece 190 #204 September 11, 2019 Five additional states are in the process of implementing medicaid expansion, so while that should help lower the number of those without insurance, it could very well be offset by new restrictions and work requirements set to take effect in 2020. In Michigan for example, there are about 605,000 people that are at risk of losing their health coverage from the medicaid expansion. 242,000 of those people either have a physical or mental disability that limits their ability to either work or find work and could lose their insurance because of it. Those on SSI with straight medicaid will not be affected, but it's still pretty fucked up tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the power afforded to the office this is potentially a disastrous weakness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The campaign has yet to reimburse the city of El Paso, Texas, roughly a half-million dollars for the cost of a rally in February.'

billvon 2,991 #225 October 13, 2019 Recently heard at a Trump rally: "We're going to defeat socialism and put a man on the face of the moon." I wonder if anyone is going to tell him that we already put a man on the moon? Probably not - he'd be fired instantly. As for the socialism thing - perhaps that's encouragement to Elizabeth Warren to get elected and cancel his massive socialist farm subsidies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
