    The Trump administration is reportedly finalizing a proposal to

    begin dismantling Medicaid,

    bypassing Congress in the process.


    The administration is considering fulfilling the long-held Republican dream of

    turning the program into a block grant through a waiver process,

    which would allow states to forego the normal funding stream for what the administration calls "flexibilty."


    If states decide to use the block grants,

    federal funding for the program will be capped, and

    states would then be responsible for filling healthcare needs beyond that cap,

    either by kicking people out of the program, or

    reducing payments to the hospitals that care for the uninsured and to nursing homes.

    "We have long voiced concerns about how

    block granting Medicaid could ultimately result in losses of coverage and negatively impact access to quality care,"

    "serious negative consequences for communities across America" unless alternative coverage for low-income Americans was guaranteed.

    Candidate Trash promised many time not ever to touch Medicaid, but the oligarchy says cutting $100Bs from Medicaid (Medicare, SS, etc) is how the oligarchy's govt offsets the $Ts in taxcuts for themselves.

    Trash's "quid pro quo transaction" with the oligarchy obtains the oligarchy's $100Ms in 2020 campaign cash

    Pootin would be thrilled that Trash let suffer and/or killed by denying health care to 100Ks Americans

    So would the oligarchy that wants MORE tax cuts by destroying the safety net.

    hmm, dictator Pootin and the anti-democracy, fascist American oligarchy have the same goals? yep
