Is this true? Thank goodness.

Another wonky one, but important: these rules remove red tape for families, people with disabilities, and seniors trying to get Medicaid coverage. Repealing it adds all that red tape back into the program, making it harder to enroll and increasing premiums for nearly 1 million seniors in Medicare.

It’s no secret Republicans hate Democrats’ policies in the IRA that lower drug prices. It’s light on details but this will be a handout to Big Pharma that undermines Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower drug prices with pharma companies.

In addition to taking away health insurance from tens of millions, Republicans also want to cut payments to hospitals who treat people without insurance. Translation: hospitals in rural and high-need urban communities will be at risk of closure and ER wait times will skyrocket.

Work reporting is just a roundabout way for Republicans to kick people off their health insurance. Nearly all adults with Medicaid are already working, in school, sick, disabled, or taking care of a loved one. Work reporting sets up a bureaucratic mouse trap designed to stop them from enrolling.

Republicans want to end requirements that make sure there’s always a nurse in a nursing home, making your aging grandparents and parents less safe, all so they can pay for their corporate tax handout.

This is their plan to starve Medicaid. Gutting Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars will rip health care away from kids, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, and working families. You don’t cut a TRILLION dollars from Medicaid without hurting millions of people.
