Kellyanne Conway Defends Medicaid Cuts, Says Adults Can Always Find Jobs
Source: Huffington Post
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday came right out and said what so many Republicans are probably thinking ― that taking Medicaid away from able-bodied adults is no big deal, because they can go out and find jobs that provide health insurance.
Apparently nobody has told Conway that the majority of able-bodied adults on Medicaid already have jobs. The problem is that they work as parking lot attendants and child care workers, manicurists and dishwashers ― in other words, low-paying jobs that typically dont offer insurance. Take away their Medicaid and they wont be covered.
Appearing on ABC This Week program, Conway faced tough questions about steep cuts to Medicaid in the Better Health Care Act ― the bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act that Senate Republican leaders released on Thursday and hope to bring to a vote this week.
The Affordable Care Act ― Obamacare ― offered states extra federal matching funds to expand Medicaid eligibility, so that anybody with income below or just above the poverty line would qualify. Under the Senate bill, like its House counterpart, the federal government would withdraw those extra funds, forcing most of the 31 states (plus the District of Columbia) that accepted the money to roll back their expansions partly or entirely.

(2,596 posts)that can pay for staggering medical expenses from a work-related injury or illness that's left someone too debilitated to actually work the old job he or she had that caused it. Even if that person can cobble together two-bit shit jobs to work - assuming it's even physically possible to work them - those kinds of jobs don't pay for even basic necessities, let alone the high cost of what's going to be overwhelming and probably ever-growing medical expenses caused by this fucking debacle of the first magnitude. And somebody needs to 'splain it to me like I'm dimshit tRump, how the hell a baby or a child with medical issues covered under Medicaid is going to "go out and find a job". What a sleazoid bitch on stilts this airhead is.
Fuckers. I hope a terrorist nukes congress (while the Dems are back in their home districts) and takes out every single motherfucking, miserable shit within the entire rethug party. God damn. I fucking hate these bastards.

(10,419 posts)Kellyanne, you dimwit, you're over 40 yourself. Try finding a job on your own - and not by calling in any political favors.
Try writing a resume describing a long history of professional qualifications - but not TOO long or they'll figure you're over 50 and toss your application into the round file.
I'd say you are a joke, but your senseless blatherings have real effects on real people.
Just go away, and take the rest of your sorry bunch with you.

That's what she said she felt like she had to do her right after an interview on Morning Joe a few months ago and there was hot mic that caught her. Everything about her leaves a stench.
If the Beavis character had black eye make up and a different hairdo it would be identical.

(3,334 posts)I never worked at a job that offered health insurance to it's employees. Not once in my adult life. I live in Texas. I 2008 I was 28 years old, a single mom and over $80,000 in medical debts, despite never having a pre-existing condition or any major illness.
Prior to 2008, to be self insured for a young mom and her child, with a $1,000 deductible, it would run you around $1,500 a month.
That's the system we are going back to.
If your child is sick, and you don't have insurance, the best bet you have is an ER visit. Then, you are looking at a $5,000 bill afterwards for something as simple as the flu.
From previous experiences, I can tell you:
An ER will turn you away if you owe them money.
Medical Bills do affect your credit and credit score.
An employer won't offer you insurance if they feel like they don't have to.
It's terrible what we used to do and what they want to do.

(2,120 posts)Great "logic" from these sickening "people." Rob the poor to reward the rich - as always - and if anyone complains say "Get a job" as you're hurling cash at millionaires.
And the rubes will still race out in droves to vote for these idiots so long as they're kept ignorant and fearful. Unreal.
