The so-called One Big Beautiful Bill that congress approved last summer will cut approximately $1 billion in Medicaid from the poor people of West Virginia. Linked above is an op-ed from Dr. Dan Doyle (pictured), a physician who has been treating these folks for the last 45 years.
Helen Hicks Baker writes, “For several years, it was my honor to serve on a rural health committee with Dr. Doyle. He’s an impressive guy, and absolutely right on health care policy.”
We can keep raising our defense budget, current just under $1 trillion annually, spent by the Pentagon that has failed seven consecutive audits.
We can provide enormous tax breaks to our nation’s billionaires.
All the while, we’re sentencing the poorest of the poor to short and painful lives.
The Closing of Rural Hospitals and the Destruction of Individual Health Care in West Virginia
It’s possible that Americans are so angry that the Trump administration has ruined their country and its democracy that paid advertising for Republican candidates is having no effect on them.
We can only hope.
Obviously, the endorsement of a much-despised president didn’t help, but what chance did this election-denying moron actually have in a sophisticated state like Minnesota?
One good thing about having Trump in the White House is that doesn’t have enough sense to hide what a terrible person he is.
We all recall the COVID-19 outbreak, and Trump’s suggestion that we reduce our testing for the disease on the basis that less testing means fewer positive results, which means less outrage on the level of Trump’s ineptitude in handling the epidemic.
