If you or a family member

[orangecrush]

Are receiving Social Security or Disability, or depend on Medicare or Medicaid for health care (many receiving Medicaid are working poor), is it unreasonable to say that the Republican budget plan is an actual physical attack on you or your family?

The results will manifest in illness or death.

1. Putin gets to kill Americans without firing a shot.

He is loving it.
And the Americans suffer in the process.
He loves that part too.

So do Trump and Musk.

[Martin Eden]

2. Cutting healthcare to fund tax cuts for the rich is Christian thing to do, according to the gospel of Republican Jesus

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a devout Christian, prays for it.

[Moostache]

10. It is all right there in Prroject 202.... err, the Gospel of Donald

And lo did the lord speak unto the masses and tell them; "Woe is thee o'Isreal who doth alloweth for the poor to eat or be cared for, for they are vermin that poison the blood of the lamb and maketh thy sacrifices unclean in the eyes of the Father."

[Martin Eden]

18. Yep. It's all right there in the Republican Bible.

Deluxe Trump edition is for sale, as is the United States government.

No, wait. That's already been sold to Elon Musk for about $300mil. Such a deal!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. The reality is, as many of those receiving such

benefits are Republican. It's not just Democrats. It's the mothers and grandmothers of everyone.

[Golfnbrew]

7. Plenty of Dems, too

We rely on my SS and Medicare, and my wife is on Marketplace.

We are protesting when possible, and watching closely.

[Quakerfriend]

4. Sadly, many will die- perhaps more than during Covid.

I believe that project 2025 also plans to ‘do away’ with employer sponsored health care, as well.

[rubbersole]

5. Cruelty is the point.

And culling all non-billionaires. Stephen Miller's catch phrase - "fuck 'em".

[twodogsbarking]

6. Bankrupt America and stiff all of the creditors. Trump.

[Ford_Prefect]

8. They intend the harm to "others" because they fear them. Anyone who is not part of 'Their' cult, and is not of the

Elite ruling class deserves their scorn and abuse.
It is part of the essential distortion underlying the cult which has been pushed by conservatives, libertarians, and Putin's propaganda machine for decades.
An element they conveniently obscure is that most of the money they are playing with is OUR TAXES which WE are entitled to use according to the Constitution (yet another public resource which 'they' have hijacked). The institutions they malign were chosen by us as services to the Nation duly funded and administered for the benefit of our whole nation.

9. I'm in excellent health when I use my meds,

But I really wouldn't expect to last five years without them.

11. A family member uses Medicaid

She cleans houses 6 days a week but can't afford insurance.

She is diabetic and on heart meds.

Working your fingers to the bone isn't enough for them.

If you get sick, just go ahead and die.

It's cheaper just to replace you.

[travelingthrulife]

25. Too many of the people ruling us have never worked real jobs. They have no idea

how it all works.

There are only several hundred billionaires. We can stomp them.

[dchill]

13. I have that exact thought very often. I believe in medical science.

[dchill]

12. It is reasonable to say ...

...that the Republican PARTY is an actual physical attack on everyone and their families.

[not fooled]

14. That's why control of the military is so important

As Thom Hartmann just pointed out on his show, putin/trump/musk need a military willing to shoot Americans at home to quash dissent when enough people get hurt that the big protests start.

[mucholderthandirt]

15. Yes it is. I paid into all this, it's not a freebie. I gave four years of my life to the military. I've earned every dim

I'm having increasing PTSD about not getting a check for March, or not getting the full amount, or being kicked out of Medicare. I think I'm safe so far for Medicaid, since our Dem governor et. al. seem to not be pushed into changing anything so far.

I grew up very poor, often there was nothing in the cabinets or fridge. Not having food or the means to get it makes me mentally not be in a good place.

[orangecrush]

16. Thanks for the comment.

There are going to be millions of people in a very bad place physically and mentally before long.

[JustAnotherGen]

17. If my mom had not died in June of last year?

I would be choosing violence right now. She was in a good position financially - but her medications and health care ate through her social security each month.

She owned her home and could have lived another 20 years without financial distress if her Social Security had remained.

[orangecrush]

19. Sorry to hear of your Mom passing

Thanks for your comment.

[ChazInAz]

20. My Social Security deposit still hasn't arrived.

It's a week late.
Their call center has a nine hour wait.

[La Coliniere]

21. I believe it is an attack not only on American families,

but single folks, seniors and children in need as well. This so called Christian, Russell Vought, the Director of Management and Budget, along with Eloon and the Slobfather are an unholy trinity of evil who are about to harm a large segment of our fellow countrymen, including my family and friends who depend on government programs for their survival. I will never forgive anyone who enabled this very dangerous situation to occur by voting for this. They were warned and now we all will suffer because of their stupidity, racism and hatred.

[Kaleva]

22. Although on SSDI, Ive had to go back to work part time

It was hard trying to get by on SSDI and a small Veteran's pension alone.

If SS was cut out, I'd end up being no worse then I was before. Not easy but doable.

[BeneteauBum]

23. As I've posted before.....

Consider this a purge of the elderly (like myself) and the general populace that depend on these programs for health care relief. The MAGAts see this as cost cutting we expire.

24. 100% accurate.

Additionally, many will regress re: mental health from lack of care as a result of no maintenance in place for individualized health profiles.
