I have zero pity for those that lost healthcare, that lost their farms, that lost their doctors, that lost their medical centers.
None, nada, zilch.
They voted for Trump. They did this to themselves.
Those that didn’t vote in 2024 also did this to themselves and others.
Idiots…voting against your own interests. Shame.
As a healthcare worker, it sucks. As a patriot, good riddance…..learn your own lesson.

My mother is a nurse practitioner that works with geriatric patients. She voted for this. 3 times. Make it make sense.
I work with Medicaid, Medicare and ACA health insurance. Lots of people are pissed and don’t know what to do, but there’s still some I hear saying it’s expensive and unavailable to more people now “because of all the fraud.”
It’s not part of my job role to debate with idiots though. Some people will always want to shine the very boots that are stepping on them.
Imagine if we had a government that works for the people instead of greedy billionaires and hostile cable news propaganda hosts.
Imagine if a Democrat candidate ran on a platform of “We are going to give healthcare to Democrat voters only!”
Would MAGA scream about how they should also get healthcare, of would they argue to take healthcare away from everyone?
Remind me again how this is the “pro life” party?
GrEAt mAGa nEwS!
The government doesn’t care, because they know they have nothing to worry about.
With enough thoughting and praying you don’t need hospitals.
They will still blame it on Biden or Obama.
DSP (direct support professional) here. People don’t really know about my job. It’s not as glamorous as a doctor or a nurse. I take care of and support vulnerable intellectually disabled adults. I help them with day to day tasks and help them to get out in the community and live life the way they want to live it. I help them meet goals and do things they want to do, whether that goal be something as small as holding a spoon correctly, or something bigger like starting their own business. I love my job. I love witnessing small miracles and interacting with caring and compassionate people every single day I do it. I love our clients and all of the amazing, incredible things they’ve done despite a world that constantly tells them they can’t.
And listen, if we are shut down (which we are in danger of being every day this goes on), there will be just as much devastation as losing medical professionals. Many of our clients all around the country don’t have families to turn to. We ARE their family. Without our support helping them to apply for and maintain social security, which is a grueling task for even the most professional of us, THEY. WILL. DIE. And if our budget is cut, we are done, and THEY WILL DIE.
I challenge any MAGA to explain how any of this is a good thing. Tell me why you voted for this. Tell me why you chose to hurt so many of our country’s population in need. I DARE you to come to my organization, look in the faces of every client, and explain it to them.
But you won’t. You’re all a bunch of psychopathic cowards who love this shit. You live for it. You eat it up. You wouldn’t last a day doing my job. And please for the love of God, drop the Christian bit. You aren’t fooling anyone anymore. Jesus doesn’t know you
They’d rather spend the money protecting pedos…
And here’s the thing, They… Don’t… Care… period. And until the percentage of American citizens that still vote Republican and give credence to the pedo-in-chief change their ways nothing is going to change.
Generational damage on a epic scale has been done and it started long before Epstein’s best friend took office and honestly I’ll be lucky if my child will see the tide turn, though I remain optimistic.
6 months to mid-term elections.
Literally heard two reports on NPR today.
First report – My brother died at 50 from a heart attack due to the closure of our rural hospital under Trump. I’m voting red straight down the ticket, because we’re saying a lot of prayers here.
Second report – I can’t afford to run my shrimp boat after 50 years because the cost of fuel is too high. I like what Trump is doing.
These fucking people…
Congratulations America, your own government wants you to suffer. Fantastic!
If you not at least a multimillionaire then fuck you
While Trump is at fault for being the nail in the coffin – it’s important to not take ALL responsibility away from the corporations and such that have been bleeding healthcare alive for years.
Well before Trump, hospitals have found ways to keep CEO’s in their Bentley’s, while paying people less and less.
I work closely with a bunch of large healthcare provider networks. While the changes to the ACA and the removal of insurance controls have hurt, the worst is yet to come. Starting in Jan 2027, HR-1 kicks in. It makes it harder for people to qualify for Medicaid and adds a work requirement that requires reevaluation every 6 months. It also makes massive cuts to state Medicaid funding as well as grants to healthcare providers. Making the evaluation process more complex while also cutting funding to the states that need to do the evaluation is going to cause people who qualify for Medicaid to need to wait months (or perhaps never get it) before receiving their qualification approval.
Oh, they also changed the retroactive payment timeline to 1 month, meaning that if you apply for Medicaid and it takes them 6 months to approve your application, you’re responsible for all the billing that occurs for the first 5 months of that time.
Literal millions are going to lose their Medicaid. And more will have it lapse due to the evaluation timelines even though they qualify. Medicaid money disappearing is going to cause a cascade effect that will cause a lot of hospitals and healthcare providers in poorer areas to shut down. It’s going to cause healthcare deserts to show up in almost every state.
The healthcare providers are panicking, rightfully so. Not only because they’re likely going to need to fire people to reduce their spending due to millions of dollars in funding disappearing, but also because they know that they are going to be forced to drop a lot of patients because they’ll have no other means to pay. Some of those patients are going to die. Most of the people I work with in healthcare got into it because they wanted to help save lives. Knowing that people are going to die because Trump wanted to give tax breaks to billionaires is really weighing on them.
Somebody’s gotta pay for those billionaire tax cuts.
This is what his people want. For some unexplainable reason they don’t think any of this will ever touch them. It’s always ” Those People “. Shows you their dark hearts.
I can’t believe joe biden did this.
Rural areas that have their hospitals close are far more likely to vote Republican in the following election. It doesn’t make sense to me, but it’s what happens.
