Cuts To Healthcare

[Baron2024]

58 percent of all hospitalizations are paid by Medicare and Medicaid. If those are frozen or cut it is not just the patients that suffer. It is all of the hospital employees as well. Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health Workers, Administration, and Support Staff depend on those Federal payments for their salaries and for the operating costs of the hospital. Hospitals already have problems with finances. Cuts and freezes to those programs will be an economic deathblow to the health care sector.

That is just the tip of the iceberg though. A good part of the economy depends on federal funding. Massive cuts to the federal government will kill the economy. Just wait when you have to go to the hospital and there is no Doctor or Nurse available, only a skeleton crew. And when you get there they may not have the lifesaving medicine that you need because they could not afford to buy and stock the medicine. Costs are going to explode.

1. "it is not just the patients that suffer"

No, and we have to take into account all the families and friends of the people you mentioned who are also suffering. This will eventually impact almost everybody, well, except for the richest people.

2. So far, there are no such cuts. I'm sure trump will find some funds to move around to look like cuts

to appease trumpsters.

But it’s highly unlikely we’ll see cuts to over 100 Million, likely half being trumpsters.
