    Having to pay, to give birth, sounds shocking to some if not even many civilized countries

    Technically you don't have to. People have been having children since at least the 1500s, and they didn't have medicade. There is nothing illegal about simply having a baby.

     Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins laid out the administration’s vision in blunt terms on Tuesday. “There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way,” Rollins told reporters after meeting with Republican governors. “We move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation, which, again, with 34 million people—able-bodied adults on Medicaid—we should be able to do that fairly quickly.”

    Slimey piece of dog shit.

    All of those “able bodied adults” on Medicaid will of course be able to do farm labor.

    Just like my younger sibling, who has a genetic disorder with scoliosis that makes him look like Quasimodo and had three open heart surgeries before the age of 18.

    Wait a minute, if we cut this and birth rate falls, economy also falls because lower population usually leads to smaller growth in economy. Now if we deport hardworking immigrants, it will also be worse off for the economy.

    What's the goal here? Make things worse?

    Yes. Rich people make bigger gains when the economy crashes. They can buy up assets for cheap. Look at all those 'record breaking profits' made during COVID.

    It is actually how the system works, just on steroids. Capitalism has the innate tendency for monopolization. At the end, the whole world will belong to one person and that person will rule everything. its just totalitarianism with extra steps.

    This article doesn't even touch on the fact that Planned Parenthood can no longer take Medicaid because of this budget bill.

    Healthcare being free and available, the fact that this confuses you so much means you are definitely too far gone and probably some Republican

    seems like an uncapitalistic system. what's next, giving away food to children? letting people use roads for free? Who decides what healthcare the person recives if not their own wallet?

    But they are cutting the subsidy for creating more poor people. If they benefited from poor people existing they wouldn't do that.

    Yep. It's all about breeding anyone out of the gene pool whose families are in a position to resist the ruling class.

    There will be 2 kinds of people in the future: the haves, and the have-nots. Just like in the past.

    We only have ourselves to blame. For decades now, we've been fighting the people who fight back instead of just simply fighting back (or doing nothing). That kind of cuck-behavior catches up with us, and now it's too late to change course.

    Was. It was. Well I mean it will be till next year then instead we will have lots of uninsured births and I assume a huge uptick in unskilled at home births and a huge uptick in dead babies. MAGA and MAHA indeed.

    All three of my children were born due to Medicaid. No way would I have afforded even one of my children births. My youngest is 16 and without Medicaid guess I will pay out of pocket for his healthcare.

    So what you are telling me is that if we cut it we'll have fewer poors?

    I always point out that the capitalist robber barons profit directly from having a pre-born, pre-literate workforce pool, they just want it for free.

    Part of their whole socialism for costs capitalism for profits thing.

    At least if it does come down to civil war the conservatives would already have destroyed their communities.

    "We must be blessed because Gawd took that one too!" Fucking idiots.
