URGENT
It is no secret that this administration is cruel but they are gaslighting Americans into thinking that there are tax breaks in this bill for them.
The legislation also:
Increases the frequency of eligibility checks, which determine whether people still qualify for Medicaid.
Penalizes states that cover undocumented patients, which does not include Ohio.
Prohibits Medicaid from paying Planned Parenthood and other clinics that provide abortion services and reproductive health care.
Bans Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care.
Requires states to impose an up to $35 co-pay on services for adults under 65, with some exemptions.
Work requirements do not prevent fraud; they are detrimental to working families, retirees, and Americans with disabilities.
These requirements would not have stopped large scale fraud like this one that launched Rick Scott's career.
Before becoming a far-right politician, Scott led a company called Columbia/HCA, which faced a federal fraud investigation over Medicare. As the FBI's investigation advanced, Scott resigned as CEO, though he nevertheless faced considerable scrutiny — including an infamous civil deposition in which the Republican asserted his Fifth Amendment rights 75 times.
While the company eventually pleaded guilty to 14 felonies, Scott was never charged with any crime, and he has maintained his innocence for years. There’s no record Scott was even interviewed by federal agents in their probe of HCA. While Scott did say in 2010 that he “took responsibility” for what happened, he denied knowing about any fraud. read more here
This so-called tax relief is temporary. After these employees claim all of their tips as wages for the next three years, they will be expected to continue to make the same income in the following years.
They will set themselves up for IRS audits and penalties for tips they are unable to earn in the future.
This so-called reduction in taxes will prevent tipped employees from increasing their minimum wage of $5.35 per hour.
Tipped employees spend hours each shift doing work that others get paid a full salary to do, but they do it at the reduced rate, and they are unable to receive tips from customers during this time frame.
