It isn't going to matter that much what they do to Medicaid or Medicare, because THERE WON'T BE ANY WORKERS LEFT TO TAKE CARE OF PATIENTS.

(4,468 posts)We were private pay but so many of the residents were on Medicaid. The state turned it off and immediately meds, depends, special care givers and monthly fees stopped coming in to the facility. That place went to a dead stop with the manager big eyed as to what the end of the month would bring! Trust me killing Medicaid kills nursing facilities and assisted living care for everyone. They simply will not exist on private pay patients. We were writing the big check but the care was just not there. Grandma and grandpa will be coming home to a living room near you! Those with no family its not going to go well. 😢

(4,468 posts)This was 2009/2010 in Idaho. I imagine state by state people have been getting a small taste of how this works. The politicians heard from the people and businesses in quick order and found a better way of thinking. It was a giant mess that could have taken businesses out in less than a month!

(89,034 posts)If they start getting the idea that the voters dont want it, theyre not as likely to try to shove it down our throats anyway.
Eventually at least some of em start noticing the writing on the wall, and start realizing who they really work for. But that realization only comes when We the People really make a stink about it. And it might also get through to them when their pals and allies in Congress (and elsewhere) start struggling to stay in power or disappearing because they got voted out.
I dont care who it is - from the Oval Office down to the local city official. Our leaders are really our FOLLOWERS. In office because We the People put them there.
Thats Reason #1 why we all need to keep and eye on our officials and make sure theyre doing what we want. After all, WERE the ones who put them in office and what the Voters giveth, the Voters can take away.
