(6,678 posts)I still do some related work and follow it and Medicare closely. My point is that Ive heard talks of Medicaids demise ever since the 1970s.
Truth of matter is that 67 Million are on Medicare, 20 Million ACA, and 50 Million or so on Medicaid, including half of the children in this country. Doctors and hospitals wont get paid, drug companies, etc. While perverse, the fact a lot of people profit off those plans, means its relatively safe.
Im as confident as I can be there is no way all Republicans will vote against that number of people. And, private insurance companies profit off everyone of those millions, so theyll be lobbying and looking for allies.
The fear that POS trump is instilling in people, including a bunch of fools who voted for him, is criminal. But I dont believe he can do what we fear. Of course, I didnt think he could win in 2016.
Still believe you are relatively safe. Take care.
