Being pregnant doesn't mean you are ineligible for Medicaid completely, it just means you won't be able to stay on the Medicaid expansion as it's being phased out, if I'm reading the bill correctly.

Obviously this is not a good thing, but it is not quite as dire as that tweet suggests.

These takes are really loving stupid. It is exactly as bad as the tweet suggests. Millions of people are losing access to healthcare. The Medicaid expansion is getting cut and Medicaid is being turned into block grants, which means the protections aren't guaranteed. It is truly 100% hosed and trying to play devil's advocate is both incorrect and morally hosed up since you're playing defense for these guys now.

His opening line was how went to campaign in South Carolina and then continues to be disappointed. So...

Also lets examine these races:
- Kansas: a legit surprise overperformance
- Montana: a long-shot candidate in a long shot seat, overperformance
- South Carolina, lol, overperformance
- Georgia: best bet, still 50/50 in strong red district, candidate doesn't live in the district - slight u underperformance based on previous three races

Tim Ryan has an axe to grind, and you have a tribe to double down with

Jesus, it wasn't a "take," this bill is bad enough that people don't need to exaggerate or lie about what it actually does. If you think I'm defending the bill in any way than you're incredibly stupid.

To translate.

1. Federal deregulation of insurance plans (except 1 plan per insurer)

2. Block grants for Medicaid

3. Block states from regulating health insurance and gently caress over the injured in medical lawsuits.

4. Massive Medicaid cuts.

I hope some talking head pundit can draw attention to the fact that the latest Trump Tweet he specifically says "I" did not record.

I bet he's gonna go for the plausible deniability of not directly recording so he can easily throw a stooge under the bus.
