Governor Greg Abbott has refused Medicaid expansion every year he has been in office. The result: 5.1 million Texans uninsured, and nearly 1 in 4 uninsured children in America is a Texan. All hat. No cattle. #TexasPolitics #MedicaidExpansion

Their residents carry 3 to 4 times the medical debt of states like Massachusetts. Expansion works. They just won’t do it. #MedicaidExpansion

#JasonStanley calls the "Lost-golden-age syndrome" "The mythical past", he furthermore lists:
– Victimhood ("Instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up and even accelerate the invasion.")
– Law and order ( #ICE)
– Dismantling of public welfare and unity ( #SNAP, #ObamaCare, #Medicaid, #MediCare, medical research cuts, #MeaslesEpidemic)

#Idaho #MedicaidExpansion

I cannot wait to see how great Idaho will become if/when the state legislature/governor repeal our Medicaid Expansion law.

I guess there are a lot of people who believe having no readily available medical care will improve the plight of the citizens.

Maybe the race to the bottom platform has been initiated.

@charlesgaba I know you are handling #Medicaid and the #ACA (#AffordableCareAct aka #ObamaCare ), but not many people are talking about the billions of decreases in #Medicare spending in Trump's "Big Beautiful [GOP House passed Budget] bill," which often go hand and hand, esp with #disabled people on Medicaid and #MedicaidExpansion Medicare linked state programs...

They got this linked notice from the CBO on May 20 and decided to pass it May 22.

"Today the Congressional Budget Office transmitted an estimate of the
budgetary effects of the 2025 reconciliation bill...."

"The 4 percent maximum reduction in Medicare spending would apply to
sequestration orders for years after 2026. If OMB ordered a sequestration of $230 billion for each year through 2034, the ordered "reductions in Medicare spending would increase" to about $75 billion in 2034 and would total roughly $490 billion over the 2027–2034 period."

Kansas still hasn't expanded Medicaid, which would greatly benefit the state.

Medicaid expansion is not only necessary to bring health insurance to hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians, it'll bring jobs and a major economic boost to our state!

Read why #MedicaidExpansion is a good thing for #SouthCarolina.

The most infuriating part is how preventable this is! The mentality of "the sick & poor deserve to be sick & poor" runs rampant among the lawmakers in charge.

Is there no Republican in the #SouthCarolina General Assembly that finds this unacceptable?

Healthy people work.
Healthy people contribute to our tax base.
Healthy people utilize fewer social services.

A healthy population leads to a healthy economy!

I agree!

"As a long-time physician and public health advocate in Rock Hill, S.C., I am looking to our northern neighbors with envy. On Dec. 1, North Carolina closed the coverage gap and expanded Medicaid so that nearly 600,000 more people can now access affordable, quality healthcare.

South Carolina should take a cue from the Tar Heel state and follow in line as soon as possible."

Alabama is increasing its maternity deserts with each hospital closing. Shelby County just lost two maternity units.

Tommy Tuberville should perhaps shut his face about Global Events and pay attention to how his state is crumbling from the inside out.

Expanding Medicaid improves everyone’s health. So why hasn’t Texas done it yet? 🧑‍⚕️

“It absolutely makes no sense,” Johnson said. “This is politics. This is an uninformed, far-right Republican base, making a policy decision that is not based in truth, but it's based in myth, and an inaccurate belief structure.”

“Texas is a state that has the largest number of people who would benefit from expansion”

Georgia (USA) Gov. Kemp refuses to expand Medicaid to poor/low income people primarily because he doesn't want to appear "liberal" to his followers. As a result, people who have long term conditions like HIV & comorbidities cannot pay for care. This is life/death for them. His ambition vs their lives. #Medicaidexpansion #HIVsurge #BrianKemp #truthbrigade

#MedicaidExpansion in #NorthCarolina is a go --- now time to figure out how to quickly and easily transition the 100-138% FPLers who are on #CSR plans in the #ACA market to #Medicaid.

“Under [the 2021 American Rescue Plan], the federal government will cover 95 percent of costs for two years for new expansion states, with hospitals and insurers covering the rest.”

We’ve been fighting for #MedicaidExpansion here in North Carolina for years! I’m glad to see Republicans have finally found it in themselves to do what’s right for 600,000 North Carolinians who will benefit. SMH it’s taken this long!

Some more notes on #VictorRay’s #OnCriticalRaceTheory, cc:ing @sociology (S2, 4/...)

South Dakota GOPers tried to raise the threshold for ballot initiatives because they are that afraid of a Medicaid expansion campaign this November. The measure failed 2:1.

Red states want good social programs. They vote for them in referendums. Yet when it comes to choosing politicians, a lot of them often just can't help themselves and end up voting against their own interests. Chance to correct this coming soon.

It might not be a bad idea to add Medicaid expansion to Democratic party messaging, particularly in states where the voters want it, but the GOP state administration tries to overrule them. #MedicaidExpansion #ElectDemocrats
