There's a whole generation of able bodied people whose only job is collect benefits and post tic toc videos.

"Trust but verify" don't get caught up in the minutia. I admire you quote Reagan and that is some savvy advise. You may want to actually employ it.

LoL, I actually DO EMPLOY and use that advice from President Ronald Reagan.

President Trump on Wednesday rescinded his OMB memo on his federal spending freeze.
The White House clarified that Trump did not rescind the federal funding freeze.

“It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction.”
“The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented,” Karoline Leavitt added.

On Monday, Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) put a temporary pause of agency grant, loan and other financial assistance programs.

“The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024,of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans,” the OMB said.

“This memorandum requires Federal agencies to identify and review all Federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the President’s policies and requirements,” the OMB memo said.

What???
You mean it wasn't just a computer glitch as claimed by the Trump Press Secretary?

Hopefully this is a temporary glitch in the White House webpage on the Constitution

and if they do not pay anything at all then it can go on their credit report and they will end up with nothing and a ruined credit store good luck finding housing with that.

I am confused. You look at destitute people who can pay perhaps $2 a month towards a 20% medical bill of perhaps $2000. and you say, "If they ruin their credit by not paying the $2000. a month they will be homeless."

And you do not seem to be expressing any sympathy or compassion for people in that situation. It seems as if you think they had better forget about going to the hospital and dying...and then perhaps their family will be without a breadwinner and be homeless.

Let's sit down and think of real solutions. Higher minimum wages, for example. Rural people have few job opportunities, and the opportunities are often very low-paying.

Universal health care. Those three little words explain why all the other industrialized nations insure all their residents at a much lower per capita cost than we pay to insure perhaps 90% (with a number of the 90% underinsured.)

Broadband access (this is one of the priorities of the Infrastructure Act that never would have occurred without Biden's presidency.) Broadband access allows rural people to have telecommuting jobs. It allows their public school students to take AP courses, for example, through online education, with a proctor/tutor for testing and advice.

It allows them to receive some medical services through telemedicine when the services of a specialist are needed.

So there are many things we can do to help rural people improve their lives, and keep the rural hospital networks open. Join me.

Every rural clinic and small town hospital that my wife and I have ever used does indeed have high speed broadband internet. I live in the middle of farm country in a rural setting that is outside of a very small town.

Even if you pay five bucks or 2 bucks if you pay SOMETHING a month they will work with you if you simply pay nothing and ignore it well then it gets on your credit report and you will be messed up. When my father was sick the first time ( the second time we had jam up insurance but the first time mother literally kept a list of all his doctors and they paid each of them a little something each month. I happen to live in a rural area have for all nearly 33.5 years of life I KNOW what it is like to have the nearest hospital be half an hour away same with most jobs ( and frankly the people in the county ( many of them do not want a lot of businesses here ( some sure, but not becoming urban. I also know what it is to have a single internet provider that often times would not work at the slightest weather issue so I know.

 

[Say it aint so]

Please don't believe anyone who is saying that Medicaid or Medicare is going away.

Going away?
Maybe no.
On the chopping block?
You're hot dern tootin with the GOP in control it's on the chopping block.
Social Security too.

A step up from welfare queens driving Cadillacs, but very similar in some ways I'd guess.

But is it available in homes? I had post-surgery telemed visits from my home when I had surgery in a city 150 miles away. My husband speaks to a diabetes pharmacist through telemec each month.
Broadband access allows rural residents to attend college classes online.

Not that I do not want prayers, but is there any reason you put prayer on a post concerning the fact I live in a rural area?

Could that not be tighting up the requirements to save money?

 

[Fantine]

You expressed some of the challenges of living in a rural area. Prayers seemed appropriate.
Many rural communities are dying. Kids grow up and leave for lack of jobs.
Broadband is essential. Telecommuting, which Trump.just banned for federal employees, can make rural living doable. Online services and shopping save long expensive trips to town.
I lived in a rural area once, a university town of 10,000 in a tiny state. Coming from the suburbs of NYC made it difficult, but the university town had everything I needed. Interesting people from all over the world. Culture. Community.
But I also had friends with a pig farm and learned a lot about rural life. I remember playing at a funeral where the deceased had spent her final days canning for her funeral banquet so she could nourish her friends in death as she had in life. Cried with a choir director whose husband died in a tractor accident.
Then of course there were the magnificent eccentrics. A hypnotist who believed she was abducted by a UFO and returned. Rural life can be very broadening.

Broadband internet is available in the rural farm country where I live and it has been that way for us out here for well over 10 years.

Every assertion in your post is incorrect.

Opinions may vary.

Every rural clinic and small town hospital that my wife and I have ever used does indeed have high speed broadband internet. I live in the middle of farm country in a rural setting that is outside of a very small town.

Those are commercial facilities on commercial plans, which have different options, different qualities of service and VASTLY different price points. Home users can likely get those services, too, if they're willing to pay tens of thousands (or more) up front to get the fiber laid and then another $1k/mo or more for the service. For the small clinics you described who wouldn't have had that much money, it's very possible that they chose to locate themselves where service was available or there was some sort of subsidized effort to get them service because of their value to the community.

You may have service at your rural residence, but that is absolutely not the case everywhere. For example, my parents can't get anything but wireless at their house, while their neighbors 1/4 mile up the road have wired broadband. Heck, here in the middle of Baltimore, my only non-commercial wired option is Comcast. Fios mostly stopped at the county line.

 

[DaisyDay]

Of course that would save money, but at what cost? Medicaid is supposed to provide access to health care for poorer citizens. Cutting them off will save money, but lose lives and badly damage quality of life for those denied needed care.

Well that's false. "Trust but verify"
