SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MEDICAID CUTS

SUPPORT THE CUTS TO MEDICAID

By: Derek Varsalona

I suppose that a lot of my readers are shocked at the headline I just wrote.  As A person on Medicaid, I should be in fear of the cuts that President Trump will make to Medicaid, along with the Republican Governors.  But I am in full support of these cuts to Medicaid.  Yes, I understand that Medicaid is a lifesaver and cuts can harm the lives of one or many people.  Also, people ask if you're pro-life, how can you support cuts to Medicaid?

Hear me out.  It was the Democrats with Obamacare who were originally cutting Medicaid.  If you want to join a government-funded healthcare system, you need to cut other entitlements.  Also, I do not support abortion as I consider it murder.  Also, the cuts to Medicaid make people more responsible, and the government has to go on a diet.  America must be able to do more with less, which includes cutting Medicaid.

Republicans want to cut the Medicaid budget.  This would not only cut Medicaid but also kill Medicaid by cutting $793 billion from the federal budget in Medicaid cuts.  The fact of the matter is, people, especially the poor and disabled, have been getting too comfortable campaigning for entitlements, including myself.  One reform that could be implemented is making people work or volunteer for their Medicaid and other benefits.  For too long the needy have been sucking dry the taxpayer.  It is time that the needy start paying their fair share, and if they can't work, they can volunteer for their benefits.

Again, yes, I do support these Medicaid and Medicare cuts.  The government is over-bloated, and people are addicted to entitlements.  It is time for true health care reform that works.  That includes cutting and reforming Medicaid with a work or volunteer requirement for Medicaid benefits.  As always, comments are accepted.
