Ogles: "The people that are getting off Medicaid are people that shouldn't be on Medicaid to begin with ... it's the loser in his mama's basement playing video games instead of going out and getting a job."

When I worked for the USPS, I wasn't guaranteed hours other than the one or two days the regular carrier had off each week. However, I was expected to be "on call" just in case I was needed. My position wasn't offered benefits of any kind. This bill would make sure those folks can't get coverage.

Hey, Ogles had to make up a scapegoat because the GOP couldn't blame a trans person again or Biden. I bet if Heggy hadn't been on Fox, he would be "playing" Call of Duty or streaming it from his basement, collecting a check because streaming video games is a job, you don't have to be good at.

Yeah. Wal-Mart is hiring!! Go get that job and your health benefits are….checks notes…..Medicaid!!! Because you will make just enough to qualify for it. God these are stupid people

I lost count of how many of them said "mom's basement and video games" already. It's their go to lie that they were told to keep repeating, but I have yet to see them cite one example. And their cult members who are on Medicaid must think they're missing out on those Medicaid checks they hear about.

Ah, I see. The "massive fraud" that the Trump regime is fighting consists of a couple of imaginary guys playing video games in mom's basement. Guys who have probably never used Medicaid. But hey, attack millions to root out a miniscule "problem". It's your funeral pal.

Let’s discuss the wealthy Republicans who go to their lawyers move all their money sell their assets apply for Medicaid and get it so they do not have to pay the nursing home. Let’s discuss the effect on nursing homes of getting a dollar a day for someone sitting on a say a half $1 million.

They are not older people who have no money who would be destitute. They are people who own property and have stocks and systematically, cash it all out and turn it over to a family member so they can ride the free ride for the rest of their lives happens daily big business.

Well that "loser" is gonna need to stay in that basement because soon he will the only caregiver mama has when she can't get long term care due to Medicaid cuts.

So the young healthy dudes living in moms basement -so maybe 1000, who havent gone to the Dr in 10yrs somehow are using 800B in health benefits?

No, it's unfortunately a great talking point for elders which is the Republican base. It's just rehashing the "millennials are lazy and ruining businesses" down to literally still targeting millennials.

...didn't little benny get outed as a russian state asset? his opinions were laughable before, but peddling russian state prop should see him tarred and feathered.

When you justify actions like cutting Medicaid and Medicare with lies, instead of explaining how those cuts actually benefit Americans and their healthcare, you resort to attacking others verbally. That’s the Republicans playbook, ad hominem attacks instead of real informative facts.

WHAT IS IT WITH THE CHUMPCULT? THEY ALL THINK EVERYBODY IS LIVING IN MOMMY'S BASEMENT. 1 dumb A🕳 even said it to ME. I TOLD HIM, bring it to my face bee-itch. I have my own place, no basement. DON'T go thinking EVERYBODY lives like you. Stop swallowing chump lies.

I hate Democrats, so I don't want to give them any political suggestions, but they should juxtapose these interviews alongside the children, the elderly, and the working people who lose their coverage due to the Republican policies. They're not smart enough to do something that simple.

🧵 I never eat McDonald’s, but a couple yrs ago, my wife & I had to swing through a drive through on a Saturday. We noticed it was nothing but pristine 50k trucks (that clearly aren’t used as work trucks) covered in stickers. It was clear from looking at the drivers that the trucks were the only

🧵 valuable thing they owned. They all dressed the same, wore cheap gas station 90’s looking sunglasses. You could just tell that they were in debt for the truck & living like shit. You knew if you followed them they’d all be driving back w their Saturday McDonald’s breakfast by themselves to

🧵 to shitty apartments or their moms house. But they had that truck & they’d probably spend the day waging it & fawning over it, despite the fact that it only impresses other sad little maga boys like themselves

I thought those boys are now working for ICE, cosplaying as soldiers in the battlefield while kidnapping people at graduation parties?!

DANG! I hate that loser! Reminds me of an old high school friend who voted for Trump the first time and works in a restaurant and can't afford treatment for an adult offspring with serious health issues.

Oh, the loser definitely is NOT on Medicaid and playing video games, he's 1. working on his manifesto 2. persuading his parents to buy high powered weapons 3. picking out targets who he blames for all of his problems 4. picture of him looking dumb on the news for about a week 5. Rinse and Repeat

I wish I heard more people counter that sentiment that those people don’t cost a lot of healthcare dollars, so where are the savings going to come from? Kicking grandma to the curb from her nursing home, hey maybe her basement dwelling grandson could take care of her?

And he knows this how exactly? I know nothing about Medicaid requirements, but Medicare has been good . 3 weeks after starting last January, I fell and broke my arm requiring 2 surgeries and lots of Physical Therapy Most everything has been covered $400/mo, better than $700 I was paying before

"it's the loser in his mama's basement playing video games" He forgot to add the guy's age. I've seen 35 and a new one, 29 today. He shound have said 23 or 26. The odd number adds spice to the lie. They are obsessed with video games, guy's and basements.

I'm starting to think that MAGAs are angry at their own kids. Maybe they should look at their own parenting. As for the politicians, they make sure their kids are ok. Hooking them up with jobs, probably paying rent & school. Maybe a trust fund. Hard knocks are for the middle & working class.

Those "losers" in their mamas' basements playing video games are part of their MAGA base, aren't they? But since those same losers are probably too lazy to vote (or do all the legwork to get on Medicaid in the first place), they don't care what this part of the base thinks.

As the local basement dwelling loser, when I do work I don't qualify for Medicaid because I'd make too much money but if I do sit around making zero dollars it's actually insanely difficult to apply while living in the basement. The housing/job market makes it difficult to change this situation.

This tired old trope is bullshit. I think Andy spent too much time in some mom's basement. Maybe Pinocchiogles can explain to senior citizens what's happening when they get their supplemental Medicaid/Medicare cut - my MIL would be interested in hearing that, if she doesn't croak in the meantime.

Why don't I see a single reporter ask the question, "OK, if there's this young healthy guy, how expensive can he be? What services will he use? You do know Medicaid $$ go to providers, not beneficiaries, right? You do know that, don't you? So what providers will he use? Take all the time you need."
