Whither Medicaid?

RE · Jul 01, 2025, 06:58 AM

We're coming down to the wire on Trumpolini's "Big ~~Beautiful~~ Ugly Bill", which besides cutting taxes for the rich will eviscerate Medicaid, which a huge number of low income people depend on to supplement Medicare, particularly in Alaska. It remains to be seen whether Lisa Murkowski will vote against it, but even if she does it will take an additional 2 as yet unidentified Repugnants to vote no to crash the bill.

Yours truly of course is one of the folks depending on Medicaid. and I have no idea how it plays out for me if it passes. No idea where the line will be drawn on who gets cut or whether the state will cough up money to fill in. I do know if I get cut it will also cut many of the other residents of the Gulag with me, and how this place would stay open is a mystery. Very exciting. lol.
