Teeth, eyes, ears and the brain are part of the body and they should be considered as part of essential health benefits in a universal health care system.
We need a universal health care system, not a greedy for-profit corporation health care denial non-system.
Every other modern country has one.

If you put Elon Musk in charge of something, it breaks. Plain and simple.

Can confirm.
One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen.
*The working conditions are chaotic.
*No clear sense of who works there.
*Routine processes have been stopped.
*No planning can take place.
*People are incredibly demoralized.

“Nobody feels like their job is safe. Everyone is on edge,” said Kim Hasenkrug, an NIH scientist emeritus… “Even the top people can’t keep track because they’re hiring and firing so much. Direct supervisors of those who were terminated didn’t even know that it was happening.”

100% correct. I’m old enough to have seen this cycle before.
I’ve said this before (from experience). When you cut federal workers you don’t save money, you instead spend more on contractors.

Trump and DOGE Create Anxiety but Opportunity for Federal Contractors
By cutting federal employees, the Trump administration may increase its reliance on firms that take in billions through government contracts.

In case you haven’t noticed, Senator, they are already shutting down the government. And you might want to check that ratio.
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

This is unreal.
Several others have aptly summarized this. Republicans now get a number where they can call Elon and ask for the law to be followed for things that were cut but which they want back. So Elon is in charge of federal spending. And you can go to him hat in hand.
Like huh it’s almost as if this information is inconsistent with the government’s representations in court that Amy Gleason, not Musk, is in charge of DOGE, and that agency heads, not DOGE, are responsible for the cuts

My son is past this stage for services, but this just SO WRONG to leave young adults and parents high and dry at such a critical point. Adult services for people with disabilities is bleak enough without taking these programs away too. Incandescently angry.

I once got into an argument on Twitter with a guy I was agreeing with, and that pretty much explains the entire experience.
