Republicans can not govern.

Those supposedly "governed" by Republicans, suffer.

Well, except for the wealthy.

PROVING that my statement -
GOP Policies cause suffering and death
is 100% correct.

THIS is why Satan LOVES the GOP! (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/evil.gif)

Except they prosper.  But why do the wealthy support democrats?

It beats the alternative. (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/rolleyes.gif)

Go ask the people working fast food if they are prospering.

Then ask them why don't they find a better job.

So what is holding them back from a "good" job?

Why?  Fast food restaurants are a product of Republican governing?


Because they lack skills and experience.


Their own lack of ambition and skills, minimum wage obstacles.

Not mentioned

During the pandemic, everybody who got on Medicaid stayed on, and didn’t have to do the annual paperwork to show they still qualified. In Georgia the rolls swelled to one-quarter of the state’s population, 2.8 million people. But now that federal pandemic emergencies have ended, the federal government is requiring every state to go back through all their case files over the course of a year to evaluate each one and make sure they still qualify. The process is called redetermination, or unwinding.

That is why he didn't link to the article!

CCPWvit is known for lying!

Oh, the horror!  Ya'd get the idea they were sold into sex slavery, or something.

Missing paperwork is the most common reason (https://www.ajc.com/news/health-news/missing-paperwork-costs-500000-their-medicaid-in-georgia/QVCIAQJRV5EZHOLODI5ECFWJVM/) behind Georgia’s disenrollments.

Children aren't on Medicaid.  Their parents are.

"Georgia unfortunately did not do well in protecting its children. Georgia ranked third in the country for the number of children who lost Medicaid in 2023, and that was a pretty significant finding. We didn't have a lot of data for Georgia because they haven't been very transparent about what's been going on for the children in the unwinding," said Joan Alker, research professor at Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Police. Alker was the lead on the study.

Really?  Are they being kidnapped, raped, molested, abused, indoctrinated, gender-changed, what?

Probably all of that.

Texas does SHIT for its orphans and foster kids, so they are abused, sex-trafficked, worked, neglected,
molested, raped and indoctrinated.

How many kids did Georgia have, anyhow?  A brood of more than five is pretty rare these days.

So that's how "protecting children" is defined?  By how much free stuff they get from the government? (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/rolleyes.gif)

In that case, I was the least protected child in America when I grew up.  It doesn't make any difference that I had parents to protect me, right?

How democrats protected children

Why are you NOT applauding that, Chooker?

It's what you wanted, right?

what makes you think that? I have given you no reason for that projection. I'm not a democrat or Republican if that should even matter.

You seemed to be complaining about the immigrants, and one of the BEST ways to
discourage the undocumented is to "make them feel like criminals."

Of course, the Better way is to punish the employers, who are the one who are REALLY
breaking laws.

I think most undocumented come here because they feel they HAVE to.
Employers break the laws because they want to, in that it will make them more money.

So between the two, I think employers are MORE at fault, then the undocumented.

so if that's true hooker then why are republican states leading the way in hurting children by taking away their Medicaid?

why is the federal government forcing them to make sure they are qualified to receive? There is more to not caring about children than just Medicaid.

You don't think proving a person is qualified is just good government?   Do you think the government should be just open to fraud?

In Georgia, basic Medicaid coverage for poor children and some poor adults has existed for years. Last year, the state opened a new limited Medicaid expansion program known as “Pathways to Coverage.” Pathways was intended to expand Medicaid coverage to poor adults who are able to work or perform other approved activities for 80 hours per month, but enrollment has been far lower than state officials hoped for. An effort in the Legislature to approve a greater expansion of Medicaid to more residents failed in March.

Doctors say that for those who want to prove their eligibility for Medicaid, the bureaucracy overseen by the Georgia Department of Human Services and the Department of Community Health is a bog.

Scornik was not surprised to hear the numbers. Families who come to him say that after they learn they’ve been disenrolled they can’t get through to caseworkers to solve the issue.

When they do get through to someone at the state, they’re told there’s a long backlog and it will take time. His patients who know they’ve been disenrolled and are trying to get re-evaluated, can go uninsured for months, he said.

Like most republican lead state Georgia republicans don't care about poor people enough to put any money towards helping them.   

Texas made it harder for kids to get/stay on the CHIPS many years ago under Rick perry.
he was able to cut 80,000 kids from the program.  Nobody cared, even though it is the
BEST program going to keep kids medically healthy.

if this is your reasoning, why are you complaining if the state can't prove them to be qualified? Are the undocumented migrants qualified?

It’s not the government’s business to “care about” people.


[/HIGHLIGHT][/SIZE][/FONT]


Again, not the business of government.  You want to help people?  Get government out of their way.  Let them help themselves.

There's a reason why anchoragedan is a childless loser.

People were HELPING THEMSELVES for THOUSANDS of years, before government came along Dan.

How far did we get?

ONLY with the advent of a Democracy have things taken off for the better.

So why do you want to destroy humanity's progress?

I win. (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

Exactly!  We got along just fine.  And then government started interfering and things went downhill after that. (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)

Democracy started with the ancient Greeks.  Government interference is not democracy.

I don’t.  I want to stop the government from destroying humanity’s progress. (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)
