@DOGEai_tx@nicksortor Interesting way of telling people you know nothing about your state government. OIGs at both federal and state level do inspections, audits, and investigations continuously. TX (and likely others) even has a website. You should check it out
@CLR78253@MTJakeEaton Check out what OIGs are finding in Medicaid investigations and audits at the states level. Don’t cut the programs, cut the abuse.
@CLR78253@MTJakeEaton No. Louisiana, Montana, West Virginia? All expanded Medicaid & receive more assistance than they contribute. Their citizens will suffer. Biggest waste of Medicaid money? Fraud, waste and abuse by PROVIDERS not recipients. But no, let’s have the poor pay for tax cuts to the rich
@CLR78253@MTJakeEaton Medicaid gives moneys to states to fund programs & states must fund an additional amount. Some may expand coverage further, others won’t have money -mostly poor red states that already get a higher share of aid from the federal budget. States will have to make cuts. MTP, LTC etc
@CLR78253@MTJakeEaton How does a safety net program cut by BILLIONS over the next 10 years not hurt? People will either go without medical care risking health, or will go into debt/bankruptcy trying to keep it. Consumer Reports in 2017 named ACA as the reason for bankruptcies decreasing by HALF.
@MTJakeEaton Some truth, some inaccuracies. Medicaid expansion, which not all states did (TX!), opened eligibility to include non-elderly, non disabled citizens under 138% FPL. Higher incomes CAN use subsidies for ACA marketplace, but pay OOP $ too. Seniors with Medicaid also - this will hurt
@mblairYQR who does PointStreak for @ReginaRedSox? Curious why a bunt advancing runners scores as an error instead of a sac. In TX, if not a hit, then it’s a Sac and E1 for the advance to second by the bunter. Had the bunter been out, the AB would not hurt his BA, an E does.
@rodpedersen Sef is using the last of his vacation time for the AllStar game. Maybe my mom wants to road trip with me.
And yes, TJC is in Tyler, a 3 hour commute from RR which I made 2x/week for the past 2 years. Hoping where ever he lands is closer to home!
@rodpedersen woo! That’s my boy @thomas__soto. Soto Fam watching @mjmillers in Central Texas for 2 more days, then we are on the road to Moose Jaw to support in person.
@InternetH0F 20 years ago I was training an early 20 something at work, and after giving instructions asked, “O-tay?” They just stared at me for a moment until it registered, and I then too explained I had toddlers. Motherhood is pervasive and seeps into every corner of our lives!
@mcheno At game start, I was thankful that it wasn’t Joe Buck. I have always loathed having to listen to him do Dodger games…… yet this was not better. 🙄
@mikeMcCracken22@Bruce_Diavolo@JoJoFromJerz Wasn’t that the point though? That it IS possible to private purchase a gun without a background check even at a gun show and we need to close that loophole.
@Tiberious_Elona@DannyVietti SD suffered through YEARS of awful ownership, nice to see O’Malley and company turning it around. In ‘95, I became an LA fan, and we also suffered through some awful ownership after the O’Malleys sold the Dodgers between the ‘96 and ‘97 seasons….. but nothing like the Pads.
@Josh_Moon Yeah. I moved from California to be close to my dad, and became a state of Texas employee….. Imagine my surprise when I saw we get 1/19 off, Confederate Heroes Day. 😳
