Remember: when someone says cutting Medicaid will save the government nearly a trillion dollars in a few years, that means nearly a trillion dollars of healthcare won’t make it to people who need it. It’s not like Medicaid recipients are going to go pay out of pocket. Now, those sick folks still get sick, and they eventually wind up in ERs, and every stupid, cruel turn of events along that pathway has costs to us all.

@alisynthesis or just make them buy insurance on the exchanges.
@mcnado yes. with a normal budget
@mcnado (just noticed that you are an actual ER doc. Apologies if you hate the Pitt! I know that, as a musician, I almost always hate shows/movies having to do with music because they come off as ridiculous to me.)
@alisynthesis I don’t dislike The Pitt, I just can’t watch it because it is too real. Literally jumped off the couch and had to leave the room mid-episode. 2020-22 fucked me up a bit.
@mcnado Somebody needs to roll a media cart into Congress and force them to binge seasons 1 and 2 of The Pitt.
