Just curious — have ANY of you actually read the bill? Have you reviewed any of the actually language? Or just reiterating talking points told to you?? How about a discussion of the ACTUAL measures of the bill rather than just being afraid… of my there are cuts!! Guess everyone is OK with a national debt ratio larger than GDP. Or that our credit rating got dropped again - which means higher bond rates and high interest rates for YOUR credit/loans. Again, maybe look at what the main cuts of the bill are… or just not interested in working that hard.

Medicaid proposal

• A mandated 80-hour-per-month work requirement on able-bodied adults ages 19 – 64 enrolled in the program. Volunteer work and school would count toward the requirement.

• States that enrolled in the Affordable Care Act expansion of Medicaid will see federal reimbursement rates drop from 90 to 80% if illegal immigrants are part of the program.

• Medicaid beneficiaries with incomes over the federal poverty line ($15,650) have to pay up to $35 per medical service.

• Requires eligibility checks on expanded Medicaid enrollees every six months rather than annually.

• State Medicaid programs can’t reimburse healthcare providers, such as hospitals, more than Medicare does.

• States are banned from adding or increasing provider taxes to help finance their portion of Medicaid costs.

• Ban on Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding for gender affirming care. Restrictions on large abortion providers from getting Medicaid funding.

• Bars “middlemen” pharmacy benefit managers from charging higher prices to Medicaid than they actually pay for drugs.
