The Disaster That Just Passed the Senate | The Ezra Klein Show
Trump’s big beautiful bill hits Medicaid hard, which provides health insurance for low-income people. The bill adds onerous paperwork requirements that many people will fail to complete. Republicans represent the cuts as getting able-bodied young men back to work, but for Medicaid to save money, it has to no longer pay medical bills, which do not primarily come from able-bodied young men.

How Republicans got Murkowski to yes on Trump’s megabill
Massive pork for Alaska. Where’s the tea party!?
“Murkowski..was able to extract key concessions for her state…She won victories on clean energy tax credits, delaying changes to food aid for her state and the promise of massive revenues from oil and gas drilling leases, among other priorities she can take back home.
In the end, she voted for a bill that makes up the core of her party’s domestic agenda.
“I held my head up and made sure that the people of Alaska are not forgotten in this, but I think that there is more that needs to be done, and I’m not done,” Murkowski told reporters immediately after the vote. “I am going to take a nap, though.”
…
she ultimately voted for a bill she just minutes later decried as “rushed” and “imperfect.”
…
What Murkowski was wrangling for was pretty basic: How to blunt the impact of the bill on her state.
“What I tried to do was to ensure that my colleagues understood what that means when you live in an area where there are no jobs, it is not a cash economy,” she told reporters. “And so I needed help, and I worked to get that every single day.”
…
Bowhead whaling boat captains recognized by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission will be able to deduct more for whale-hunting-related expenses, up to $50,000 from the current $10,000.”

The Dangerously Irresponsible Tax Bill — ft. Maya MacGuineas | Prof G Markets
Although both parties have been fiscally irresponsible, the Republicans have been more irresponsible, despite talking about it more. The Democrats tend to offset some of their spending with taxes. Republicans just take on debt to pay for wars and tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy.

Hospitals stunned by Senate GOP’s Medicaid plan
““No senator wants to be the reason their local hospital shutters its doors, and now is their opportunity to stop that from happening,” said a source familiar with hospital industry thinking, granted anonymity to speak freely on strategy.
More than 250 hospital leaders flew into Washington on Tuesday to urge senators to preserve Medicaid as part of an American Hospital Association lobbying campaign. The association spent almost $8.5 million on lobbying in the first quarter of the year, a high water mark dating back almost two decades.
“There are aggressive conversations ongoing … to make sure that all senators recognize the vulnerability that it is going to potentially put all of our hospitals in,” said one stakeholder granted anonymity to speak on strategy”

Republicans Are Lying To You And They Don’t Care
The Republican claim that their bill’s Medicaid cuts won’t take away people’s health insurance because people will get employer health insurance is either spoken out of dishonesty or ignorance. Many people on Medicaid will not be able to get a full time job that supplies benefits like health insurance. They will be paid little and not receive health insurance. Medicaid expansion has not shown to increase unemployment.

Mike Johnson Is A Lie Factory
Republican bill kicks millions of people off Medicaid. Speaker of House falsely claims that he wants to remove fraudsters from Medicaid when really he just wants the program to help less people. Rather than making the argument for having a less generous Medicaid program, he misleads.

Rather than honestly and straight-forwardly cutting Medicaid, the Republican bill adds thick layers of paperwork and bureaucratic hassles onto a bureaucracy that they purposely underfund and understaff to effectively cut Medicaid, taking away health insurance for many low income people.
