“They’re going to deport their 4.6 million Medicaid and 3.2 million Medicare recipients to New Mexico.”

Just a damn minute. When you are over 65, you must be on Medicare and we pay for that every month over $100 and the vast majority of us have a supplement policy that costs us over $200 a month and we pay it. Those over 65 would include vast numbers of ex-military men and would be on our Texas front lines.

Medicaid people get free medical care - we on Medicare do not and we are valuable contributing Texans. Take back what you said about shipping Medicare people out of Texas and I might not beat you silly. :o)

Well I’m on Medicare too.
And while the govt will send you your SocSec money if you are out of the country, they won’t pay your medical.
So a “free” Texas is gonna have to come up with a huge amount of money if they plan to set up a retroactive Medicare program.
