The great beautiful bill turns into a great headache for the Republicans. The Senate Republicans are trying to save cost with even higher changes and Medicaid cups than the room. In addition to provoking a rebellion among some Republicans of the Senate that they are trying to compensate with a rural Rinky-Dink Rural Hospital Fund which will do nothing to help people who will lose their health insurance, Democrats have succeeded in marking and defining this legislation as by preventing food and health care to give tax cuts to billionaires.
President Mike Johnson has made many fires for himself by trying to push what is more and more like a condemned legislation, and now he fears that the version of the Senate of this bill can cost the Republicans the Chamber.
Politico reported:
President Mike Johnson warns in private that the Senate Republicans could cost the Republicans at home their majority next year if they are trying to pass through the deep cups of Medicaid in the current version of the Senate, according to three people anonymity to describe the issue.
This comes then that Senator Thom Tillis (RN.C.) warns the GOP senators that these same cuts could become a political albatrossess for the Republicans, just as the Act respecting affordable care was for the Democrats.
“”[Barack] Obama said … “If you like your health care, you can keep it, if you like your doctor, we can keep it”, and yet we have had several million people who lose their health care, “said Senator in cycle on Tuesday.” We say here here [with] Medicaid, we are going to hold people harmless, but we believe that “millions of people could lose coverage.
What Senator Tillis left aside his example of Obamacare is that those who lost their plans did because these plans were garbage that did not comply with minimum cover standards. People who have lost their plans, as well as tens of millions of other Americans who have not lost their plans, were able to obtain a better and more affordable coverage under the ACA.
The republican plan is to throw millions of people from Medicaid and ACA, without option to obtain a better and more affordable coverage.
This is why the Medicaid cuts are an anchor around the neck of the Republicans of the Chamber and the Senate.
It is very clear that the version of the Senate of the bill on tax reductions for the rich cannot adopt the Chamber.
Mike Johnson’s suggestion that Republicans could lose the room because of these cuts is a glimmer of reality, because the nation looks at a political vote itself.
