And, consequently, MAGAts and Trumplicans will blame Democrats.
Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Is Already Hurting Health Care Facilities
The bill is projected to strip health insurance from 17 million people.gizmodo.com
A study by the University of North Carolina, commissioned by Senate Democrats, found that 338 rural hospitals will be at risk of closing thanks to the GOP bill. But it’s not just rural hospitals already feeling the pinch. Two of San Diego, California’s largest medical providers announced layoffs in the last week. UC San Diego Health is laying off 230 workers and cited “mounting financial pressures” as a result of “federal impacts to health care,” including poor reimbursement rates for Medicare and Medicaid, in a memo seen by the San Diego Union Tribune.
Sharp Healthcare, San Diego County’s biggest provider, also announced it was laying off 315 employees who will work through early September. Executives at Sharp are also taking pay cuts, with CEO Chris Howard asking the board to cut his pay by 25%, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.
Bea Grause, president of the Healthcare Association of New York State told the Times Union that hospitals are going to feel this. “It’s a fiscal pandemic,” Grause said. “Medicaid is an important funder for all hospitals, and so it will financially hurt almost every hospital across the state of New York—and hospitals are central to the economy of each community. That’s what the average New Yorker should be concerned about.”
Many Americans probably don’t even know they’re on Medicaid, given the fact that each state administers its own program and has a different name for it. In California it’s called Medi-Cal, in Massachusetts it’s called MassHealth, and in New Jersey it’s called NJ FamilyCare. But people also don’t seem to understand that Medicaid helps hospitals pay for things that help everyone more broadly and pulling the rug out from under them will have ripple effects.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates 11.8 million people will lose Medicaid coverage between now and 2034, according to the Washington Post, but the bill also abolishes other subsidies for the Affordable Care Act that the CBO estimates will dump another 4.2 million people. Another 1 million on top of that will lose their coverage because of other health provisions in the bill, bringing the grand total to somewhere around 17 million people over the next decade.
When people lose their health insurance it doesn’t mean that they’re not going to need help. As Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat from Nevada, pointed out during a virtual roundtable this week, these cuts will “devastate health care in Nevada,” and people will go to the ER after they get sick enough.
“More people now are going to be showing up in our emergency rooms with acute care because they now have lost the health care that they need to even provide preventative care for them,” Cortez Masto said, according to the Nevada Current.

More likely advises
I assume as an attorney this is all an act for you. Im not an attorney but I've served as an expert witness in litigation often enough to know for absolute fact that settlements are very often not a reflection of the relative strength of the underlying legal arguments.
Wait. You think there is a civil cause of action for election interference?
So I just read they added an absurd new rule on gambling losses in the BBB. You are only allowed to deduct 90% of your losses against wins. So if you win $9,500 and lose $10,000 in gambling (and technically, you are supposed to report all gambling "sessions" as taxable events -- even if you did not receive a W-2G) then you would be treated as a $500 winner rather than a $500 loser.
That is such an absurd law and it makes absolutely no sense. But this is what happens when you put a 1,000 issues into a bill in the last few days and no one has a chance to read any of them.

Feel free to drop us a cite for the concept of “election interference” as a valid claim for relief - especially when the person seeking relief WON THE ELECTION.
As super has already explained, CBS’s reasons for capitulating instead of dismissing a merit less claim have nothing to do with the legal merits of the claims.

In North Carolina specifically for state taxes, the deduction is 0% and always has been. So in your example, NC treats it like you won $9,500 even if losses were $10,000 (so really you lost $500).
Dumbest thing ever on both counts. Only profits should be taxable.

Let’s just keep in mind, one of the best constructs to make sense of MAGA is a mob family. As can be seen from this thread, and also from his prior experiences with the capo he works for, most members of MAGA love being under the protection of a Don.

—> https://www.wsj.com/business/energy...4?st=orTyKJ&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink“Southern Energy Management is bracing for whiplash. The Raleigh-based home-solar-panel installation company grew steadily in recent years, thanks in part to tax credits in former President Joe Biden’s landmark 2022 climate law.
Now, Chief Executive Will Etheridge says his 190-person company’s residential solar sales could plunge in 2026 by as much as half. President Trump’s megabill, which he signed into law Friday, ends the subsidies later this year. Etheridge’s plans to buy more supplies from factories in North Carolina and elsewhere are on hold.
“Now, I’m not thinking about that at all,” he said. “I’m trying to think about how to save North Carolina jobs.”
… Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” will turn off that spigot [from the Biden 2022 climate law] as part of a push to extend the tax cuts enacted in his first term. Credits for EVs and home solar panels are slated to end in the coming months. Incentives to develop or produce renewable energy will wind down within years.
The legislation, meanwhile, boosts the prospects for fossil-fuel production on public lands, a boon to oil-and-gas drillers that are pumping record supplies and posting bumper profits.
…Clean-energy executives expected regulatory changes under any new administration. Some warn, though, that the swift rollback of much of a previously passed law will create a new level of uncertainty for future investment and raise financing costs down the road.
“You’re going to strand a lot of capital, and you’re going to put a lot of people out of business by changing the chessboard right in the middle of the game,” said Reagan Farr, chief executive of solar developer Silicon Ranch.
“That’s something as a country that we’ve been good about until now.”…”

I've never understood being able to claim gambling losses on taxes.

Ignoring the fact that Logical Luminary provided no source for his/her numbers, isn't the $50 billion in the bill, which is specifically for rural medical facilities, already doing what he's trying to do?this asshole

My understanding is that BBB cuts a bit more than 1 trillion from Medicaid and the 50 billion is under the control CMS which will review applications from rural health facilities to be reviewed, approved, and allocated for 10 billion on a yearly basis over 5 years.
Will every rural health facility be approved ?
If every rural health facility ( over 200 ? ) applies and is approved with the 10 billion distributed equally, that would would amount to less than 5 million/year. Seems to me this pittance is being used as a distracting talking point to fool people into thinking the BBB is not going to decimate rural health facilities.
Would it be too cynical to wonder if the CMS approves only red state applications ?

I will fully admit that there are people in both parties who are corrupt. It’s not equal, at the present, but it does exist.
With that in mind, the greater truth is that you are completely full of shit, and have added no actual value to the board, because all that you post are pithy both siding one liners that have less intrinsic value than Trump coins.

You never have been able to claim gambling losses. You claim the net income from gambling...wins vs losses. You've never been able to claim you "lost" money gambling. If your net was a loss, you simply lost. That is significantly different than paying taxes on all individual gambling wins regardless of offsetting losses.
