I refer to the leftist ad awhile where the Republicans were supposedly pushing granny over a cliff in a wheel chair. Who did they think they were kidding?

So McConnell and Ryan and all the rest are lying to us?
I mean - it's one thing to make a claim about some individual somewhere, but when the very top leaders of the Party clearly say they now need to cut all these things because of Corporate Tax Cuts deficits, that speaks louder than your opinion.
It's fact. Not opinion. In many states where the GOP controlled things they refused to provide LESS care for the elderly and disabled. Fact.
In Florida, Rick Scott and others allowed "service" companies faking as insurance companies to sell ANY policies to elders. I know - my MIL has one! Many states do not allow unregulated insurance, but Florida does (it's not insurance - just 4 people in an office with no money)....
Facts and actual actions get in the way of your talking points. Remember the Republican audience shouting "Let em Die"?? Did I make that up? I heard it with my own ears and it was not one or two people...it was the feeling of the crowd and of many all over the country watching.
Try as you may, you cannot come up anything that does not show Team Blue is MUCH better when it comes to protecting and believing in a Right to Health Care. I could write a book but anyone who has looked knows.
MA. and HI. have the highest insured rate. Texas, a wealthy state, the lowest.
Blue states expanded medicare and medicaid. Many red states decided they wouldn't even take money from the Fed. Government to help their populations.
If we don't accept the basic truths, there is really no point in debate. The Right believes in Capitalist Health Care - predatory and as expensive as possible (more profits). People do not matter.
Unlike many here I believe in some kind of accuracy...that is, Republicans don't want to do away with these programs immediately. They just want to cut them and give away the money used to fund them to Corporations.....until they die on the vine.
"House GOP 2019 budget calls for deep Medicare, Medicaid spending cuts"
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3...-spending-cuts
"House Republicans offered a budget proposal on Tuesday that would cut mandatory spending by $5.4 trillion over a decade, including $537 billion in cuts to Medicare and $1.5 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and other health programs."
A surging and aging population - and massive cuts equals what? It equals the correctness of the opinion that Republicans want Grandma and our disabled to pay the price while bigwigs enjoy some tax cuts they don't need and often didn't ask for. Period.
