Could Capping Medicaid Lead To Capping Medicare & Social Security Or Even Veterans Care.

Hyperbolic? But who ever thought that Medicaid caps would surface? Such and idea is an anathema. So if you are getting care for a chronic problem they cut you off in the middle of chemo or something.

The GOP refers to Social Security and Medicare as entitlements all the time. Does that mean they would consider capping them. They are equating these earned benefit insurance programs as welfare and theft from the young. Yet ultimately everyone working and alive in the country will need them in their elder years.

Just about every one has some medical situation by the time they are middle aged. And many have problems even in their youth. So what the FUCK DO THESE BASTARDS WANT?

The present GOP has to be destroyed as far as I am concerned. It has turned into a EUGENICS PARTY.

When are people going to really get pissed and start terrifying these bastards. It looks like the worst of their agenda is yet to come.

I think that the "base" will start to crack when Grandma gets unloaded into the driveway when her cap is reached at the nursing home.
Problem is... we don't have the luxury of waiting for the base to see the light.

The eternal GOP war on any social spending that does not directly benefit the 1%.

The GOP is the "death panel" that Palin warned about.

If the Germans knew how easy it is and cheaper to just cut medical care they could have saved a lot of trouble and money.

they only want poor people alive as long as they are able to do work that benefits the RICH.

They ain't even trying to hide it anymore.

Drain you dry, cut you off Medicaid after a few months, and then BYE BYE.

Healthy respect for what your opponent wants to do is not paranoia. It's common sense.
