Washington hospitals face potential crisis, closures under proposed Medicaid cuts

Why are you posting this lying garbage? That woman with the handicapped son would be covered under SSI.The cuts don't effect her stop lying to your viewers.

Free is hard to quit. Stealing not so much

Give sick people to the churches for prayer and thoughtful worship to God.

Will nobody think of the poor billionaires? Without their tax cuts, how can they afford to have a yacht in each ocean, and jets on standby to take them anytime?

Lmfao

FJB

The only way the woman and her handicapped son would be affected by the cuts as if they are illegal immigrants. Fact check truth!

Bob Ferguson 8s a FAILURE
RE

Seattle city council 0ufe

Maybe Ferguson should do what the Trump Administration wants them to do by current Law and you morons, would have the funds to cover you're constituents.

The bill still needs to get approved by the Senate.

More anti Trump retoric from KOMO4. Let's not talk about why our state was allready at deficit. Let's just blame it on orange man.

This bill should only effect illegals ...period

Get the D.O.E. Money back….93 billion that the DEMS STOLE AND POCKETED after Trump won the vote and maybe…just maybe we can talk

Yeah well maybe you shouldn't have allocated all your funds to illegal immigrants and helping criminals. And you would still have some money left.
With their reckless spending there would be no SSI and Medicare by the year 2035.
If they didn't make these cuts then you would have absolutely nothing.
It's easy to be a socialist when your pit pocketing people.

This story is very misleading and lazy

lol! What did you expect? His last time in office the orange clown devastated rural healthcare. Now it’s coming around again, and you think it’ll get bad here? The red states are royally screwed.

The only people loosing there benefits are the Illegals

We already have work requirements in Tennessee and you can only receive SNAP/food stamps for 3 months every five years for the unemployed. You have to turn in paperwork showing you are applying for jobs every week.🤨

Cutting Medicaid is cruel and will cost us more money in the long run.

I voted for this and I stand by it!

Or maybe health care should be cheaper lol

We have the highest amount of unemployed men in this country in many years ..... they do not deserve taxpayer funds.
Illegals should not be on medicare/ medicaid for any reason..........

Happening to all scantury states

Oh my God they have to go to work ????? NO, NO, NO ..............

Lie lier the bill will save the medical system stop paying for illegals

Lie lier the bill will save the medical system stop paying for illegals

FBF

Anti Trump BS

Good, don’t worry, there’s a lot more cuts coming to Washington, Trump hasn’t even gotten started.

Just look on the bright side, you still have 4 more years of Trump baby!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut, Cut more funding from Washington state!!!!!!!!!!

they want you to be sick, poor, and give-up. history suggests a different outcome

About time that the lazy goes to work. The public goes bankrupt already

The lies about Covid finally catching up with them. Zero pity. Literally everything is the orange man’s fault? Komo activists are so tiresome

Yea Medicare is cut
But not for people
Like this lmao asking able bodied people
To work is pretty okay… what a bunch of crazies. Obviously this young man can’t work

Oh well I guess when the millionaire doctors start going bankrupt it will change

Is Gabriel an "Abled bodied adult"? It's gross how the press is a part of tearing America apart. Liberals are so disgusting.

Why don’t Washington democrats use their new $10 billion dollars in tax increase to help their own hospitals and instead of trying to free load off the federal government? KOMO biased reporting is nothing new.

Medicaid funding needs to be cleaned up. Trump and team will get that done!

yes the Communists want their medicaid waste, fraud and abuse to continue.

Take illegals off of welfare and Medicaid and people who are citizens and like in this story would not have to suffer.

What bullshit

MAGA and the GOP should be ashamed - they have given tax cuts to billionaires and taken away healthcare and food from the most vulnerable. SHAME SHAME SHAME

🍎🍏🥑🥑🥑🍕🍟🍔⏰🎛️📻💡🛠️🦠

They are not cutting medicare, they are eliminating the fraud. WTF can't people understand this?

Impeach Trump he is destroying our Healthcare and Medicaid system!

Why? Are these Medicaid recipients legally receiving benefits? because the only cuts are to those who are receiving benefits illegally . Just more leftist gas lighting...

Lies...the Trump cuts were for illegals only....but I bet your " news" isn't telling you that! Ferguson is going to tax residents to pay for the illegals.

Why is everyone saying this?No it doesn’t. All the ignorant people continue to scramble about believing this Idiocy. Did ANY of you watch the WHOLE interview following the announcement as it was signed? I did. He passed this bill PARTICULARLY for those who CANNOT afford medical coverage. If you’re a medicaid recipient and you DO NOT have a high income it will ESPECIALLY NOT AFFECT YOUR CHILD. The bill sets & I quote: These cuts don't directly apply to children or low-income families receiving benefits through mandatory Medicaid eligibility groups like those with children pregnant women, or those receiving Supplemental Security Income. Otherwise you ARE making more money than other American families who will be prioritized. It directly applies to able bodied adults who can get their a** up and make more money to cover those expenses because they have the means to make more money than those workers making below the poverty line. Damn.. Doesn’t any body actually pay attention?!

Then why do you insist on blowing $5000- $30,000 of medicaid on every illegal flooding our emergency rooms?

More trash reporting spinning lies.
