I'm afraid that Trump/Miller are filling private prisons with a future forced labor(unpaid slave) work force. Gramps and Grandma will simply be forced out by paperwork to die. (I am a grandma BTW)
The Trump administration thinks we should pull grandma out of the nursing home to have her work on a farm.
THAT'S who's losing Medicaid.
And I promise you, they will not fill the jobs left by immigrant farmworkers who this administration is deporting.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

This take "we won't support young men pretending rather than working" is the Republican 2025 repeat narrative myth of the old "Welfare moms" from Reagan days. It was BS then and dumber still now.
Mike Johnson on Medicaid: "What we've talked about is returning work requirements ... you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day. We have a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid."

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
