Gutless Wonders Pass Trumpolini's Big Bill

Here is an early prediction from the BBB and no wonder McConnell was against this.

Dozens of states will lose Medicaid funding

Big picture view:
According to a KFF report 36 states will lose $1 billion or more over 10 years in Medicaid funding for rural areas under the Republican tax bill, even with the $50 billion rural fund.

Moreover, Kentucky is likely to lose more with the KFF report projecting that the state would lose a staggering $12.3 billion, nearly $5 billion more than the next state on the list. This would happen because the GOP legislation will end Kentucky's Medicaid reimbursement system, minimizing it to Medicare reimbursement levels.

The Associated Press reported that Kentucky has one of the lowest Medicare reimbursement rates in the nation, and has one of the highest poverty rates, leading to a third of its population being covered by Medicaid.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said the Republican bill would close 35 hospitals in his state and pull health care coverage for 200,000 residents.

Alaska will be in dire straits too and do not see how the Repugnants got Murkowski's vote.

Usually I'll fly a 3'x5' flag from the house on the 4th. Not this year.

No flag on my house this year. Not feeling particularly proud of this country right now.

Two Lake Tahoe beaches closed and fireworks show cancelled

“The Incline Village Fourth of July fireworks display has been cancelled following a weather-related incident involving the fireworks barge earlier today,” said Capt. Joseph Colacurcio of the Washoe County Sheriff’s office in a statement. “We recognize that this cancellation is disappointing to residents and visitors who were looking forward to the celebration.”

“We sincerely appreciate the community’s understanding and continued support as we prioritize public safety and environmental responsibility,” Colacurcio added.

We live within a 30 minute drive and is in the same county as Reno (Washoe).
