So 3 different provider taxes. The solution is Medical For All Act. One payer with one progressive tax where wealthy pay more.

Take some tender time to inform veterans, seniors, employers, state retirement systems, unions, and all persons that Center for Medicare services gives Unitedhealthgroup and many other health insurance corporations approximately $12,000 annually for many individuals. This giveaway will soon increase by 5.O6%.

Cut corporate giveaways not Medicaid

Nobody is talking about how we arrived at this point. Allowing states to tax providers with the result of increasing the flow of money coming from Washington is where we are now. Now more on Medicaid. Let's not forget the original intent of Medicaid, for the poor and disabled. Today there are many on Medicaid who able bodied individuals who can work, and should, to maintain their benefits. Why is it the work requirement was Ok when Bill Clinton was president, passing in Congress with broad support, and now is taboo?

There is a lot wrong with the current Medicaid system. Maybe we should return to the original intent. By the way, there is a provision in the BBB that supports rural hospitals.

Wow! Didn't know that they were taxing the local providers to then pay them through Medicaid. It's like taking money from one pocket to put in the other. Sounds to me that if they cut the Medicaid help then they will no longer tax the providers? May actually save them money. Please make it make sense! And don't get me wrong - Medicare For All is the ultimate solution to all those issues, it will make the system most efficient and fair. But I guess we are nowhere near that in any foreseeable future.

I wonder if the point of all this is some type of population control. Harsh criticism, but what are they thinking, really.?
