Good old Washington Post. You can always count on them to post something really stupid to distract you from other stories overtaking the media for the past two days. Ahem. Seems WaPo wants us to believe that 4 in 10 Republicans (not just people, but REPUBLICANS) are worried that cutting Medicaid would hurt health-care providers.
Could you not make that face? We didn't say it.
Check it:
The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) ~ More than 4 in 10 Republicans worried significant cuts to Medicaid would hurt health-care providers in their communities and lead to people losing insurance, according to a KFF poll.

Medicaid isn't insurance.
Medicaid is an entitlement.
Better yet ...
Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) ~ Medicaid. Is. Not. Insurance.
Medicaid. Is. Welfare.
Glad we could all clear that up.
Oh, and also, we're calling serious BS on the claim that 40% of Republicans are worried about cutting Medicaid to illegals and able-bodied people gaming the system hurting health-care providers. As the old man used to say, 'C'mon, man!'
Jack Bauer after dark (@JackBauerAD) ~ Some of the replies to that WaPo tweet really exemplify why the country is in such bad shape.
As many stupid people as you might think there are, there are likely 10x that many.
LisaLou (@Lis_aLouu) ~ It’s amazing that people do not understand this at all.
Amazing, and not in a good way.
And Democrats don't want their clueless peons to understand, either.
Nate (@N8actual) ~ "People" are going to lose Medicaid. Notice it makes no mention of who those "people" are.
Translation = "Freeloaders."
Yes. They say people are losing Medicaid because they know it's mainly illegals.
Always pay attention to how the media phrases things because more often than not, they're trying to spin something their way or the Democrats' way.
