Joe Ferguson forever

Don’t know what you’re referring to. But the WP doesn’t run the country.

One of the reasons my town has become popular for retirees and others is a very good small hospital. It already picks up many of the difficult cases from several very rural hospitals. When those go under, ours will be slammed. And it’s not that big. Glad I’m retired. Hope I dont get sick.

14 rural hospitals at risk of closure in Washington state alone https://www.fox28spokane.com/senator-murray-reacts-to-u-s-senates-approval-of-big-beautiful-bill/

Hospital systems are screwed. Especially rural ones. You’ll see multiple small hospital closure and possibly some systems also let’s get it straight that the vast majority of those who will lose their Medicaid are not illegals. I believe I posted an article yesterday that showed out of 11.4 million who will lose their coverage, 1.4 are illegals His mother may well be on it and could lose it. Wonder if he’ll cover her.

Why. This is rich. Y'all post "facts" from random bloggers. here https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/business/poor-americans-senate-legislation.html

There rural red state voters are gonna love this Americans who comprise the bottom fifth of all earners would see their annual after-tax incomes fall on average by 2.3 percent within the next decade, while those at the top would see about a 2.3 percent boost, according to the analysis, which factors in wages earned and government benefits received. On average, that translates to about $560 in losses for someone who reports little to no income by 2034, and more than $118,000 in gains for someone making over $3 million, the report found. Martha Gimbel, the co-founder of the budget lab, described the Senate measure as “highly regressive.” The disparity owes largely to the fact that Republicans aim to pay for their tax cuts by slashing programs for the poor, including Medicaid and food stamps. The cuts amount to one of the largest retrenchments in the federal safety net in a generation. But the savings they generate only offset a fraction of the total cost of the bill, which is expected to add more than $3 trillion to the federal debt by 2034. Republicans have continued to defend the package as a win for all Americans. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the bill as a “deal for working people,” saying on Fox News that it would protect Medicaid. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office previously found that nearly 12 million more Americans could become uninsured by 2034 if a recent version of Senate Republicans’ bill were to become law. That includes Medicaid recipients, who could lose benefits because of how Mr. Trump and his party aspire to retool the program’s funding structure.

36% better than “good”. 36 + what for good plus.

What percentage are “proud”. Still pretty high among Ds. I am but not very proud or extremely proud. Not with the flaming ####### prez…
