We all knew it was coming. If you’re on the ACA Medicaid extension or Medicaid in general be prepared to have mandatory work hours to get access to a fundamental human right all so rich people can make a few extra bucks.

Whelp… If only a majority of them voted we might not be in this shit. Pain is a coming and it’s gonna suck. Sorry for those that tried to prevent it and failed.
37 million of them are children. People are also on Medicaid because they’re poor. Which is also correlated with problems voting. Then there’s the distribution of people on Medicaid; which is much lighter in swing states. (And some others but those states are the ones that matter)
Basically, there’s no realistic way they could have swung the election and asking the poorest and most put upon people in our country to be the ones to save it is the height of entitlement.
Each state was about 40k votes. If this is 25% of the population I’m sure there’s a chunk that shot themselves in the foot here. And yea, I grieve for those caught in this. It fucking sucks. People need to wake up and vote to improve their lives vs us barreling towards violent revolution.
That’s the problem though, it’s not 25% of each state, and roughly half of them are kids. So you’re looking at a number more like 8% before you even get into voting barriers for people with poverty issues.
I somewhat agree, but I bet it’s a bit more complicated than that. Whether rooted in reality or not, part of me thinks that a lot of those 80 million people (if the numbers I saw are accurate) are comprised of children and some quantity of people who can’t or aren’t really mentally competent enough to make rational voting decisions. Feels like it’s hurting the most vulnerable, rather than the people who are literally asking for it.
Mostly, I’m just a little surprised to hear that the number is so high. If 25% of the population alone is on medicaid, and assuming there’s any where near comparable percentage of people on medicare, it’s hard to understand the argument against universal and/or single payer healthcare systems.
