Critics said Trump’s Medicaid work requirement waivers are a political bomb that damaged Americans’ access to a vital safety net program. It could cost Biden a lot to defuse it.

Scottie, it amazes me in the middle of a pandemic, the former president led efforts to hamstring the health care system. He at least brought attention the drug pricing market, but too little was done after a lot of posturing. Keith

Hello Keith. I have never understood the wanting to keep people from medical care in the first place. Really to me it is the same as wanting to deny someone food who is hungry. I don’t get it. Maybe trying to do it through laws and stuff makes it remote to these people but the effect is the same as if they were standing there blocking them from food or healthcare personally. I posted a very informative video on drug pricing this morning. While I do not support the ACA as the best healthcare solution, it is preferable to people not having affordable access to healthcare. I would prefer a form of Medicare for all single payer universal healthcare system. But as this is the best I can expect to get right now I will gladly support Biden’s plans for expanding Medicaid and other programs. Hugs
