Everybody just stood around talking for a little while. I sat near a Filipina nurse who said her father is a huge Trumper. She's trying to get him to realize that ICE doesn't care if a nonwhite person supports Trump. I offered her my deepest sympathies. All this shit we're going through, man, at least I don't have any Trumpers in my family. My heart goes out to all who do. First we heard from nursing leadership about #ICE and #Palantir in hospitals and cuts to #Medicaid.

RE: https://oldfriends.live/@paul/117433318590627317 Get this shit. Due to the Ohio #GOP overreaction to fraud and fear of Dr OZ, Trump, DOGE, and far right Media's behavior, have put a lot of my nursing home care at home #Medicaid medical care under prior authorization starting October 1, 2026. It is so new that my insurance company, the lessor of three evils that I had to choose from starting August 2026 for Ohio covered specific services, called MyCare Ohio because Ohio whored out all of Medicaid to commercial insurance companies called MyCare NextGen Medicaid, doesn't have a mechanism yet to offer PA for those services. They assure me they will but my Wall Street investment firm owned medical provider, who says they will reimburse me once the PA's come through, which is estimated at a month or so, are demanding $968.13 PER WEEK until PA comes through. It's a shit show in #Ohio #USpol #OhPol .

I've always thought raspberry flavored Medicade is the best. #medicaid #healthcare #Wisconsin #Republicans #Democrats

"Six years after the GAO first analyzed low-wage workers’ use of #Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP), the report found that the number of #Amazon employees who required federal assistance has nearly tripled since 2020, despite the fact that the e-commerce giant has increased its annual profits from $11.59 billion to $77.67 billion in that time."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@charlesgaba/117407247923580990 These fascists are so dumb they thought the disaster would only hit *after* the midterms. And that's in spite of us shouting from the rooftops to warn them. #healthcare #Medicaid

Once again, the fascists weren't smart enough to make their evil plans work. They thought they could destroy what's left of US healthcare and consolidate power before they got the blowback. Because these people don't understand how anything works, we EVEN WARNED THEM ABOUT THIS. And they still did it. Sorry, guys, but your voters wanted to be racist, not poor! https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/03/gop-plan-to-punt-health-care-cuts-didnt-work-01105384#healthcare #Medicaid #Democrats #Republicans #Midterms #MAGA

The proposed change would slash reimbursements public ambulance providers receive through Medicaid & could mean a loss of hundreds of dollars per transport.

That #Google co-founder #Brin has spent over 100 million dollars to defeat Prop 40 is all you need to know to vote for it. Here is the endorsement from the Sacramento Bee. "We agree that Washington should fix #Medicaid funding, and we agree Sacramento should develop a better tax system. But neither government has done so, and no opponent who met with our editorial board presented a funded alternative to Prop. 40." https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/california-pass-billionaire-tax-proposition-173000988.html #USPol #California

Fuck "No Labels" but they do provide information about how much Congress has "worked" this year: 383 hours total for the House in 2026, through the end of August. As is being pointed out on other platforms, the House would not meet the 80 hour per month work requirements they passed for #Medicaid.

As a result of the Rethuglican "One Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law last year (that the Dems caved on), millions of USians are receiving notice that as of January 1, they no longer qualify for Medicaid health insurance due to work requirements. If you lose your job, and your health insurance with it, too bad. If you can't find a job, too bad. The downstream effects of this will be catastrophic for the uninsured. Hospitals and clinics will close. #Healthcare #USPol #Medicaid

In my rural state of #Vermont, and I presume others, all the #hospitals have ceased to operate birthing centers and #OBGYN clinics due to the Big Beautiful Budget elimination of #Medicaid and imminent scrapping, at this years' end after midterm elections, to the #Medicare reimbursements upon which hospitals have also been made to rely. Meanwhile the Private #Insurance (reimbursement-collection & service-denial) Industry has been greenlighted to raise premiums out of reach for a third to half of households while remaining nonresponsible for any such coverage. People are opting not to seek care. Probably all coincidental. #healthcare #medicalNews #healthNews #financialNews #redistribution #plutocracy #plunder #healthcareIsAHumanRight #nvma Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled.

Nurses and activists marched together nationwide to protest ICE and Palantir receiving protected information from #Medicaid. This shouldn't even need to be said: healthcare should have no relationship with law enforcement over immigration. Domestic violence or child abuse, that's one thing. But nobody should be using healthcare data to round up harmless people and put them in concentration camps.

On July 30, 1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson made Medicare and Medicaid law by signing H.R. 6675 in Independence, Missouri. Former President Truman was issued the very first Medicare card during the ceremony. #Medicare #Medicaid

The first presidential candidate to include a proposal for #UniversalHealthcare was #TheodoreRoosevelt in 1912, but the first tentative, partial step toward it was taken by #LyndonBJohnson on #ThisDayInHistory in 1965 with the addition of #Medicare & #Medicaid to #SocialSecurity.

Rob Bresnahan says one thing and does another. He said he wasn't going to cut healthcare, but he did. He lied to #PA08 voters over and over again. #Medicaid

In 2020 as Kentucky faced a spike of deadly overdoses, Gov. Andy Beshear set out to help more people access drug treatment by loosening Medicaid spending controls. But as the costs piled up, so did the warnings that the system was being abused. https://www.propublica.org/article/andy-beshear-kentucky-opioid-drug-crisis-medicaid-spending-fraud?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Kentucky #AndyBeshear #Medicaid #Fraud #Healthcare #Health #Drugs

"Democratic attorneys general and the Justice Department are facing off for the first time in court Tuesday over the fine line between being sick and being 'medically frail,' a distinction that could cost Medicaid recipients their health benefits." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/28/trump-dems-court-battle-over-medicaid-work-requirements-01013114 #healthcare #medicaid #insurance #disabilities #work #HealthPolicy #courts

RFK Jr. pauses $1bn Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota (Blue State attacks and lying AI). Stop paying the Fed now, taxation without representation’ The Trump admin isn’t proving any fraud before cutting off critical Medicaid funding - they’re relying on AI-generated fraud flags to justify pausing payments that MILLIONS of Americans depend on. #Medicaid #California #Minnesota #AI #Trump
