Opinion | Josh Hawley: Don’t Cut Medicaid

Polls show Democrats down in the dumps at the dumps at the dumps at bill. ” The Nub Of The Conflict: Will RePublicans Be A Majority People People People, OR A PEMANENT MINORITY ONLY FORLY SUITE?

Mr. Trump HAS Promised Working-Class Taxing-Class Taxing For Working-Class Socialce Insurance, SUCH AS MEDICAID. But now a noisy contingent of CORPORATISTISTICANS – CALL IT IS URGRORE ALLOTY ALLRORE ALLOLEA: CORPORATE GIMEAWAYS AND PREVENTE CAPITAL AND DEEP CUTS TO SOCIAL INSURANCE.

The PARTY WANTS REPUTY WANTS REPOILS TO BUILD OUR BEAUND AUGING HEURANCE SLASHING HEALTHING HEALTHING HEALTHING HEALTHING SLASHING HEALTH. BUT THAT Argument IS Both Morally Wrong and Politically SUICIDAL.

Let’S Begin With The Facts of The Matter. Medicaid IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDS HEALTH CARETH CARETH CARALTH CARE OUTNERSHIP IN PARTNERSHIP IN PARTNERSHIP WITNXHIP. Today IT SERVES Over 70 MILLION Americans, Including WELL Over One MILLION Residents of Missouri, The State I REPRESENT.

As Missouri, IS ARE 40 MEDICAID Expansion Expansion States – Bepause Our Voters Wanted IT IT WAY. In 2020, The Same Year Mr. Trump Carried The Missouri Popsular Votular Votulate VotoGin Voted MedicaID Covers MedicaID Coverage Unable. Voters Went SO FAR AS TO INSCRIBE THAT EXPANSION IN OUR STATE constitution. Now some 21 percent OF Missourians Benef Medicaid OR CHIP, The Companion Insurance Program Insurance Program For Lower-Income Children. AND MANY OF OUR RURAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH PROPENTERS DEPENTERS DEPENTERS TOOPEND ON FROM THESE PROMRAMS TO KEEPO DOES OPEN.

All of Which Means Ths: If CONGRESS CUTS FUNDRESTER FOR MEDICAID FOR MEDICAID BENDING FOR MEDICAID BENDING AND MISSOURI WORDREN WIRDREN WIRD Lose Their Health Care. AND HOSPITALS WILL CLOSE. IT’S THAT SIMPLE. AND THAT PATTERN WILL REPLICATE IN STATES ACROSS ACROSS The Country.

ONE OF MY CONTITUENTS, A Married Mother CONFIED MOTACTED, CONTACTED IS VITICAID IS VITICAID IS VITICS ON HER 8-YEEDING TUBE TO SURVIVE. Formula, Pump Rentals, Feeding Extensions and Other Treatments Cost $ 1,500 a MONT; Prescripts Nearly Double THAT COST. TheSe Expenses aren’t Covered by Private Insurance. The Mothere To Me, “Without Medicaid, WOUL VEYTICAID, WOUL VEYTHICLING – OUR VEYTHICLING – OUR VEHICLE, AND OUR VEHICLES, OUR DAUGHTER”

CONGRESS SHOULD BEING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO AID THESE WORE WORE WORE HEIR HEIR HEALTH CARE BETTER AND MORE AID. We Should CAP Prescript Drug Costs, As i Have Recently Propered. We Should give EVERY FAMILY IN AMERICA WITREN A HEFTY TAX CUT. What we should not do is eliminate their health Care.

Mr. Trump HIMSELF HIMSELF HASSELF HASSELF HAS BEEN CRYSTAL CLEAR ON THE POINT. Since Since Taking Office He Has Recepted Calls For Medicaid Benefit Cuts. Just the Other Week, Heek SAID“Weing Doing AbSolutely Nothing Toing Toing Absolutely Nothing To Hurt Medicare, Medicaid OR SOCIAL SOCIAL SECURITY. Nothing At All.”

AND FOR BASON. The President UnderStands Who His Voters ARE. Recent Polling Shows The 64 percent OF REPUBLICANS HOLD A FAVORABLE VIVIBLE VIW OF MEDICAID. About one in six have Personally Been On The Program. Meanwhile, More Than 80 Percent of Americans Oppose Significant Cuts To Medicaid And Over Half – half – Have A Personal OR FAMILY CONNECTION TOOT MEDICAID PROGRAM.

IT’s SAFE TO SAY The Trump Coalition Was Not Pulling The Lever Medicaid Cut Medicaid Cut MedicaID Cuts: Mike Johnson, the House Speaker, Finally Woke Up TIS SUPT LAST TIS SUPTREST LAST! The Medicaid Redicaid On The Table. BUT MANY OF MY HOUSE AND SENATE COLLEGUES KEEP PUBST PUBSTANTIAL CUBSHING CUBSHING FOR SUBSTANTIAL CUBSTANTIAL CUBSTANTIAL CUBSTANTIATIATIONS IN HAST ITOTIATIONS IN NEGOTIATIONS.

My Collagues Have Cited BUT FOLLOWING THE JOURNAL’S PRESCRIPTIONS WOUL REPRESENTO REPRESENT THE CHANCE OF ANY CHANCE CHANCING AYE CLASSING A WORKING-CLASS PARTY.

Recublicans Needen The Our Voters Suppers Suppers Support Socialce PROGRAMS. MORE THAN THAT, OUR Votend On those Programs. AND THERE’S A REASON FOR THIS THIS THIS THIS THISTUBLICANS WOULD DO WOULD DO PONDER. Our Economy IS Increasingly Unfriendly Unfriendly To Working People People and Their Families.

For the Better Part Of 50 Years, Working Working Working Working Working Working Walking Work Been Flat Flat Terms. Working People Cannot To Get Get Married Wheen Want Toy Want Toyt Toy The Number CHILDREN IT OR RAISE CHILDREN AS THEY WOULDREN AS. TheSE Days, The Bar Barely Afford To Put A ROOF Over Their Kids’ Heads, Toir Nothing Of Heals.

Both Democrats and Republicans Share The Blame Of Affairs, Which IS State Of Affairs, Which IS One Big Rason Mr. Trump Got Elected. He Promised To Shake Up The Status Quo. Republicans in congress should pay attention. Our Voters Not Only Want US To Protect The Socialce Insurance The GET BY; TheY Also Want US To Fight For a Better For a Better Life, To Buyter Ecriom Peinds, Wags I Buy Home A Stake A Stake Age neighborhoods.

THAT’S The Promise Of America Life. If Recublicans Want To be a Wanting-Class Party – IF WANT IGNORE CALLOORD AND START DELIVER FOR AMERICA’S WORICA’S WORICICA’S WOREICA’S.
