So much for realignment. New analysis from UnidosUS shows the House’s cuts to Medicaid and SNAP are unprecedented, twice as large as anything under President Reagan,
This along with the amount of tax people who are in the income bracket who can qualify for Medicaid have to pay is ridiculous. How can someone with an income of $17000. be made to pay income tax and them maybe not get Medicaid??
The continued trouncing of the majoritarian tradition in our nation by Republican/Libertarian zealots was dealt a huge blow when the Reagan "revolution" fell flat under its own weight.
Nonetheless, the zealots only doubled down and through endless organizing of like-minded groups pursuing perversion of economics and law--for 50 years now--we have come to this.
The majoritarian tradition is being blatantly ignored and belittled without impunity.
The effort to create entirely new, completely selfish belief systems to energize the cause of privatization while cutting government spending on "entitlements," castrating regulations and cutting taxes for those of support destroying our government has been fulfilled.
So then, in the sitting position with your head between your knees, it's time so say your good-byes to all that you once held dear.
How does this contrast to trends? Before COVID, we had about 5% growth. Since, 7.7%+, per year. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" proposes nearly $700 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade.
FY 2023 Actual vs. Projected: $860 billion vs. $722.7 billion, approximately 19% higher than the linear projection fro mpre-COVID.
FY 2024 Projected vs. Linear: $871.7 billion vs. $758.8 billion, approximately 15% higher than the linear projection.
The $700B cut seems to take us back to the extrapulation from pre-pandemic.
Is there a reason growth should continue at 7.7% or not go back to 5%?
Has anyone seen any innovation forecast in the analysis? That people anticipate better quality, cost, or demographic change?
It’s wild how this budget keeps getting sold as “populist” when it guts exactly the things that working families rely on most. I work with a lot of parents who depend on Medicaid,not because they’re unemployed, but because their jobs are unstable or don’t offer benefits. These cuts aren’t just numbers. They’re going to show up as fewer prenatal visits, more ER debt, and more rural clinics shutting down. That’s the realignment? Feels more like Reaganomics in a MAGA hat.
