One version of Ryan's proposal would cause between 14 million and 27 million people to lose their Medicaid benefits, according to an Urban Institute and Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of his 2011 plan, which would have cut Medicaid by $60 billion less than his 2012 proposal. Romney and Ryan also want to repeal the health care reform law, which will add 11 million people to Medicaid starting in 2014.

But when Romney gets kind of serious, the big categories he identifies for cuts and Im quoting from his speech in Detroit here are Medicaid, food stamps, housing subsidies and job training. Programs for the poor, in other words.

(33,688 posts)I have always been fascinated at the miraculous transformation that takes during the process of birth.
In the Republikkkan mind, that precious unborn child becomes, immediately at the moment of its birth to a poor woman, a vicious, vampiric leech sucking the vital bodily fluids from the hard-werkin' 'murkan taxpayer and undermining the moral fiber of the Republikkk.
For some reason, I have never been able to understand just how that happens. I guess I am dum.

(12,325 posts)backward states like Texas, etc., want the poorest people to just move to another state that would provide services. It's a kind of eugenics.

(22,336 posts)but on the other hand they treat single mothers like the cause of the end of humanity.
They plan to set up women for situations where they will have to raise a child alone with no child support and no other support from the father, and then also want to take away whatever governmental support would be available to help raise that child.
