That's consistent with what I said. It's the increases in the Medicaid program being cut
Just keep in mind that if you don't agree with them then you want kids to die of cancer.
Cut back to pre- ACA levels, obviously.
This has bee repeated, numerous times, in more than one thread.
Kudos to you if it sinks in.

Opinions vary.....
yea well I don't want my taxes to fund wars, what are you going to do? me? vote for someone who's a little less crazy than the current fucktard in chief and someone who knows the population as a whole benefits from universal health care (see: all other civilized nations),My generosity in paying taxes.
So you disagree with my choice of terms. Fine. Just say that. Calling me a liar for that doesn't fit the crime
No, just the rate of increase.
SENATE DRAFT: BETTER CARE RECONCILIATION ACT
Federal funding for Medicaid expansion phases out between 2021 and 2023. In addition, eight states would have a trigger clause — if the federal matching rate declines below the ACA-promised rates, the expansion goes away immediately in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Washington. Further reductions would start in 2025. In a separate provision, states could impose a work requirement on recipients. Most able-bodied adult Medicaid recipients already work.

dude, you're perilously close to the "conway zone: the land of alt-facts" carefulhttp://www.npr.org/sections/health-...o-wins-who-loses-with-senate-health-care-bill
So not paying for the current Medicaid expansion is NOT a cut?
Playing word games is all this is. Spending less than you originally planned isn't a cut.http://www.npr.org/sections/health-...o-wins-who-loses-with-senate-health-care-bill

Politicians and news outlets alike have given the false impression that the White House budget would downsize Medicaid. Although the budget allocates less than baseline estimates, it does not cut funding below current levels. On the contrary, it grows the size of Medicaid and keeps funding levels over time proportional in terms of the total budget. We rate this claim as false.
A cut is spending less (adjusted for inflation) than you spent the prior year. That's how people understand a cut.It doesn't say that, it says phasing out Medicaid expansion. The Medicaid expansion was put into place via the ACA to cover those that cannot, by the states that accepted and implemented it. How else are you supposed to read that?
Oh, and you're the one playing semantics. If the plan changes the amount to be spent, it's a cut. Otherwise, there would be the 'option' to continue spending the original amount.
Again it's the expansion of Medicaid that being cut. The rate of expansion needs to be cut.
Not everyone agrees with that assessment:

What does the Senate bill have to do with rating the Trump budget? Do they match?
Phasing out benefits that people already have is obviously a cut.
That's how you want people to understand the word cut so that they think that they aren't losing anything. My boss tells me that I'm getting a 5% raise in January in December, tells me I'm getting 2%. So my raise didn't get a cut?
Ok, by your game, it's not a 'cut' in growth, it's just a slowing of growth, right?
Good question. If they don't then there's room for a deal. One thing's for certain, as it stands right now the Senate bill is not passing
That's the way I read it. Either the states can make it up on their own or they can cut it to sustainable levels.
And I remember people stating that T-Rump had no chance of getting elected. I even warned people at my office the night of the election to no underestimate the man. I have him no chance to win the GOP primary when he first announced and after he did, I never said another word on his chances....even when the infamous "Grab them by the pussy" video was released. There's severe partisanship going on right now and they will do their damnest to push it through regardless of how the people feel.
And the states have plenty of time to sort that out. Understand that who pays for what on Medicaid is not going to control the costs of healthcare in this country. All you're doing here is picking winners and losers
Nope sea ray completely deflected to don't call me names bro mode and ignored the post.
I guess deflectors were just set to maximum.
