Description

Republican divisions over changes to Medicaid — the federal health care program for poor, elderly and disabled Americans — are becoming the chief hurdle to getting President Trump's major tax, immigration and energy agenda through Congress. GOP lawmakers who represent swing districts insist they will not vote for any proposal that strips benefits. But conservatives are demanding deep cuts in spending and say restructuring Medicaid is one of the clearest ways to achieve that goal. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Republicans will be able to pass the bill despite the hits MAGA supporters on Medicait will take as a result.

This is how every empire ends itself -- over-extending into expensive pointless wars while the e-leet of the empire fleece the empire that sustains them.

MAHA needs to get in gear. Health care is too expensive because all of the industries are financially incentivized to keep us poisoned.

If you cut the profiteering, you can continue the same service and cut spending.

why not allow an option for every US citizen to have access to the same exact health care US congress gets? Seems like a cheaper option.
