BREAKING: House Democrats introduced a bill that would limit U.S. Supreme Court Justices to 18-year terms. If passed, Clarance Thomas would be forced into retirement.
ok I'm about to overshare, because this one hits so close to home. this is extremely ominous. I'm on medicaid, and rely on it for all of my medications, which I would not even come close to being able to afford. I've gone through so much in the past decade, dealing with mental health issues, suicide attempts, and addiction, and I'm finally to a point of being stable and sober after nearly two decades: I was an addict for 19 years who also deals with major depressive disorder and two debilitating anxiety disorders, along with other physical disabilities that prevent me from working full time. for the first time, I'm 18 months sober, have my own apartment, reaching something akin to contentment. which is unheard of for me. the medications are *absolutely integral* to my continuing recovery and managing mental health symptoms. this fills me with apprehension and abject dread.. I've been trying to avoid this issue because of the anxiety it induces. I cannot believe this could really happen. it's just... unconscionable. I don't know what I'm going to do. other than hope it doesn't happen. but it seems more and more like a reality. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm really scared, so I do not care if you make fun of me. this is actually serious for me. it's literally a life or death issue. if you read this far, thank you.
I am in same boat as u except for the addic part but I have disability and my medication us an integral part of my managing my disability to and u only work part time as well and u been stable for 14 + yrs and I to am anxious to
@@sherlsensors3608 yes, this could affect literally a fifth of the country. the prosection has a very weak case, but some of the judges have already come out in support of their arguments. I read that "no rational minded judge could possibly accept these arguments," which doesn't make me feel any better because 2/3 of the court have demonstrated they are the diametric opposite of rational.
I am TOTALLY expecting the SCOTUS to rule that vaccines are unconstitutional thereby the anti-vax law makers making them illegal in there states. Imagine what could happen then 😬🤐
I'm a nurse at an old age home and it is absolutely unethical to use a chemical restraint simply because you're inconvenienced. Whoever prescribed and administered those drugs should never work in this field again.
As a trans person who received both hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery, having medicaid be gutted would in more ways than one end my life. Most insurances don't cover lgbtq medical issues, and I would much rather be dead than to live in the wrong body any further. For most conservatives and bigots, that's music to their ears but I personally think it's sad that I have to rely on the whims of others to decide what I can and can't do with my body based on my financial means. 🙃 personally I think affordable healthcare should be a guaranteed right to everyone but apparently that makes me a radical terrorist. Guess I'm lucky I live in a deep blue state 💙
I have Medicaid in Maryland. I had two heart attacks and have a whole lot of other health issues. Who knows what my life would be now if I lost my Medicaid. I am so over the the Republican Supreme Court justices.
Marylander here as well. Raised a Republican but after they lied to get us into a war, lie about who the tax cuts would benefit, lied about who'd pay for the wall, lied about covid... I'm no longer a Republiclown
By the way those politicians who are retired, end their service and retiring. Since Supreme Court cutting our social security , Medicare and Medicaid can the Supreme Court cut the money they are getting from me and all the rest of Americans .
While they cut our social security, and Medicaid these politicians , are enjoying their retirement collecting money coming from us . They should cut their benefits too
I'm 59, disabled, but they only gave me SSI {not SSD} and Medicaid. Without Medicaid, I have no health insurance whilst being disabled. That is just fact. I worked my entire life, since 8 yrs old, until my accident at age 45.
We need Medicare For All here in the U.S., especially during this time with the Coronavirus pandemic! What's more "pro-life" than ensuring that every person living here has guaranteed affordable healthcare regardless of their job? If we all had access to basic healthcare, we would have the "freedom" to live long lives and rarely have to worry about medical bankruptcies. Taxes will go up, but the overall costs will go down. If some of us need additional healthcare than Medicare, then we have the "choice" to get additional insurance. If every other developed country (Canada, Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Japan, S.K., H.K., Singapore, Australia, and N.Z.) can implement this system and save money, then why can't we do the same and help "Make America Great Again" for everybody at least on the issue of healthcare? If American citizens die from lacking access to affordable health insurance then we are failing our country's promise of defending "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" for its citizens as well as "promoting the general welfare" of everyone living here.
Years ago I worked in the Senior's Medicare market. I tell people all the time that they need to get a life and health insurance license. Then go work in the field for 6 months to a year. You will see the world through different eyes when you are done. When you are sitting there across the coffee table from a person going on Medicare, who hasn't had health insurance for well over a decade, and you see the relief just wash over them, now that they can afford medical attention, you'll never forget it. In Texas back in 2012, Rick Perry, Gregg Abbott, Joe Barton and three other Republicans said "NO!" to expanding Medicaid in Texas by an additional 10$ BILLION DOLLARS. That year, the Medicaid budget in Texas was around 38 $ Billion dollars. That means in 2012 alone, there were enough people in Texas to warrant a Medicaid budget of $48 BILLION DOLLARS. And since that time it has only GROWN. And Texas is near, if not the bottom of all states when it comes to Health Care. Those abortions that the GOP Federalist Society Conservative Catholic controlled US Supreme Court ended, well now, a lot of those babies, and their mothers need Medicaid to get by. And if that baby, with a birth defect, needs medical help, IT AIN'T THERE. So, what are you all going to do now? Going to say, "The Churches are the best ones to handle it and we'll give them all YOUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS TO DEAL WITH IT!" Oh. Goodies. Pat Robertson is in charge of my health care. Now let that sink in people. Let that sink in. And oh, as for old Pat Robertson. A few years ago he wanted to divorce his wife because she had Alzheimer's. And he said, "in the bible is says she is dead..." You want to know the real reason he wanted to divorce her? She'd be off the family books. She had nothing. So she'd be put on Medicaid and old Pat's would save TONS OF MONEY. None of his MILLIONS would be touched. Now. Ain't that "Christian?"
I firmly believe that we need to implement a sick leave as well as maternity and paternity leave programs for all workers in this country. I personally feel that every time worker in this country regardless of their job should be guaranteed at least 2 weeks of sick leave and 2 weeks vacation per year. In addition to guaranteed sick leave, we also need to allow both mothers and fathers who just had a baby to be guaranteed time off with pay as well, so that way businesses can ensure that their employees at all levels can come into work feeling their best and contributing their best physically and mentally everyday. Finally, I firmly believe that "Working Poor" should not be a thing! If you work full time every week of the year, you shouldn't be living at or below the poverty line in this country! Hence why I feel there should be a Universal basic Income for every American citizen above the age of 16 based on what the poverty level is so that way no one who works full time should have to financially struggle to get by.
Most employers don't care if their workforce are happy or sad. However, IF they would save enough money, the employers MAY ~ MIGHT ~ POSSIBLY "consider" implementing these changes. Probably not though
I like your ideas. Based in experience, everyone needs 3 weeks of paid vacation at a minimum. Also, the guaranteed wage is the minimum wage. We have to get that raised. But, that puts a hardship on small businesses. So, that means people have to be willing to pay more.

What it boils down to is, we need to start naming the individuals who make these decisions that are damaging to other individuals. Instead of saying acme company say the name of the CEO or the manager or whoever is making these decisions that are harming other employees they hide behind corporate names, but if you start naming individuals and you start taking those individuals to court over their actions, this make it corrected.
Most people don't realize how absolutely poor you have to be to receive Medicaid. I make just under 30k a year, barely enough to cover basic cost of living. Absolutely no room for health insurance. I would have to make less than 14k a year to qualify. I've been without healthcare for the majority of my adult life. I'm 42. I had a job that offered it but it would have cost me over half my salary.
Medicaid isn't another type of heath care policy. Saying you can't get Medicaid is like complaining you can't get into public housing project buildings
They have to keep working people off medicaid so they won't know that there is a better cheaper hc option. You must pay some greedy hucksters or die, that's the republican choice.
Most of my family are retired and on Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare. All of them are conservatives. Honestly I'm waiting to see if this goes south so I can tell them the conservative SCOTUS judges voted to screw them over.
For future reference, you need to educate yourself about the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. This video is about Medicaid. Medicare is for adults 65 yo and older.
@@patevans3709 I do know the difference. However If the SCOTUS votes to to gut Medicaid, they won't there. They'll more than likely go after Medicare as well.
The way you Americans treat your poor and disadvantaged is appalling. Are the rich and powerful in your country hoping to create a nation of serfs to serve them.

This is horrible. Some people have no money to pay this. I am middle class and I would rather my tax money help the poor and nor the wealthy. Just wrong.
Medicaid saved my life. I was uninsured for 14 years and in my mid 50s when I learned that I was eligible for Medicaid. I wasn’t looking for government hand-outs and didn’t even know there were benefits available, so I read up on herbal remedies (which work ok for minor ailments), grew organic vegetables, and lived within my small means. Then Obamacare came along, which I thought was going to force me to buy insurance that I couldn’t possibly afford. Low and behold, I was eligible for Medicaid. I saw a dentist, had my high blood pressure diagnosed and controlled, and had my first gyn checkup since my youngest child was born 25+ years before. Darned if I didn’t have endometrial cancer. Stage Ib, grade 2. Most patients are cured by surgery alone at that stage, but some recur, as I did. I’ve been stable at stage IVb for the past four years. I live on Social Security and am insured by Medicare (which my late husband and I paid into our entire adult lives) with a Medicaid “boooster,” so to speak. Sorry this is so long, but for too many people these issues are abstractions, and I wanted to explain how real people need these programs.
First abortion, then affirmative action, now this maybe if people keep losing their rights they’ll learn to start taking this situation more seriously.
I worked for DFS in Missouri for many years. We had time frames to do each type of application. If the State wide average did not stay at a certain rate we got a warning from the Feds, If we did not bring that rate up we lost funding, The Republican Governors were always cutting staff, over time hours and anything that helped us get our work done. We lost MILLIONS in fine money because the Republicans left us with no staff and an ever increasing case load! Then they want to blame the Democrats for wasting money!
It's wild to me how some Republicans on Medicaid are so quick to vote for gutting it. Like... it'll affect you too homie, not just the libs y'all hate so much.
Yeah but FOX news isn't telling them that!! Fox is saying the Dems are cutting SS and Medicaid/care. Sadly my mom is one of those people mesmerized by the lies of FOX news. Totally believes false reports.....i.e. alternative facts AKA Bullshit
Absolutely AGREE! Not until we have enough in congress to pass democratic plans will this ever happen. Will the repugs win big in November? What will we do if they take over??? I'm terrified.
Great so right after I start getting help for both my kids who have special needs (autism, adhd) it’s gonna be taken away. I can’t pay it out of pocket 😢
I'm so sorry for u !!! I am a chronic sick person myself after a Lyme infection !! For the last 10 years my life changed and I was in and our of hospital and true the years I had many scans and medications. Living in a country with universel healthcare . No bills and many benefits for a wheelchair a scooter and I got help for in the house for cleaning and also a healthcare worker coming at home to help me going to hospital or other things to go to . I feel blessed and I can't imagine how scary life most be for you and your children . !!! We are sickened by the american greedy system .!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🇳🇱🇳🇱
They end Medicare and SS they will see much misery in their jobs. Funding has already been cut for physical therapy. Advocate patients get less time with group therapy. Florida Medicaid and Medicare is terrible. They gave me two drugs and medical problems I didnt need or want in rehab. Most the country don't approve but they do it anyway. Court is paid off.
I had a birth defect that required opened heart surgery to fix which cost around 3/4 of a million dollars but have not been able to get any mainstream insurance at all whether because they denied anyone with preexisting conditions (up till Obama Care) or it being way too expensive since (because FL didn't adopt the Medicaid Expansion) roughly 2.1K a month and a 10k deductible on average for any plan worth it and believe it or not they wouldn't even cover meds. They eventually gave me less than a year to live without the surgery so they offered me the 'city plan' which paid for it in full but there was a catch... I had to sign away any and every option to sue if things didn't go right or it led to future issues. Also, I had to let a student do the operation (accompanied by the instructor of course). On one hand it was a God send being able to have the surgery which saved my life but at the same time it's scary because I do have issues that have debilitated my life somewhat and they just keep putting me on more and more meds to counter the problem which leads to even more meds to fight certain side effects those meds have. It's better than being dead but I wonder what my 60s will be like when I won't have family support anymore to help me though this especially if they get rid of Medicaid all together... How it worked was for 4+ years before I had the surgery and because I wasn't able to get insurance, my health was deteriorating and all the doctors told me to just manage it till it gets bad enough so the local hospital had to take me in and perform the surgery. You could imagine the stress and anxiety that would cause, every heart skip would send you into a panic attack which felt like a heart attack but, instead of helping you they just put you on meds like Xanax or Valium to combat the panic attacks... So much so when I was able to get the surgery I had to go through withdrawals in the hospital before they could do the surgery. I know I'm not the only person going through this, doctors and nurses told me while in the hospital many other stories of people in similar situations. And, I'm not looking for sympathy or what have you... I want each and every one that votes against Medicare for all or social safety nets to read this and see how it affects people and to maybe have some empathy for their fellow citizens and neighbors. Yeah, gov programs as they're run currently suck for the most part but they still save lives. They need to be overhauled to run more efficiently, cover more not less people and overall be a better experience for people in need of them because as anyone that's gone through these systems knows how hard it is to get on them and once on sees just how underfunded and terribly run, they are. For instance, they are still run on COBAL in FL, that language hasn't been used since the 90s and made it nearly impossible to even get COVID relief during the pandemic. They were running ads to entice people out of retirement to come and help fix the mess. When you call up to even make a doctor's appointment (even now) you have to wait for 10s of mins and when you finally are transferred, you're hung up on by the phone system and forced to keep going through the process until eventually you're connected. Give people dignity and the comfort of not feeling left out. Because after nearly 30 years of health issues and feeling cast aside you become jaded, hateful and overall, mentally unfit and that's not a way to live a life no matter where you come from and what your circumstances are... This country needs to make healthcare a right because you cannot sit here and blame people for their situation after the situation was caused by something like not being able to get the healthcare needed to become or stay a valuable member of society. The reason I had to wait till I was 50 to get the surgery was because they denied me any coverage since I left my dad's plan at 25 because of the heart condition. The entertainment industry (I'm a artist/animator) only hired me as a freelancer or independant contractor for my entire career which meant no OT (we would work on average 70 hours a week), a non consistant workload (you might be off for months inbetween gigs (sometimes you needed it because of the prior gigs workload)) and unfortunately no insurance. Infact, 2 companies used the promise of healthcare to get me to work at a reduced rate in what they called a "trial basis" for 8 weeks in one case (the length of the project) and 6 months in another only to let you go anyway... All this needs to change. I know this was nearly a novel length and I appreciate anyone making it through that... Please spread the word and help people that are in need.

The nursing homes are not supposed to use drugs as a restraint. There are many nursing home that abuse this rule. But at the same time there are some violent patients that do need a senative to restraint a patient. It needs to be proved that this patient needed to be restrained .

I'm so glad I live in Canada. Although not perfect, I have seen medicine change lives for the better - glad it's not a fight to have access/coverage to these prescription drugs. Here, the lawsuits would be hard to prove. It is our responsibility to keep confused/dementia/delerious patients from hurting themselves or others - medication is a big tool
Except this video analogy was put together by mentally dysfunctional people who do not represent the views of sane Americans. Not even Democrats believe any of this garbage is true. It's just a current supreme court case that has the name Medicaid in it
@@carbon357 Me too. I don't understand how Americans want politicians interfering with their doctors and their rights to bodily autonomy. I was taught America was founded because people did not want religion involved in politics. Follow the religion you want, but don't try to make it mandatory and nationwide.
@@carbon357 Roe v Wade was based on a medical abortion issue and not a contraceptive issue or rape victims remedies, etc... Due to modern medical science, it's been found that an unborn has a better chance of survival out the of a woman and in an incubator. The complications of child birth are also lower, leaving little room for arguing to terminate a pregnancy. Roe V Wade basically said the government can't deny a woman the liberty to terminate an unborn that won't develop to a human being. People took this to mean that they were not carrying a human and need not to carry a pregnancy full term. Roughly, an incubator baby can survive at 6 months out side a woman, depending on individual cases, so it would be utterly absurd to terminate a pregnancy and later find out 3 years later that the unborn may have lived, adding Pediatrics medicine, etc.. of the abortions 3 years ago. In that sense, the state does have the right to protect human life. Roe v Wade never had anything much to do with the mother's reproductive rights and since females/girls are born the same way as any other human/boys, it's not a woman's right issue either. Plus the ruling was more complex than what these dumb people have to say, so the alternative wouldn't have been much different. With medical science facts, etc... Roe v Wade still would not have remained the same as the 1970s rulings. Currently, no state can actually allow an abortion past 24 weeks. After the 24th week, a doctor may only terminate the pregnancy for serious medical reasons, which is more rare due to medical science. It's highly unlikely that abortionist would have been able to strike that down, since medical science moves forward and not backwards. It would have only been a matter of time before the other Justices were convinced that Roe v Wade must be repealed
Right at this point medicaid is the only healthcare I have to pay for my Dr appt, blood pressure med, and antidepressants. I am hoping to get a job shortly, but without this short time help, I very well could be dead...
This is so insane man. We shouldn't even have to pay for Healthcare in the first place but now poor people pretty much get zero Healthcare at all. What about the children? It's not their fault their parents are poor. Should they be punished for that? Should they get sick and not be allowed treatment because they can't afford it?
Very good point. Aren't they so concerned with the children a woman MUST give birth to her RAPIST'S BABY and endure literal SLAVERY and TORTURE with government forced birth? Isn't it AbOuT tHe cHIlD?? Nope, cause not a dime goes to help raise an innocent, precious little boy after he's born. And now they'll let him DIE if he has health issues after he's born, too.
That's the psychotic thing. They will cut the hand that feeds them right off just to spite the left..... They will revel in the glory of we stuck it to them before taking a long time to realize.... oh shit that means us too.
I don’t know how anyone can afford $100/mo Yes there are cheap tiered insurance, but doesn’t cover anything and would be paying most things, which are also unaffordable, out of pocket
My father had Alzheimers & had to be put in a home when my mom had pneumonia. Because the home didn't feel like dealing with his disease they decided to give him sedation drugs that they knew would make his Alzheimers advance more rapidly! He died about 2 months later in the home. Unfortunately my mom doesn't care what they did because she thinks he's better off dead than having to deal with him being sick!
They have no plans, ideas or policies that help people other than the rich. The fact that so many Americans ….1/2 the country vote against their own interest is mind blowing.
I was diagnosed with lupus this October. I was undiagnosed for at least three years and unable to work. I also had a staph invention last year which required three surgeries (including one which removed three bones from my chest). Later this August I had carpal and cupital tunnel releases. All of this I couldn’t afford and Medicaid paid for. I would be dead otherwise. I can’t tell you how ineffective our government is protecting people like me. This just seems par for the course.
OH SOOO THEY WILL WAIT TIL ELECTIONS ARE OVER!!! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT THIR MUCH SOON THEN THIS!!! VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE!!!!!!
This isn't just about medicaid but this could be applied to ANY federal funding for state programs in the future no? For instance my son gets special educational funding and protections from the IDEA Act but the key is that state education departments have to abide by specific rules. I could see this precedent being used to deny disable communities fair and appropriate education let alone other disadvantaged communities in different programs.
Oh please, the Medicare program is well aware that medications are given as chemical restraints not just in a traditional psychiatric setting, but mostly in long-term care settings. The average rate of schizophrenia in the public is around 1 and 120, and the average rate of psychotropics (medications for this type of illness or psychosis). Given to patients in a long-term care facility setting are about 1 in 9. It makes sense not to have the patient sue Medicaid but the facility or physician / nurse practitioner that knowingly prescribe the medication. As a registered nurse who worked in a dementia Ward for years as the charge nurse so many times a patient would go on to hospice and as soon as we took them off all their meds they got better. Some patients would have a change in behavior, because after they had been running around the halls, not necessarily disruptive but causing more work for the staff, they would put them on medications to calm them down, and even in low doses because they cannot always metabolize drugs because of decreased organ functioning, some would turn lethargic, and often progression of dementia would be blamed. A lot of the other staff didn't like me because they said I made more work. In a different facility where I was the charge nurse of a different dementia Ward, I started a program which increased the monitoring of all patients who are prescribed psychotropics. That way we were able to catch any adverse reactions that they may experience. Facilities shouldn't lose funding nor should States because of one physicians error, it doesn't seem right to punish everyone. However patients on psychotropics generally are monitored by Medicare, increasing funding to Medicare to make sure patients are receiving appropriate treatment and oversight is given to particular meds seems like a more reasonable solution. Of course patient to staff ratios are ridiculous, some nights I would have up to 80 patients and be the one nurse for them, my assumption is the workload for people charged with oversight of funding disbursements would leave room for error. Perhaps having better staffing ratios, both direct support staff as well as nurses would decrease the amount of psychotropics prescribed. Most people don't realize that these types of staff nurses and direct support or CNAs and medical technicians are all covered in room and board. The way insurance works is that we literally pay for illness and that you have to have a certain illness so insurance companies will reimburse you.
The other side of this is what would happen if the state wins... what would happen to patients in their care? How would it allow them to abuse patients if they are not able to sue if they have basically been abused.
To be accepted into a state run nursing home the patient can't own anything of value. A home or car is off the table. So yes, the state takes whatever you have and keeps it to pay for your stay in their rundown dirty unsafe understaffed pitiful place to die. We treat our parents like garbage and it's sad.
@@montamiddleton9318 Medicaid expansion to treat survivable ills was denied by red states even though 90% was Fed funded. 125,000 red state Medicaid patients died between 2013-2015 that would've survived in Blue States because they are entitlement moochers and need to be put down.

The feds need to police their own regulations rather than relying on private citizens to do their jobs. They can levy fines on any states or private parties that violate their regulations.
Depriving the citizen of the right to litigation would in my view be extremely bad - but I don’t see how that would prevent the Federal government from being a plaintiff. That the parties to a contract have legal recourse to enforce it seems as fundamental a principle as there is.
The federal government isn't a plaintiff. Marion County Public Health Department of Indianapolis is appealing a federal court decision in the Supreme Court. Neither parties are from the federal government ie it's Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County v. Talevski
The Federal government, in disbursement of Medicaid funds, is unequivocally a party to the contract governing the use of those funds. This seems patently obvious. What am I missing?
There has got to be a legislative fix while Democrats are in control- there has got to be a few decent Republicans in the House that can be grabbed into helping. Democracy dies in darkness - your show is great at spreading light over the GOP’s darkness and evil plans
If SCOTUS sides with the defense on this issue - that people can't sue to enforce Medicare rules - then started like Texas shouldn't be allowed to let people sure to enforce state rules regarding abortions.
The Supreme court Justices should reflect on the day when they will become elderly...I hope that they are treated the same way ! This was done to my father as well & he wasn't psychotic at all ! He was given Risperdol ...which is a anti psychotic drug ! The Chief Justice & Clarence Thomas are Senior Citizens ! What about the elderly ? ..
Yes, everyone on the ward gets an enama on enema day If they need one or not. Everyone gets a knockout pill if one patient is unruly. The state run nursing home's haven't changed since the 60s. I never showed my butt more than when my husband was isnone of these places. Thankfully he stayed just 30 days for rehab and then I brought him home. I must add he was on Medicare not medicaid. The nursing home was the only place with a bed avaliable. If you are able to visit your loved one at a facility like this I highly recommend it. And visit at different times in the day so the staff won't expect you. Get to know the staff, be receptful and helpful. It's a hard job but do speak up if you need to.
As bad as this solution may initially sound it could be worthwhile to split the u.s. up. Offer each and every individual a choice of where to go and that be the end of it. Pulling the country together seems impossible so why force it.

This sounds like a Economic Disaster for our country and will probably create a healthcare crisis.

I'm a nurse at an old age home and it is absolutely unethical to use a chemical restraint simply because you're inconvenienced. Whoever prescribed and administered those drugs should never work in this field again.

Most insurances don't cover lgbtq medical issues, and I would much rather be dead than to live in the wrong body any further. For most conservatives and bigots, that's music to their ears but I personally think it's sad that I have to rely on the whims of others to decide what I can and can't do with my body based on my financial means. 🙃 personally I think affordable healthcare should be a guaranteed right to everyone but apparently that makes me a radical terrorist.

I have Medicaid in Maryland. I had two heart attacks and have a whole lot of other health issues. Who knows what my life would be now if I lost my Medicaid. I am so over the the Republican Supreme Court justices.
Marylander here as well. Raised a Republican but after they lied to get us into a war, lie about who the tax cuts would benefit, lied about who'd pay for the wall, lied about covid... I'm no longer a Republiclown
A lot of poor old Republican rely on Medicaid but vote against their own best interest. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.
Please vote blue or your grandparents and parents might be moving in with you! If they cut Medicare and social security, this country will be screwed
Completely and Totally screwed beyond repair!
Unless you have been there you may not know that many poor elderly people go on Medicaid to pay for all kinds dementia care.
Nothing would fill the lifetime protected SCOTUS
Sociopaths like Alito and Thomas with greater Joy!
By the way those politicians who are retired, end their service and retiring. Since Supreme Court cutting our social security , Medicare and Medicaid can the Supreme Court cut the money they are getting from me and all the rest of Americans .
While they cut our social security, and Medicaid these politicians , are enjoying their retirement collecting money coming from us . They should cut their benefits too
This supreme court has a particular hard-on for taking away the rights of the individual to sue the government.
I don't want to live in an oligarchy. I am scared for our country.
I'm 59, disabled, but they only gave me SSI {not SSD} and Medicaid. Without Medicaid, I have no health insurance whilst being disabled. That is just fact. I worked my entire life, since 8 yrs old, until my accident at age 45.

Sorry Judi! We are voting and fighting for you!
We need Medicare For All here in the U.S., especially during this time with the Coronavirus pandemic!
What's more "pro-life" than ensuring that every person living here has guaranteed affordable healthcare regardless of their job?
If we all had access to basic healthcare, we would have the "freedom" to live long lives and rarely have to worry about medical bankruptcies.
Taxes will go up, but the overall costs will go down.
If some of us need additional healthcare than Medicare, then we have the "choice" to get additional insurance.
If every other developed country (Canada, Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Japan, S.K., H.K., Singapore, Australia, and N.Z.) can implement this system and save money, then why can't we do the same and help "Make America Great Again" for everybody at least on the issue of healthcare?
If American citizens die from lacking access to affordable health insurance then we are failing our country's promise of defending "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" for its citizens as well as "promoting the general welfare" of everyone living here.
No way. liberals will just let the illegals on it and our taxes will go crazy. I believe in a merit system.
Years ago I worked in the Senior's Medicare market.
I tell people all the time that they need to get a life and health insurance license.
Then go work in the field for 6 months to a year.
You will see the world through different eyes when you are done.
When you are sitting there across the coffee table from a person going on Medicare, who hasn't had health insurance for well over a decade, and you see the relief just wash over them, now that they can afford medical attention, you'll never forget it.
In Texas back in 2012, Rick Perry, Gregg Abbott, Joe Barton and three other Republicans said "NO!" to expanding Medicaid in Texas by an additional 10$ BILLION DOLLARS.
That year, the Medicaid budget in Texas was around 38 $ Billion dollars. That means in 2012 alone, there were enough people in Texas to warrant a Medicaid budget of $48 BILLION DOLLARS.
And since that time it has only GROWN.
And Texas is near, if not the bottom of all states when it comes to Health Care.
Those abortions that the GOP Federalist Society Conservative Catholic controlled US Supreme Court ended, well now, a lot of those babies, and their mothers need Medicaid to get by.
And if that baby, with a birth defect, needs medical help, IT AIN'T THERE.
So, what are you all going to do now?
Going to say, "The Churches are the best ones to handle it and we'll give them all YOUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS TO DEAL WITH IT!"
Oh. Goodies. Pat Robertson is in charge of my health care.
Now let that sink in people.
Let that sink in.
And oh, as for old Pat Robertson. A few years ago he wanted to divorce his wife because she had Alzheimer's. And he said, "in the bible is says she is dead..."
You want to know the real reason he wanted to divorce her?
She'd be off the family books.
She had nothing.
So she'd be put on Medicaid and old Pat's would save TONS OF MONEY.
None of his MILLIONS would be touched.
Now. Ain't that "Christian?"
I firmly believe that we need to implement a sick leave as well as maternity and paternity leave programs for all workers in this country. I personally feel that every time worker in this country regardless of their job should be guaranteed at least 2 weeks of sick leave and 2 weeks vacation per year. In addition to guaranteed sick leave, we also need to allow both mothers and fathers who just had a baby to be guaranteed time off with pay as well, so that way businesses can ensure that their employees at all levels can come into work feeling their best and contributing their best physically and mentally everyday.
Finally, I firmly believe that "Working Poor" should not be a thing! If you work full time every week of the year, you shouldn't be living at or below the poverty line in this country! Hence why I feel there should be a Universal basic Income for every American citizen above the age of 16 based on what the poverty level is so that way no one who works full time should have to financially struggle to get by.
Most employers don't care if their workforce are happy or sad. However, IF they would save enough money, the employers MAY ~ MIGHT ~ POSSIBLY "consider" implementing these changes. Probably not though
I like your ideas. Based in experience, everyone needs 3 weeks of paid vacation at a minimum. Also, the guaranteed wage is the minimum wage. We have to get that raised. But, that puts a hardship on small businesses. So, that means people have to be willing to pay more.
If democrats want a system like that then you pay for it. just don't force it on people who don't want it.

What it boils down to is, we need to start naming the individuals who make these decisions that are damaging to other individuals. Instead of saying acme company say the name of the CEO or the manager or whoever is making these decisions that are harming other employees they hide behind corporate names, but if you start naming individuals and you start taking those individuals to court over their actions, this make it corrected.
Fiest Medicaid, THEN Medicare, and then FINALLY Social Security.
Then suffrage.
Most people don't realize how absolutely poor you have to be to receive Medicaid. I make just under 30k a year, barely enough to cover basic cost of living. Absolutely no room for health insurance. I would have to make less than 14k a year to qualify.
I've been without healthcare for the majority of my adult life. I'm 42. I had a job that offered it but it would have cost me over half my salary.
Medicaid isn't another type of heath care policy. Saying you can't get Medicaid is like complaining you can't get into public housing project buildings
They have to keep working people off medicaid so they won't know that there is a better cheaper hc option. You must pay some greedy hucksters or die, that's the republican choice.
How many times do I have to say the poor class is the slave class of the USA.
I’d be screwed if they do. Literally. I’ll be dead in about a year without Medicaid. Thankfully I live in CA where they actually do care about us.
Most of my family are retired and on Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare. All of them are conservatives. Honestly I'm waiting to see if this goes south so I can tell them the conservative SCOTUS judges voted to screw them over.
For future reference, you need to educate yourself about the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. This video is about Medicaid. Medicare is for adults 65 yo and older.
@@patevans3709 I do know the difference. However If the SCOTUS votes to to gut Medicaid, they won't there. They'll more than likely go after Medicare as well.

This is horrible. Some people have no money to pay this. I am middle class and I would rather my tax money help the poor and nor the wealthy. Just wrong.
Medicaid saved my life. I was uninsured for 14 years and in my mid 50s when I learned that I was eligible for Medicaid. I wasn’t looking for government hand-outs and didn’t even know there were benefits available, so I read up on herbal remedies (which work ok for minor ailments), grew organic vegetables, and lived within my small means. Then Obamacare came along, which I thought was going to force me to buy insurance that I couldn’t possibly afford. Low and behold, I was eligible for Medicaid. I saw a dentist, had my high blood pressure diagnosed and controlled, and had my first gyn checkup since my youngest child was born 25+ years before. Darned if I didn’t have endometrial cancer. Stage Ib, grade 2. Most patients are cured by surgery alone at that stage, but some recur, as I did. I’ve been stable at stage IVb for the past four years. I live on Social Security and am insured by Medicare (which my late husband and I paid into our entire adult lives) with a Medicaid “boooster,” so to speak. Sorry this is so long, but for too many people these issues are abstractions, and I wanted to explain how real people need these programs.
So...now the we see why McConnell was so desperate to push Supreme Court Justices thru!
How can people vote Republican, they can careless about you!
First abortion, then affirmative action, now this maybe if people keep losing their rights they’ll learn to start taking this situation more seriously.

EXPAND THE COURT
Add More judges to the supreme court and give them term limits.these life term appointment's are bullshit.
I worked for DFS in Missouri for many years. We had time frames to do each type of application. If the State wide average did not stay at a certain rate we got a warning from the Feds, If we did not bring that rate up we lost funding, The Republican Governors were always cutting staff, over time hours and anything that helped us get our work done. We lost MILLIONS in fine money because the Republicans left us with no staff and an ever increasing case load! Then they want to blame the Democrats for wasting money!
It's wild to me how some Republicans on Medicaid are so quick to vote for gutting it. Like... it'll affect you too homie, not just the libs y'all hate so much.
Yeah but FOX news isn't telling them that!! Fox is saying the Dems are cutting SS and Medicaid/care. Sadly my mom is one of those people mesmerized by the lies of FOX news. Totally believes false reports.....i.e. alternative facts AKA Bullshit
Time to change the Supreme Court. Expand the number of justices. Term limits of justices. Limit jurisdiction.
Nah
Absolutely AGREE! Not until we have enough in congress to pass democratic plans will this ever happen. Will the repugs win big in November? What will we do if they take over??? I'm terrified.
Great so right after I start getting help for both my kids who have special needs (autism, adhd) it’s gonna be taken away. I can’t pay it out of pocket 😢

One word:
Facism
All started with citizens united and has trickled down since then
The Supreme Court been making a ton of reckless decisions lately.
That is because they're mostly conservative nutjobs who shouldn't be on the court.

Because they have more partisan Republicans
Thanks for this one Ana and Cenk. Very in depth and informative. Also depressing. I'm voting All Dems tomorrow.
If this happens... I. Will. Die. I am a 43 year old mother of 2 whos health took a drastic turn 7 years ago. If Medicaid is cut... I. Will. Die. 😢💔

I'm so sorry for u !!! I am a chronic sick person myself after a Lyme infection !! For the last 10 years my life changed and I was in and our of hospital and true the years I had many scans and medications. Living in a country with universel healthcare . No bills and many benefits for a wheelchair a scooter and I got help for in the house for cleaning and also a healthcare worker coming at home to help me going to hospital or other things to go to . I feel blessed and I can't imagine how scary life most be for you and your children . !!! We are sickened by the american greedy system .!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🇳🇱🇳🇱
TYT do a show about Florida and Arizona that contains the most retires about what Republicans plan to take away Social Security and Medicare programs.
Good idea. Hope they do.
They end Medicare and SS they will see much misery in their jobs. Funding has already been cut for physical therapy. Advocate patients get less time with group therapy. Florida Medicaid and Medicare is terrible. They gave me two drugs and medical problems I didnt need or want in rehab. Most the country don't approve but they do it anyway. Court is paid off.
I had a birth defect that required opened heart surgery to fix which cost around 3/4 of a million dollars but have not been able to get any mainstream insurance at all whether because they denied anyone with preexisting conditions (up till Obama Care) or it being way too expensive since (because FL didn't adopt the Medicaid Expansion) roughly 2.1K a month and a 10k deductible on average for any plan worth it and believe it or not they wouldn't even cover meds. They eventually gave me less than a year to live without the surgery so they offered me the 'city plan' which paid for it in full but there was a catch... I had to sign away any and every option to sue if things didn't go right or it led to future issues. Also, I had to let a student do the operation (accompanied by the instructor of course).
On one hand it was a God send being able to have the surgery which saved my life but at the same time it's scary because I do have issues that have debilitated my life somewhat and they just keep putting me on more and more meds to counter the problem which leads to even more meds to fight certain side effects those meds have. It's better than being dead but I wonder what my 60s will be like when I won't have family support anymore to help me though this especially if they get rid of Medicaid all together...
How it worked was for 4+ years before I had the surgery and because I wasn't able to get insurance, my health was deteriorating and all the doctors told me to just manage it till it gets bad enough so the local hospital had to take me in and perform the surgery. You could imagine the stress and anxiety that would cause, every heart skip would send you into a panic attack which felt like a heart attack but, instead of helping you they just put you on meds like Xanax or Valium to combat the panic attacks... So much so when I was able to get the surgery I had to go through withdrawals in the hospital before they could do the surgery.
I know I'm not the only person going through this, doctors and nurses told me while in the hospital many other stories of people in similar situations. And, I'm not looking for sympathy or what have you... I want each and every one that votes against Medicare for all or social safety nets to read this and see how it affects people and to maybe have some empathy for their fellow citizens and neighbors.
Yeah, gov programs as they're run currently suck for the most part but they still save lives. They need to be overhauled to run more efficiently, cover more not less people and overall be a better experience for people in need of them because as anyone that's gone through these systems knows how hard it is to get on them and once on sees just how underfunded and terribly run, they are. For instance, they are still run on COBAL in FL, that language hasn't been used since the 90s and made it nearly impossible to even get COVID relief during the pandemic. They were running ads to entice people out of retirement to come and help fix the mess. When you call up to even make a doctor's appointment (even now) you have to wait for 10s of mins and when you finally are transferred, you're hung up on by the phone system and forced to keep going through the process until eventually you're connected.
Give people dignity and the comfort of not feeling left out. Because after nearly 30 years of health issues and feeling cast aside you become jaded, hateful and overall, mentally unfit and that's not a way to live a life no matter where you come from and what your circumstances are...
This country needs to make healthcare a right because you cannot sit here and blame people for their situation after the situation was caused by something like not being able to get the healthcare needed to become or stay a valuable member of society. The reason I had to wait till I was 50 to get the surgery was because they denied me any coverage since I left my dad's plan at 25 because of the heart condition. The entertainment industry (I'm a artist/animator) only hired me as a freelancer or independant contractor for my entire career which meant no OT (we would work on average 70 hours a week), a non consistant workload (you might be off for months inbetween gigs (sometimes you needed it because of the prior gigs workload)) and unfortunately no insurance. Infact, 2 companies used the promise of healthcare to get me to work at a reduced rate in what they called a "trial basis" for 8 weeks in one case (the length of the project) and 6 months in another only to let you go anyway... All this needs to change.
I know this was nearly a novel length and I appreciate anyone making it through that... Please spread the word and help people that are in need.
now I'm definitely depressed

@@carbon357 Me too. I don't understand how Americans want politicians interfering with their doctors and their rights to bodily autonomy. I was taught America was founded because people did not want religion involved in politics. Follow the religion you want, but don't try to make it mandatory and nationwide.
@@carbon357 Roe v Wade was based on a medical abortion issue and not a contraceptive issue or rape victims remedies, etc... Due to modern medical science, it's been found that an unborn has a better chance of survival out the of a woman and in an incubator. The complications of child birth are also lower, leaving little room for arguing to terminate a pregnancy. Roe V Wade basically said the government can't deny a woman the liberty to terminate an unborn that won't develop to a human being. People took this to mean that they were not carrying a human and need not to carry a pregnancy full term. Roughly, an incubator baby can survive at 6 months out side a woman, depending on individual cases, so it would be utterly absurd to terminate a pregnancy and later find out 3 years later that the unborn may have lived, adding Pediatrics medicine, etc.. of the abortions 3 years ago. In that sense, the state does have the right to protect human life. Roe v Wade never had anything much to do with the mother's reproductive rights and since females/girls are born the same way as any other human/boys, it's not a woman's right issue either. Plus the ruling was more complex than what these dumb people have to say, so the alternative wouldn't have been much different. With medical science facts, etc... Roe v Wade still would not have remained the same as the 1970s rulings. Currently, no state can actually allow an abortion past 24 weeks. After the 24th week, a doctor may only terminate the pregnancy for serious medical reasons, which is more rare due to medical science. It's highly unlikely that abortionist would have been able to strike that down, since medical science moves forward and not backwards. It would have only been a matter of time before the other Justices were convinced that Roe v Wade must be repealed

This isn't just about medicaid but this could be applied to ANY federal funding for state programs in the future no? For instance my son gets special educational funding and protections from the IDEA Act but the key is that state education departments have to abide by specific rules. I could see this precedent being used to deny disable communities fair and appropriate education let alone other disadvantaged communities in different programs.
Oh please, the Medicare program is well aware that medications are given as chemical restraints not just in a traditional psychiatric setting, but mostly in long-term care settings. The average rate of schizophrenia in the public is around 1 and 120, and the average rate of psychotropics (medications for this type of illness or psychosis). Given to patients in a long-term care facility setting are about 1 in 9. It makes sense not to have the patient sue Medicaid but the facility or physician / nurse practitioner that knowingly prescribe the medication. As a registered nurse who worked in a dementia Ward for years as the charge nurse so many times a patient would go on to hospice and as soon as we took them off all their meds they got better. Some patients would have a change in behavior, because after they had been running around the halls, not necessarily disruptive but causing more work for the staff, they would put them on medications to calm them down, and even in low doses because they cannot always metabolize drugs because of decreased organ functioning, some would turn lethargic, and often progression of dementia would be blamed. A lot of the other staff didn't like me because they said I made more work. In a different facility where I was the charge nurse of a different dementia Ward, I started a program which increased the monitoring of all patients who are prescribed psychotropics. That way we were able to catch any adverse reactions that they may experience. Facilities shouldn't lose funding nor should States because of one physicians error, it doesn't seem right to punish everyone. However patients on psychotropics generally are monitored by Medicare, increasing funding to Medicare to make sure patients are receiving appropriate treatment and oversight is given to particular meds seems like a more reasonable solution. Of course patient to staff ratios are ridiculous, some nights I would have up to 80 patients and be the one nurse for them, my assumption is the workload for people charged with oversight of funding disbursements would leave room for error. Perhaps having better staffing ratios, both direct support staff as well as nurses would decrease the amount of psychotropics prescribed. Most people don't realize that these types of staff nurses and direct support or CNAs and medical technicians are all covered in room and board. The way insurance works is that we literally pay for illness and that you have to have a certain illness so insurance companies will reimburse you.
This isn't Medicare it's Medicaid! Totally different programs!

Taking care of grandpa and grandma used to be the norm, They moved in to their kids' homes.
To be accepted into a state run nursing home the patient can't own anything of value. A home or car is off the table.

What are the chances that the Supreme Court will go along with the nursing home???
Fantastic content and commentary.
Why should everyone pay because one person or one Hospital made a mistake and it causes everybody chaos that's insane
The judges are using that one example as an excuse to cut fundint
KEYWORD: Insane! The whole Republican/Conservative/Trumpist "Party" is quite simply -
🦇 💩 crazy❗
I’m probably safe because I’m probably safe given that I live in MA but goddamn this is awful. Why do some people have zero empathy for other human beings?
The feds need to police their own regulations rather than relying on private citizens to do their jobs. They can levy fines on any states or private parties that violate their regulations.
Depriving the citizen of the right to litigation would in my view be extremely bad - but I don’t see how that would prevent the Federal government from being a plaintiff. That the parties to a contract have legal recourse to enforce it seems as fundamental a principle as there is.
The federal government isn't a plaintiff. Marion County Public Health Department of Indianapolis is appealing a federal court decision in the Supreme Court. Neither parties are from the federal government ie it's Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County v. Talevski
The Federal government, in disbursement of Medicaid funds, is unequivocally a party to the contract governing the use of those funds. This seems patently obvious. What am I missing?
There has got to be a legislative fix while Democrats are in control- there has got to be a few decent Republicans in the House that can be grabbed into helping. Democracy dies in darkness - your show is great at spreading light over the GOP’s darkness and evil plans
All thanks to Trump!
If SCOTUS sides with the defense on this issue - that people can't sue to enforce Medicare rules - then started like Texas shouldn't be allowed to let people sure to enforce state rules regarding abortions.
The Supreme court Justices should reflect on the day when they will become elderly...I hope that they are treated the same way !
This was done to my father as well & he wasn't psychotic at all !
He was given Risperdol ...which is a anti psychotic drug !
The Chief Justice & Clarence Thomas are Senior Citizens !
What about the elderly ? ..
Have you seen them? Most of them look ancient
Yes, everyone on the ward gets an enama on enema day If they need one or not. Everyone gets a knockout pill if one patient is unruly. The state run nursing home's haven't changed since the 60s. I never showed my butt more than when my husband was isnone of these places. Thankfully he stayed just 30 days for
rehab and then I brought him home. I must add he was on Medicare not medicaid. The nursing home was the only place with a bed avaliable.
If you are able to visit your loved one at a facility like this I highly recommend it. And visit at different times in the day so the staff won't expect you. Get to know the staff, be receptful and helpful. It's a hard job but do speak up if you need to.
This Corporation should face criminal penalties!
If the state is complient charge the people responsible for overseeing this.

Hell why do we need a president or congress?
What kind of checks or balance is this?
🤣🤣
As bad as this solution may initially sound it could be worthwhile to split the u.s. up. Offer each and every individual a choice of where to go and that be the end of it. Pulling the country together seems impossible so why force it.
Science fiction becoming fact!
I just got my hip partially replaced with Medicaid.
Time to break out the guillotines.
I remember getting kicked out of the hospital when my insurance wouldnt save my legs
I remember when my car broke and a laborer bastard won't fix it, because it was out of warranty
What the hell were you paying for? Insurance is a scam.
Remember, these are "Good Christian People" politicians😒
So more people suffer and worst pass away....but these people wouldn't care..."Pay to Live Law"...is what they're constructing..
