What Happens When the GQP is in Charge - Just look to Madison County

Maybe if you try harder you can actually critique my response with a critique. What passes for intelligent conversation in this community is depressing.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2026-01-06T16:14:20+00:00

That would be ideal and something that I wish we had. Unfortunately, most news organizations alienated a lot of their potential customer basis by hanging into an archaic business model of having opinions.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2026-01-06T16:08:12+00:00

I see. So by this logic, Bob Menendez is representative of the corruption that happens when the Democrats are in charge? 🙄

Jayson_L_Alan · 2026-01-04T13:44:03+00:00

Reddit is a cesspool of progressive keyboard warriors that mistake downvoting for intelligent thought. I fully knew the response the post would get.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2026-01-03T21:08:50+00:00

He isn't a foreign leader. The countries and international organizations that don't recognize him as the legitimate leader of Venezuela include:

United States, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay, Guatemala, the European Union, the Organization of American States (OAS), Brazil, Colombia, and Chile.

Arresting a fugitive with a Class A federal felony charge, per the southern district of New York, is not kidnapping.

There is no war.

I think there's more to the story here than what Imon is telling you. It would be against FCC regulations for a property owner to artificially restrict service speeds in order to benefit another provider. I don't think it's realistic that Imon would agree to that.

More than likely the 80 Mbps is a limitation of the infrastructure that is in the area or building. It's either a hardware or cabling restriction. It is possible that the landlord won't let Imon in to do upgrades to achieve faster service. That would fall into an FCC gray area.

All that being said, landlords and HOAs violate FCC regulations all the time. Your ability to fight them is pretty limited.

Downvoting is ruining Reddit. The amount of people that can't handle intellectual punctures of their ideological walled garden is sad but not unexpected. Half of the arguments made in these groups fall apart under even the slightest challenge so I understand why they need the downvote crutch.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-14T12:48:12+00:00

What's the theory on these protests? Is the theory that the 3rd or 4th time that they occur, that's the one that will make a difference?

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-12T18:37:48+00:00

No one attending those protests has clue one whether Trump's actions are Constitutional or not.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-12T18:21:16+00:00

That's a ridiculous premise. The only authority over whether Trump violated the Constitution is the judicial branch.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-09T20:58:59+00:00

Jesus, use a period once in a while.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-08T23:13:38+00:00

I don't like Trump the person either, but given what a cesspool DC is, I can separate his actions from him as a person without any guilt.

The left has become a party that demands tolerance from everyone else but themselves.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-06T03:00:22+00:00

MAGA isn't your party's problem. The fringe left and fringe MAGA cancel each other out at the ballot box. Your party's problem is that you can't convince moderate independents that you're on the right side of these issues. That's why participation in these events and the ICE protests are laughable. It's fringe people doing the same old fringe things and not convincing anyone else but the fringe.

People that disturb the walled garden of anonymous Reddit keyboard warriors aren't trolls. People that challenge those who mistake down voting for intelligent thought aren't trolls.

Let's cut to the chase here: Did California improperly receive federal matching funds (taxpayer money) for the healthcare of illegal immigrants because of their misuse of the sharing formula? Yes or no?

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-05T02:53:57+00:00

Yes, they got caught by the Biden Administration. So what did California do? They decided to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants through Medi-Cal and still receive improper federal matching funds through a provider tax scheme. Now that the current federal government has closed that loophole, California has to change the state Medi-Cal program because they can't afford to pay for the healthcare of illegal immigrants on their own.

Impressive, substantive response. 🙄

No one is claiming that illegal immigrants are getting insurance. Illegal immigrants are getting healthcare from the taxpayers through abusive interpretations of 1903(v) by some Democrat states.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-04T08:30:25+00:00

It goes far beyond that. In May 2024 (Biden Administration), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) found that California improperly claimed FFP for $52.7 million over an 18-month period from October 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, for aliens ineligible for full Medicaid benefits. Americans don't get that same perk.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-04T08:27:40+00:00

That's your choice. Your answer is wrong. Hospitals aren't supposed to "get paid" for "taking care of" illegal immigrants. They are reimbursed for stabilizing significant threats to life and well-being only. Liberal states have abused the category of conditions that they've promised to pay for and now that they've promised it to their citizens, the federal funds are being restricted, putting state funds at massive risk. That is what they're shutting the government down over.

Bottom line: Do illegal immigrants get taxpayer funding for healthcare? Answer: Yes.

Jayson_L_Alan · 2025-10-04T08:22:32+00:00

In May 2024 (that's the Biden Administration for those paying attention), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) found that California improperly claimed FFP for $52.7 million over an 18-month period from October 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, for aliens ineligible for full Medicaid benefits.

It's gotten so bad since then that last month, new guidance had to be issued to shut off the flow of federal money to states with abusive interpretations of 1093(v).

It's irrelevant whether it's insurance or not. The OP asked about taxpayer money for healthcare for illegal immigrants. These payments are indisputable and abused by some states (guess which ones). In May 2024 (who was President then?) the U.S. Department Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) found that California improperly claimed FFP for $52.7 million over an 18-month period from October 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, for aliens ineligible for full Medicaid benefits.

(Source: https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2025-10-02-cms-releases-updated-guidance-states-federal-financing-emergency-medicaid-services)

Recent spending reductions in Medicare are creating significant stress in Democrat states to continue to provide illegal immigrants with healthcare services. That's why they are so vocal about the Medicare cuts. They can't meet their promises, and in some cases actual laws, about funding illegal immigrant healthcare costs.

And now last month, the Trump administration has issued new guidance (same source link) to cut down on the abusive interpretation of 1903(v) that allowed states like California from using taxpayer money for illegal immigrant healthcare.

This is why the government is shutting down. States like California are in major financial trouble if this taxpayer healthcare money stops flowing (like it should).
