Setting Things Right
@trueCRT
STR was created to solve intractable problems in our cities and towns by empowering people to hold and act on their conservative values in their communities.








The House reconciliation bill must change. It 1) increases debt by $20T (to over $56T in a decade), 2) backloads savings (typical swamp), 3) locks in place Obamacare’s failing Medicaid expansion subsidizing able-bodied over vulnerable & likely pressuring no-expansion states to expand, 4) delays work requirements til AFTER Trump & includes massive waiver, 5) delays IRA subsidy repeal until after Trump, 6) many other issues.


The proposal to stop waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid will do little to achieve that. The common-sense work requirement for able-bodied adults doesn’t start for four years (into the next administration) and CAN BE WAIVED by any state for “hardship” that they determine (and they will). What a joke. The swamp is real. And by the way…the federal government should NOT pay states more for able-bodied, working-age adults on Medicaid than it pays states for children, pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities on Medicaid.
