Watch Politics Done Right T.V. here. x Embedded Content Joe Scarborough did not bloviate after Mika Brzezinski pointed out that 15 Million Americans could lose their healthcare this weekend. The New York Times reported the following. The federal government has estimated that about 15 million people will lose coverage in the coming months, including nearly seven million people who are expected to be dropped from the rolls even though they are still eligible. Nearly half of those who lose coverage will be Black or Hispanic, according to federal projections. The changes in eligibility could lead to more people signing up for private coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces, where some people who lose Medicaid coverage will be eligible for free plans. But hundreds of thousands of people could end up in the so-called coverage gap in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, with incomes too low for subsidized coverage through those marketplaces but too high to qualify for Medicaid. The evil policies by Red State Republican governments will be in full vogue as these are the states that refused to expand Medicaid Expansion to the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). Now that the COVID-19 pandemic money that forced them to insure people under Medicaid is gone, they will simply effectively murder thousands of their citizens as they leave them without healthcare care they would otherwise qualify for if they accepted the expansion. Joe Scarborough rightfully called them out for their 14-year inability to do anything for Americans’ healthcare. “This bill was, of course, roundly criticized by the right. Also, a lot of people on the left are very suspicious of, oh, wait, wait, wait, spin it down now as Obamacare,” Scarborough said. “But you just look at the numbers of insured Americans and, more importantly, the declining number of uninsured Americans. By that very important measure. Obamacare has been a remarkable success.” Scarborough did not end there with his praises. “And we’ve been making great progress because of that,” Joe continued. “It does bear repeating and underlining what Mike just said. For 14 years, Republicans have been opposing this, and they’ve been promising that they would provide an alternative for 14 years and for 14 years doing nothing but just reflexively opposing Obamacare. They have not provided an alternative. I mean, there are a lot of legitimate concerns about Obamacare that have come from the left, that have come from the right. But if you don’t have an alternative, you know, it’s like the old Ted Turner quote. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. If you don’t have an alternative that’s going to insure Americans and the truly disadvantaged, get out of the way.” I could have said it no better.
