The unprecedented healthcare cuts that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party enacted last summer have impacted people in all 50 US states, stripping insurance coverage from around 8 million Americans total and wreaking havoc on hospitals and other providers nationwide.
The advocacy group Protect Our Care on Tuesday released state-by-state fact sheets detailing how many people have lost Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act coverage due to Republican policy decisions, including the party’s roughly $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid and decision to let enhanced ACA subsidies expire, sending premiums skyrocketing.
And all of these 8 million will never vote Republican again, right? RIGHT?
A few million that lost their healthcare were children.
So not many votes lost for the gop. Wonder if that was part of their calculation
They want to keep people busy and desperate enough to not even bother voting. They want people focused on surviving so they can continue to break this country down and profit from it.
That’s like 2% of the nation, and elections are split by less than 1% so I would say yep, for sure, FOR SURE that’s lights out for the GOP. I mean people always vote their interests, right Anakain?
Trump will blame Biden, and that will be the end of it in their minds.
How many of them will even hear of this number?
You know the answer: The Republicans who were impacted will line up and vote for the only party they feel¹ cares about them at all, even though they feel that neither party truly cares about them.
Fucking fascist propaganda for decades has done its dirty work well.
