Trump's Medicaid Cuts Could Shut Down 11 Homes! - The Logical Leftist



Eleven Mississippi nursing homes are now "at-risk" of closing because of Trump's $880 billion Medicaid cuts. I'm not making this up - this is systematic destruction of healthcare infrastructure disguised as fiscal responsibility.

Mississippi's elderly population is particularly vulnerable, with 74% of nursing home residents relying on Medicaid. Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" doesn't just cut funding - it shifts an $880 billion burden to families and states while corporations profit from the crisis.

This isn't about budget math - it's policy warfare. Republicans know exactly what they're doing: defund public healthcare until it collapses, then sell the "solution" to private companies who charge whatever they want. No competition means higher prices for everyone.

The cruelest part: seniors who worked their entire lives and paid into Medicare are told their healthcare isn't "efficient" enough for Republican donors' tax cuts. This is how they treat the people who built this country.

Follow the money - healthcare corporations and Big Pharma love Medicaid cuts because it forces people into their for-profit systems. Meanwhile, families are told to "take personal responsibility" while Republicans eliminated their healthcare options.

Eleven Mississippi nursing homes closing isn't just numbers - it's seniors losing their homes, families losing peace of mind, and communities losing their care infrastructure. This is manufactured crisis politics, and the victims are real.
