Bethany, a mother of two from Bogalusa, is one of them: her third baby is due on April 4, and Medicaid will cover the whole cost of delivery. Cutting the programme would be a “huge step back for all of us”, she says. “Times are hard — we can’t afford it ourselves right now.”
Bethany, who declined to give her surname because she does not want to publicise her political views, voted for Trump in November. But she says she is surprised at all the talk about curtailing a programme that has become indispensable to her and her family.
EJ Kuiper, chief executive of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System (FMOLHS), which runs the Bogalusa hospital, says more than 40 hospitals in Louisiana are at risk of closing if Medicaid funding is reduced.
Surprised at all the talk about curtailling the program that we spent mo this yelling that they were gonna change? P2025 had this all laid out. If you can’t fucking read it or refused to do so, or refused to listen to media who told you it was going to happen, you deserve the outcome you’re getting. We don’t, but you sure as fuck do.
No wonder they want the DoE gone. The stupider you are, the easier it is to get you to vote for them.
