Tennessee could’ve had 100% of the cost of Medicaid paid for by the federal government for 200,000 people for three years, and at least 90% of the cost covered after that. Instead they decided to screw those people and themselves.
Tennessee actually tried expanding it several times, even adding a $20/month premium...but the state GOP legislature has still refused every time.

February 2015. Failed.
April 2015. Failed.
March 2016. Failed.
September 2017. Failed.
April 2019. Failed.
Oh, and take a wild guess who they blame for their failure to expand Medicaid under Obamacare?

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING...BIG TIME: In light of the recent horrific developments in Georgia, Ohio, Alabama and other GOP-run states, it’s time once again to remember that Republican ignorance of, cruelty about and obsession with all things rape-related has been a thing for decades. 1/
I therefore am once again taking you down memory lane, with a few case studies from the Republican Rape Advisory Chart:

📣 A Really Deep Dive into the updated #MedicareForAmerica bill:
acasignups.net/19/05/02/reall…

#Med4Am #HealthcareForAll
FWIW, here's a handy comparison of the implementation timelines for the #MFA bills vs. the #Med4America bill. Note that BOTH would keep the VA and IHS in place. Aside from which would be mandatory vs. optional, the other big difference is *how* the transition is phased in.
Under #MFA, ~97% of the pop. would be mandatorily transferred over to the new program within 2 or 4 years, regardless of what their current situation is. Under #Med4America, ~55% would be mandatorily transferred over within 5 years; the rest would have the *option* of switching.

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal

A federal judge ruled the #AffordableCareAct--also known as #ACA & #Obamacare--unconstitutional because #GOPTaxBill removed the mandate.
I've written about ACA since it was devised in 2009 & signed in 2010. Here is a thread📌on what the law does & how it impacts you:
1/
Many Americans are confused about what the #ACA is--and this includes Trump and his #HHS Sect #AlexAzar. A vast array of complex #healthcare statutes are covered under the #AffordableCareAct (also known as #ACA & #Obamacare). So here's a primer to inform you on all points.
2/
The #AffordableCareAct is the comprehensive health care reform law enacted in March 2010 (sometimes known as #ACA or #Obamacare). The #ACA is NOT insurance. It is a LAW that stipulates, in part, what insurance companies provide in their #healthcare plans.

65,853,625: Votes @HillaryClinton received in the 2016 election.
62,985,106: Votes @realDonaldTrump received in the 2016 election.

Do you know who has both of them beat? #Medicaid
Over 70,000,000 in the US are Medicaid beneficiaries.
70 million.
#WednesdayWisdom
1/
Yes, many Medicaid beneficiaries are children. But those children have people who love them, who want to see them survive and thrive.
Moms & dads & grandparents & aunts & uncles & teachers.

Medicaid beneficiaries & their loved ones represent almost 1/4 of the US population.
2/
As we've seen with the West Virginia teacher strike, the government is trying to pit us against each other. @RepJoeKennedy is right. There is an ongoing conversation over who is more worthy to receive assistance from the government.
