WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House Republican budget would leave up to 44 million more low-income people uninsured as the federal government cuts states' Medicaid funding by about one-third over the next 10 years, nonpartisan groups said in a report issued Tuesday.

The analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute concluded that Medicaid's role as the nation's safety net health care program would be "significantly compromised ... with no obvious alternative to take its place," if the GOP budget is adopted.

Up to 44M more uninsured under GOP budget

This is a completely meaningless statistic.

Insurance is not the END goal. The END goal is good health. Insurance is one means of getting there. There are others, like regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Prior to the federal government getting their sticky fingers in healthcare with Medicare and Medicaid, healthcare cost far less as a percentage of GDP than it does now (6% versus 17%). We were also generally healthier.

It's a complete LIE that the majority of the elderly were dieing in the streets prior to Medicare and Medicaid.

Go ask anyone in their 70s or 80s whether life was better in the 1950s than it is now. The overwhelming answer will be yes.

The government has destroyed the the healthcare system in the country. Now they are inventing false measures to justify more destruction.

No thanks. Been there. Done that.

Life was different in the 50s, that doesn't mean it was better.

One dad on our block died in his 30s of a heart attack leaving two small kids behind. Our little local hospital were he died is now big, both in size and in reputation as a world class center for heart and vascular care.

A mom in her 40s had a stroke and was never well enough after that to come home. Her daughter was my friend.

I don't know where you live, but it ain't the real world.
