Some Republicans claim they didn’t gut Medicaid—just added “accountability.” That’s a LIE. Their plan slashes $1 trillion, imposes harsh red tape, and creates chaos that could push millions off coverage. This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. www.marketwatch.com/story/if-you...
If you thought Medicaid was a mess already, Trump’s cuts only add to the chaos
Public money — tax dollars — is being diverted to corporations from patients.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.
