>"Starting in 2025, Medicaid spending would grow at the rate of inflation (known as CPI-U); while the House-passed health bill indexed Medicaid to the faster growth rate of medical inflation (CPI-M) plus 1 percentage point, in order to try and keep pace with the disproportionate growth in health care costs"
The Senate just endorsed higher cuts to Medicaid than the House. Is the Senate bill /ourbill/?

insurance isn't welfare, saged
Medicare/Medicade are a massive scam. You can argue Social Security is moral because people "paid into it." The amount old people take from medicare is fucking nuts. Why do we need to spend 10s of thousands to keep some 75 year old whose brain is fried and whose body can barely move alive? Just let them die fuck.

Whenever they talk about people losing health care coverage, they're talking about cuts to entitlements like Medicaid expansion. This is a step in the right direction by rolling back what Obama did and hopefully the next time a Dem is in power, we can use the power of the state governments to pursue our own health care initiatives.
I wonder if these people realize that keeping these people alive past 70 has no positive benefit for our society but is bankrupting us. Or do they just not care? It's not like these people even really benefit from living that long. Just walking to the bathroom is agonizing for them, and many of them can barely remember what happened yesterday.

People wouldn't pay for either if the law didn't force you to buy it. You're the retards that thought making health insurance into medical welfare was a great idea.

The problem isn't the elderly as much as welfare niggers and "not for profit" agencies that take care of the retarded. Did you know medicaid money is used to buy electronics and luxury vacations for people that smear shit and stalk children?
Seriously, read up on places like ARCs and organizations for the "developmentally disabled." Billions of dollars are wasted on luxuries for people that lack the cognition to enjoy them, and you pay for it.
