Everyone is going to hate how screwed they are if they have a medical emergency.
Two major impacts are going to hit the healthcare system that will affect everyone when they have a life-threatening illness.
First, many hospitals that rely on Medicaid dollars are likely to close.
The second most nursing homes rely on Medicaid dollars for their long-term residents. They will be closing.
Now the hospitals that survive are going to be hit with a double whammy of an increase in uninsured patients that need to be treated & stabilized before discharge under EMTALA as well as being inundated with all the residents of closed nursing homes which won't be able to be discharged because they now don't have a payer source for a new nursing home. For those who qualify for a disability waiver under what's left of Medicaid, it won't matter because there will not be enough nursing home beds available due to closures. They will sit in the hospital because they are unsafe to be discharged to home & have nowhere else to go.
This delay in discharge will result in beds being taken away from people in the ER. The people in the ER waiting for a bed upstairs will slow the triage of patients in the waiting room. What that means for the general public is longer wait times in the ER, which, when we are talking about a heart attack or stroke, that extra wait time will result in permanent disability or death.
Yep, people are going to hate losing their lives, but it's all part of the plan.

Is there a way to block this thread so that I no longer see it anywhere on the site? It is triggering, and I already left this site once because of it. I do not want to leave again, because I really need genuine support for tinnitus and noxacusis.
Trump's answer to a reporter's question today about his '90 deals in 90 days' promise he made in April.
Nothing like sending letters and calling them deals, and then saying the deadline is not firm. President Deals wins!
TRANSLATION: We got ZERO DEALS, but I will continue to lie about it until it becomes a reality.

He can't even give a compliment without revealing his ignorance and prejudice. But hey, I guess that's exactly what you love and relate to. Keep them coming!
The Trump administration is doing fine. The markets are coming back, and some have reached all-time highs. The unemployment rate is low, at 4.1%.
ICE is working very hard to catch and deport many more criminal illegal immigrants. There is nothing wrong with immigration, but not the kind that Joe Biden permitted.
There were presidents that I voted for, and later regretted doing so. Trump is not among them, and hopefully, this will not change.

Trump and his cabinet members are doing fine. They are a common-sense group of very smart people. I'm afraid the only way you're going to rid yourself of TDS is possibly shock therapy. I wish you well, my gay friend from Norway.
