DanielMore Medicare cuts (the prior cuts were for home health aides), and during a Democratic administration, too.

DanielChurchill got this one right, even if the NHS is under the threat of privatization, imo.

DanielNHS on verge of collapse after 13 years of Tory governments.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/0...e/uk-nhs-crisis.htmlI think I'd be inclined toward constitutional monarchy if it
was were my country.
But I do have a pet peeve about their monarchy (so I don't know).
My pet peeve is the fact that royals bring awareness to society's problems without the power to fix them.
Only the government can fix them and it definitely seems fixated on making them worse.

Daniel https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/1...s-of-people-cut.htmlI suspect this is a feature and not a bug.
A 75% failure rate? The states are reviewing everyone on Medicaid as if they never had it in the first place.
This comprehensive review led to 75% of applicants being too stoopid to fill out paperwork although they weren't too stoopid to fill out the paperwork in the first place whether they were added during Covid or not.
The problem is bad everywhere. It's particularly bad in Florida.

Job well done, ********.

DanielI'm sorry for using a pejorative.
All of these workers were certainly told that Medicare was a government, single-payer system, when they paid dedicated taxes, per the Social Security Act. All of them paid these taxes, their entire working lives, from approximately 18- 65.
The extent to which Medicare has been privatized and is being privatized is surprising and unpleasant news.
The chance of Medicare going in front of the proper Committees, in front of the public, i.e. the usual, historical process of changing it, is pretty much none.
