"My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed."
~ Senator Ron Wyden

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"The administration claimed that the shutdown of the Medicaid portal was a 'fluke' unrelated to the freeze—a lie so transparent it hurts to repeat it.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Some commentators are now suggesting that things aren't so bad, Medicaid will continue functioning, the judiciary will be a wall against Trump's dictatorial aspirations. I think we'd be very naive to imagine that the judiciary will permanently block dictatorial overreach of this sort, which has the potential to break government and hurt lots of people.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •We'd be foolish to imagine the judiciary will stand as a wall against dictatorship when we have the Supreme Court we now have.
The point is, this episode needs to serve as a warning for a lot that is likely going to come now fast and furious, with no one stopping it — when Trump and his party control all three branches of government.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"What are the human implications of this? When the most anti-science, conspiracy obsessed president and his gang of nihilists cut off federal funding from entities such as the National Institutes of Health (for travel, medical research reviews, grants to scientists, etc.), real people suffer—especially when combined with a 'pause' on any communications from the National Institutes of Health."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It is hard to see who could possibly benefit from these heavy-handed moves to constrain and defund our most vital public health institutions. American medical research, patients and their families, as well as the medical profession more generally will suffer as a result of this stunt.
Unless the courts permanently stop him, Trump’s power grab will leave the Constitution and our medical research programs in ruins."

If you remember that it's not hard to see who thinks they will benefit from the dismantling of American society.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"These questions are still on the table, even after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted a radical plan that President Trump announced Tuesday to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans, even though the money has already been appropriated by Congress."
