States have discretion to distribute federal funds as they see fit. Who do you think pays for undocumented immigrants when they go to emergency rooms or urgent care?
In California, federal $ funds undocumented immigrantsโ healthcare. I have seen that in practice for decades in San Diego.

Itโs about the money. I do not think spending the tax dollars is worth it. also those news outlets have proven repeatedly how inaccurate and slanted they are. FACT!
People that want the subsidies are just looking for hand outsโฆ itโs like people still crying over Hurricane Katrinaโฆ just sayinโ

This resets the program to pre-pandemic The overload on the system is a direct correlation to states using Federal money to pay for undocumented migrantsโ healthcare costs. I lived in San Diego for 17 years and I was in the health care industry. Iโve seen the over use first hand.

Itโs not attack on free speech itโs the application of existing laws. If Dems actually cared they could introduce legislation to give these humans a legal status to stay.
The fact is the Dems want a subservient class that they can control.

I agree the fraud is systemic I imagine there are plenty of shady providers.
I tend to believe the abuse is both end-users and providers. I donโt know what the percentage is.
You could be right that the cuts went to far. There are exceptions clauses to help people that are in need.

A) to preserve the entitlements for people that need them most, hard decisions had to be made. For instance able-bodied people must work at least part time. Not much to ask IMO
B) the decorating (as ugly as it looks IMO) is being paid for by donations.

I agree. There are something like six times as many Flag officers now as there were in WW2. WHY?
My understanding is military readiness is the worst is been since 1980 (not sure how true that is)
I did hear โweโdonโt anyone (friend or foe) to know how bad. Where is the congressional oversight?

IMO congress should have led the effort the entire time. I feel bad for the people that were laid off in the DMV area but this was very much needed.
I was impacted by DOGE and laid off (30+ years Federal) I still think it was needed.
