Access to care and readily available doctors is already so great.

As we at the Prospect have reported, while the Senate’s version of the Republican budget reconciliation bill was widely expected to be more moderate than the House one, when it comes to health care it is more extreme. This came as a surprise to many Republicans, some of whom now want changes. And they all are highlighting the same area of concern. It would be “potentially really bad for rural hospitals,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told The Wall Street Journal. It’s “going to hurt our rural hospitals and hurt them in a big way,” said Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV). Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) expressed “concerns about the effect on rural hospitals in her state.

This is all certainly true. Senate cuts to the provider tax, a way for states to get more federal funding for their Medicaid programs, along with the House cuts that have been analyzed as leading to at least 11 million fewer people on the Medicaid rolls, will deeply harm the 700-plus rural hospitals already at risk of closure.


But that’s too narrow a frame. The entire health care provider network would come under heavy strain, and possibly collapse.

I mean why not? Let’s work on moving back to leaded gas and paints and DDT while we’re at it.

Inflation is down significantly, egg prices are so low the media wont even report them since they cant hurt Trump, tariffs have made almost everything the same price as before no increases even with the media hype trying to blast Trump for them.

All the guy does is win and put America first! I see why the left hates him more than ever

"The bill doesn't cut benefits for anyone who has income below the poverty line, anyone who is working at least 20 hours a week and not caring for a child, and people who are Americans," Jim Agresti, president and cofounder of Just Facts, told Fox News Digital in response to criticisms from Democrats and a handful of Republicans, including Sen. Josh Hawley, that Trump’s bill will cut Medicaid and disproportionately hurt the poor.

"In other words, it cuts out illegal immigrants who are not Americans and fraudsters. So that narrative has no basis in reality. See, what's been going on since the Medicaid program was started? Is that it's been expanded and expanded and extended. You know, it got its start in 1966. And since that time, the poverty rate has stayed roughly level around 11% to 15%. While the portion of people in the United States on Medicaid has skyrocketed from 3% to 29%. Right now, 2.5 times more people are on Medicaid than are in poverty."

A judge sided with Trump. Behind the scenes, he was lobbying for a nomination.

Ed Artau, now a nominee to be a district court judge in Florida, met with staff in the office of Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott to angle for the nomination less than two weeks after Trump’s election last fall, according to a new Senate disclosure obtained by POLITICO. In the midst of his interviews, Artau was part of a panel of judges that ruled in Trump’s favor in the president’s case against members of the Pulitzer Prize Board.

About two weeks after the court published his opinion — which called for the overturning of a landmark Supreme Court case that made it harder for public officials to sue journalists — he interviewed with the White House Counsel’s Office. In May, Trump announced his nomination to the federal judiciary.

trump and his cronies’ corruption knows no bounds.

All the guy does is win and put America first! I see why the left hates him more than ever

Yeah, was only a few months ago when the America hating self-appointed geniuses were saying imminent economic disaster and they were selling all of their stocks

Unemployment down
Inflation down
Middle class wages are up

Jobs are moving back to the United States of America


No tariff disaster

That’s why the FED didn’t cut rates. Growth has slowed, unemployment is slightly up, inflation is slightly more up.



And how are those steel and aluminum prices going to look with new tariffs?

But hey…now’s a good time to cut spending but still raise the debt through tax cuts for the rich.

[Caribbean Hen]

Tax cuts for the rich ok Bernie

The blue collars will be making more money with the extension of Trumps tax cuts and the Treasury will have more revenue

The Fed is still paranoid that Joey Rottens inflation is officially dead therefore no rate cuts.

The fed didn't cut rates because they don't want to help Trump succeed or look good. Same with the media, except they admit it unlike Powell
