@peet2 Reading comprehension is still hard for some people. The point you made is there’s no need for a replacement they’re bossing the league. So do they just love Pepi? Or do they think he will get healthy and show up in the WC and increase his value? Or something else 🤷♂️
@Winder4Congress Might want enter the conversation on this thread on Reddit. They seem to think Tim Alexander is their only option. https://t.co/70TKtaOZ94
@cccapone idr this story & I was in TX at the time. But I remember how the Republican Party was electing and listening to the craziness that is in this article. Now it is all they are, sadly, and they never stopped to think about what they are voting for just can’t let the Dems win 😡
I’ll do it.
Immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid. The only time an immigrant receives any sort of coverage is if they have a medical emergency - like a heart attack.
Because of our EMTALA law, anyone presenting to an emergency must be treated, regardless of insurance coverage.
When people who do not have insurance go to the hospital for an emergency, the hospital social services will assist them in applying for temporary Medicaid so the treatment will be covered.
This doesn’t necessarily help the patient - they weren’t going to pay anyway. Who it benefits is the HOSPITAL.
If you take away federal Medicaid payments from hospitals who provide emergency treatment to immigrants, you are forcing those hospitals to provide the treatment for free.
This will cause hospitals all over the country to close, especially in rural areas where they are already struggling.
You want hospitals to close? Keep voting for Republicans.
Done.
