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.
"Oh, we've spoken to everybody. We know every. It's all done. I told you. I told you we'll make some deals, but for the most part we're gonna send a letter. We're gonna say, 'Welcome to the United States. If you'd like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever.' I mean, we're doing better than ever. We have. I don't think. And you're gonna see these numbers soon. We've never had numbers like this. We've never had investment like this. Uh, we have more than 90. We're gonna have much more than 90. But most of those are gonna be sent a letter. This is exactly what I said. Now, we've made a deal with United Kingdom. We've made a deal with China. We've made a deal. We're close to making a deal with India. Others, we've met with, and we don't think we're gonna be able to make a deal. So, we just send them a letter. 'Do you wanna, do you wanna play ball? This is what you have to pay.' So, we're, as far as I'm concerned, we're done. We're sending out letters to various countries, telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a, you know, cause. We're not gonna be unfair about it. And actually, it's a small fraction compared to what we should be getting. We should be. We could be asking for much more. But for the sake of relationships that we've had with a lot of really good countries, we're doing the way I do it. But we could be getting a lot more. We could ask for a lot more than what we're asking for."
TRANSLATION: We got ZERO DEALS, but I will continue to lie about it until it becomes a reality.

Nothing like sending letters and calling them deals, and then saying the deadline is not firm. President Deals wins!
