Republicans will use a lot of words to avoid saying their budget cuts Medicaid.
Rep. AOC calls them out: "Let's just be honest, let's just say it. $880 billion dollars. That math is a cut."
one area where there is Common Ground
here is where there is legitimate waste
where where there is legitimate fraud
there is a willingness to work on this
but there is zero
evidence zero evidence that has been
provided that that adds up to
$880
billion I personally believe that Health
Care should be a right in this country I
believe that we that people should be
able to see a doctor without going
bankrupt but the idea that this is just
some kind of inflationary
indicator the people are getting older
baby boomers are aging and they need
health care and so once again if in
doing the
math the majority and Republicans decide
that there will be service cuts to
long-term care cuts to what is covered
in Medicare cuts to what is covered to
children and to seniors I just want us
to be honest about that let's just be
honest let's just say it $880
billion that math is a cut and I know
folks may want to say the resolution
doesn't say Medicaid the resolution
doesn't say a cut it says a lot of
things that mean that A Rose by Any
Other Name smells just as sweet and this
is a cut this is a cut $880 billion
doing the math is a cut cut
