The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.
An autism tribunal.
Disgusting & dangerous.

"Those frustrations emerged in a two-hour meeting in Johnson’s leadership suite on Tuesday night, in which the speaker huddled with roughly a dozen #GOP centrists who have refused to back any #Medicaid changes that could hurt eligible Americans who rely on the program."

Ever get the impression that Republicans are trying to find that line where if they step over it they will find themselves tarred, feathered, and thrown out of town?

The project is part of a wider $50M #research effort #RFKJr is launching to identify the causes of #autism, which he characterizes as an *epidemic* that can be prevented.
Very dangerous
Federal #health agencies will create a #registry of #autism patients enrolled in #Medicare & #Medicaid that researchers will use to *study* the *causes* of autism spectrum disorder, #HHS Secy #RFKJr said on Wednesday.

#Trump "said #Medicaid 'isn’t going to be touched' and then, the next day, endorsed the House bill that very much 'touches' it. Since then, he’s mostly claimed that Republicans will target only 'waste, fraud and abuse.'"

GOP Plans To Cut #Medicaid Would Kick Millions Off Health Insurance, New Analysis Says https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cbo-medicaid-cuts-fmap-reduction_n_681b76fee4b0c2b15d971fc0
"Republican leadership is used to resistance to Medicaid cuts from vulnerable swing district House Republicans, who worry it will cost them their jobs in 2026. …
What GOP leadership isn’t as used to, and which they may find far more difficult to deal with, is a populist revolt from the far-right over Medicaid."
"There’s always been a fundamental tension within the Republican party. It’s run by very rich people who want tax breaks and fewer government handouts, but it’s largely supported by working class voters who are often dependent on government programs.
That’s why the GOP’s quest to slash Medicaid by $880 billion to pay for Trump’s big tax breaks for the wealthy is now running into a MAGA wall."

"New CBO analysis shows that several policies Republicans are considering for slashing #Medicaid spending would lead to millions of ppl losing health insurance coverage.
The analysis, requested by Dems, says that per capita caps for the MDCD expansion population would save $225B in fed spending & result in
1.5M more uninsured ppl by 2034. Blocking provider taxes could save $668B & lead3.9M to lose coverage, per CBO."

"List of the #Medicaid cuts in the R reconc pkg: big one is thatthey're going to raise premiums & co-pays on beneficiaries at or above the fed poverty line -helps pay for the tax cuts.
There're also changes to enrollment procedures, which in actuality will justmake it harder to access MDCD.
-Work requirements
-Repealing Biden rules to make redeterminations of eligibility more frequent
-Tightening retroactive coverage"
#Republicans always deceive & obfuscate.
