Re: “Tax the rich? Slash spending? Republicans wrestle with economic priorities in the Trump era” (Could 10, Nation):
Can we please cease utilizing the phrase “fashionable” when describing Medicaid packages? Ice cream is “fashionable” with Individuals, “Star Wars” is “fashionable” with Individuals. Individuals’s lives rely upon Medicaid.
Most different developed nations know that well being care is a proper and guarantee their residents have entry; it’s not up for debate. However not America. Each of my dad and mom trusted Medicaid on the finish of their lives; for his or her medical care, prescriptions and ultimately nursing house care. None of that may have been doable with out Medicaid packages.
Utilizing the phrase “fashionable” makes it appear to be a development, not a necessity.
