What Legal Actions Can We Take If Republicans Pass A Bill To Reduce Medicaid Benefits?
What legal actions can be taken in federal courts if the Republicans actually shock the nation by reducing Medicaid benefits and putting the welfare of the people at a terrible risk of all kinds of health care crisis, and a spread of disease due to untreated patients?
WHAT LEGAL ACTIONS CAN WE TAKE IF REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY PASS THEIR BILL TO REDUCE MEDICAID BENEFITS?
The Republicans have stated that they have planned to make some last minute changes to the Medicaid benefits in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" just before voting on it, in about a month, so that we don't have time to try to convince them to have a heart.
This is where the Bill stands now, and it includes a lot of subjects, so you have to keep scrolling to find the parts about Medicaid.

The Bill is in the U.S. Senate right now for almost the next month, and if they amend parts of it then it will have to go back to the House of Representatives in the U.S. Congress.

We can afford health care for everyone if we repeal the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, so if the Republicans reduce Medicaid benefits that is an act of fraud in a fiduciary capacity, fraudulently concealing that all we have to do to afford Medicaid is to repeal the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 and put
all prescription drugs and medical devices invented with taxpayer dollars in the ownership of the federal government so the government can contract with manufacturers of these products and make huge profits selling them worldwide, and use the profits to fund Medicaid.
How did the Bayh-Dole Act
…… (a) create an unconstitutional system of Slavery; and
…… (b) how can we get all the money we need for Medicaid if the Bayh-Dole Act is repealed?
O.K., the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 takes our taxpayer dollars and gives some to the N.I.H.,
the National Institute of Health, and then the N.I.H. hands out our hard earned tax dollars to Universities and private laboratories for R&D, research, design and development of new
prescription drugs and medical devices. Under the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 the lead researcher is allowed to own the U.S. Patents to the new inventions. Prior to 1980, the U.S. Patent Law was “work made for hire” so that whoever paid for the research, design and development owned the rights to the new inventions.
Now, the legal cause of action is this: the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 uses taxpayers
(we the people) as Slaves because we get NO R.O.I., no return on investment of our
hard earned taxpayer dollars because the ownership of the rights (the U.S. Patents)
to the new prescription drugs and medical devices is given to the lead researcher.
So, the lead researcher becomes (a) super wealthy, and (b) is motivated to cheat and lie
and conceal side effects of prescription drugs in order to secure the Patent.
It is Slavery for people to have to work and be taxed to make one person super rich
in each University or private laboratory.
That is clearly slavery.
Find a rich, retired pro-bono (free) attorney who wants to go to Heaven and who will help.
Some Members of the United States Congress are lying to the public and saying that
there has to be “incentive” to create new prescription drugs.
Now, when the public, we the people, the taxpayers, OWN the rights, the Patents,
to the new prescription drugs and medical devices that WE paid the laboratories
and all the salaries of the workers in the laboratories to invent,
then we-the-people can contract with manufacturers to produce the new
products and sell them at much lower prices than the greedy lead scientist
demands when the lead scientist contracts with pharmaceutical corporations,
because the lead scientist is incentivized by billions of dollars, remember
the crooks in the U.S. Congress would have you believe that without
incentive the scientists won’t work.
So, what if we-the-people can take control of the profits and control the
costs of prescription drugs, where would those profits go?
Well, if we put the money directly into the Medicaid program, the billions
of dollars in sales of Rx drugs and medical devices,
then there would be plenty of money for Medicaid for everyone.
Try adding it up, how much money do all of the pharmaceutical corporations
make and add that to all the millions or billions the lead researchers make?
Article III, Section 2, Clause 1:
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
In addition to suits brought by the federal government as a plaintiff, Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party may include cases brought against the United States as a defendant.1 Those cases fall within Article III’s grant of federal court jurisdiction.

To file in forma pauperis (IFP) before the U.S. Supreme Court, a party must first file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis along with a notarized affidavit or declaration showing their inability to pay court fees. The motion and affidavit must be filed with the document being sought to be filed.
Motion for Leave:
.The first step is to file a motion requesting permission to proceed in forma pauperis.
An affidavit or declaration must be included, explaining the party’s inability to pay court fees and costs. This document needs to be notarized.
Filing with the Document:
.The motion and affidavit/declaration must be filed alongside the document for which in forma pauperis status is sought.
. Rule 39:
These procedures are governed by Supreme Court Rule 39.
In essence, the process involves:
Demonstrating financial inability to pay costs through an affidavit.
Requesting permission to proceed in forma pauperis through a motion.
Filing these documents along with the primary document being filed with the court.

The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 is a federal law that allows universities, small businesses,
and non-profits to own
and commercialize
inventions created with federal funding.
THIS LAW SHOULD BE REPEALED because it is unConstitutional,
it creates a system of slavery making certain people super wealthy
on the backs of the hard working taxpayers.
This law creates Oligarchs.

A case brought by a U.S. citizen against a law made by Congress before the Supreme Court is typically referred to as a challenge to the constitutionality of the law. This occurs when the citizen argues that the law violates a specific provision of the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court then reviews the law and determines whether it is constitutional or unconstitutional.
Judicial Review:
The Supreme Court’s power to review laws passed by Congress and determine if they are constitutional is known as judicial review. This power was established in the landmark case Marbury v. Madison in 1803.
Challenges to Constitutionality:
When a citizen believes a law passed by Congress violates the Constitution, they can file a lawsuit in federal court.
Supreme Court Review:
If the case makes its way to the Supreme Court, the Court will carefully examine the law in question and the arguments presented by both sides.
Ruling:
The Supreme Court will then issue a decision, which can either uphold the law (meaning it is deemed constitutional) or strike it down (meaning it is deemed unconstitutional).

Purpose of Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 (still in full force and effect):
To incentivize research and development by allowing institutions to profit from inventions developed with federal funding.
Medicaid Funding:The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, while primarily focused on patent ownership and commercialization of federally-funded research, does not directly fund Medicaid. It primarily enables universities, non-profits, and small businesses to own and commercialize inventions arising from federal research grants, potentially leading to the development of new drugs and technologies that may later be used in Medicaid.
Patent Ownership:
The Act allows institutions to own and commercialize patents developed with federal funding, potentially leading to exclusive licenses.
Drug Pricing Concerns:
In some cases, drugs developed with federal funding and patented under Bayh-Dole have been sold at high prices, raising questions about the affordability of these drugs for Medicaid recipients.
March-In Rights:
The Act includes a provision that allows the government to “march-in” and cancel exclusive licenses if the public is not served on reasonable terms, potentially including pricing issues.
Medicaid Impact:
If drug prices are excessively high, it can strain Medicaid budgets and limit access to needed medications for low-income individuals.
Potential Solutions:
The “march-in rights” provision in Bayh-Dole could be used to address high drug prices, ensuring that these medications are available on reasonable terms for Medicaid recipients.
WHY AREN’T the “POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS” working to lower drug prices?
Because some United States Senators
brag about getting TEN prescription drug prices lowered,
but there are THOUSANDS of prescription drugs,
so while they claim they don’t take money from pharmaceutical corporations,
the pharmaceutical corporations are giving money to certain non-profits
and those non-profits are giving money to certain political action committees
and the political action committees are donating campaign funds to
the campaigns of U.S. Senators
who agree to keep the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 in place.
So, the pharmaceutical corporations are laughing their heads off
because they are willing to lower the prices on TEN drugs
while they are raking in HUGE profits on thousands of drugs.
It’s like the United States Senators and also the U.S. Congress Members
are pulling the wool over your eyes and deceiving you about where
their millions and millions of dollars of campaign funds come from
and deceiving you thinking they are doing a wonderful thing by
negotiating with drug companies to get the prices lowered on
ONLY ten prescription drugs while the pharmaceutical corporations
are raking in BILLIONS on thousands of different prescription drugs.
Think of a dog who has been attacked by a porcupine and is
full of needles, and a U.S. Senator offers to remove just 10 needles,
but the dog is still suffering with hundreds of needles stuck in it.
Remember, untreated patients with contagious diseases spread them.
