Centene is contracted by HHSC to manage their Medicaid spending. When Trump decided to make Medicaid cuts, it meant our membership would go down. Centene gets a monthly payment for each member on Medicaid. Without the member there is no money coming in which.means no money to pay you. Anytime you work for a company on a contract you have to understand that you can be cut at any point. Centene is built around Medicaid. Although They aren’t losing their contract, they’re losing their membership that Trump took away. Instead of putting Centene down, talk to Trump. He did this. Do your research. And before you apply for another job pay attention to who the company is that you’re saying yes too. That was your mistake by saying yes to a company that you didn’t even do your research on. Centene doesn’t have to offer anything to you on your way out but they did. Maybe it’s not what you wanted but they still offered. What is happening with Medicaid is out of their control. They have to do what’s best for the company to serve each member what is entitled to them. At the end of the day we are there to serve the member. But without a member there is no one to serve. Why should Centene pay you to sit in front of your computer and do nothing because there is no member to serve? That would be their worst business move. Stop putting Centene down and go talk to your president. Maybe his severance package will better suit you.

a lot of us are legacy WellCare employees…
@OP preach!
Nope, my original employer was acquired by Centene.
Um I’ve been at my place of employment for ten years and we were acquired by Centene, I didn’t apply to work for Centene. Business was great before Trump came in office, why are you blaming the employees? I didn’t vote for that ahole.
The worst business move was Centene donating to this current administration. Also, do your research before voting. Elections have consequences.
are you done su-king the shareholder's cocks or should we let you continue??
@bp 😂😂😂 you’re my hero
Paragraph breaks are essential visual and structural tools that organize information, making text significantly easier to read and digest. Without them, a reader is faced with an overwhelming "wall of text" that causes eye strain and cognitive fatigue.
Strategic paragraphing serves several critical functions:
Signals a Shift in Ideas: Paragraph breaks show where one idea ends and a new one begins. They act as a silent transition, giving readers a mental cue that a new topic, location, or time is being introduced.
Aids Accessibility: Proper paragraph breaks (using the "Enter" key) create structural white space that allows screen readers and text-to-speech programs to parse and pace information correctly for users with visual impairments.
Clarifies Dialogue: In storytelling, starting a new paragraph every time a different character speaks prevents confusion over who "owns" the dialogue.
Controls Pacing: Short paragraphs accelerate the tempo of a scene, creating a sense of urgency or fast-paced action. Longer paragraphs slow things down, allowing for deeper reflection, atmosphere, and detail.
Prevents Reader Fatigue: Breaking up long blocks of text provides brief resting points for the eyes, which encourages people to keep reading rather than clicking away.
Sooooo who are we blaming for AI and for allowing companies who receive most of their income from taxpayers, to be able to outsource??? Asking for a friend ?! Oh yeah and the third party vendors have access to our US members HIPPA…. Isn’t America great !
@ap Are you okay? You seem unusually upset about this.
It also sounds like you're heavily invested in media narratives and pop-culture references. The SNL sketches, cable news talking points, and reference to Ron Burgundy (I had to look him up) don't really strengthen your argument—they just make it sound rehearsed.
You might want to spend less time consuming political and Hollywood entertainment and more time evaluating issues on their own merits. The people who own and profit from that content aren't interested in your well-being; they're interested in keeping you engaged and emotionally invested.
To be fair, this kind of ranting isn't unique to one side. You sound a lot like the loudest personalities on CNN or Fox—more interested in scoring points than having a discussion. It's not a particularly convincing look.
WOW...take it easy, Trump will be out of office in two years but your seemingly pathetic life will continue as planned...blaming Trump for a failed love choice...man that's just nuts!
Medicaid was never meant to be the sprawling entitlement it is today. In 1965, it was designed to cover less than 2% of the population, specifically those who were truly medically vulnerable. Following expansions under President Obama’s Affordable Care Act and the COVID lockdowns and emergency declarations of both the Trump and Biden administrations, nearly one in four Americans is now enrolled. Many are healthy, working-age individuals eligible for employer coverage.
@OP OP, there seems to be some confusion about both how the U.S. political system works and what budget "cuts" actually mean.
First, Trump didn't unilaterally decide to cut Medicaid. Congress passed the bill, it went through the legislative process, and Trump signed it into law.
Second, when politicians talk about "cuts," they're often referring to reductions in projected future spending, not necessarily taking money out of the current budget. In the case of Medicaid, the BBB reduces federal spending compared to what was projected under prior law, but that doesn't mean Medicaid funding suddenly drops to zero or that all current funding disappears. In fact, total Medicaid spending is still projected to remain substantial and continue growing over time, just at a slower rate than previously projected.
So both of these statements can be true: the bill reduces future Medicaid spending relative to prior projections, and overall Medicaid spending is still expected to increase over time. The distinction matters because "spending less than originally planned" is not the same thing as eliminating existing funding.
If we're going to debate the bill, it's important to be precise about what was actually changed rather than treating every reduction in projected spending growth as if current funding was simply taken away.
Instead of blah, blah, blahing and spitting stupid political talking points, go see what the BBB actually does do: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/62105
If and when you read these facts, stop and think...could Trump, being the id--t and mo--n you obviously think he is, do this on his own? Maybe you're giving him more credit than he deserves!
Also, Centene leadership knew this was coming...so stop dropping all this blame on Trump. Centene leadership is paid large sums of money and stock to make money for the stockholders. You as an employee are cannon fodder to them! That's it...nothing more!
@a9
When the Affordable Care Act (aka “Obamacare”) was first passed, the ACA established generous subsidies in the form of premium tax credits to pay the premiums for those who qualified. During the Biden administration, Democrats in Congress expanded those credits even further. These “enhanced” ACA subsidies, known as Biden COVID Credits, were meant to be a TEMPORARY measure to address the financial challenges of the pandemic. Democrats—with no Republican support—SET THEM TO EXPIRE at the end of 2025.
The temporary Obamacare Covid expansions expired — as originally intended

It would be fiscally irresponsible to extend these COVID-era policies that was always meant to be temporary.
@a9 with all do respect did we have another option? Just really curious besides Trump? You want cackling Kamala and how Democrats couldnt pick anyone better? That’s the real problem, I do agree Trump is effing things up I’m totally with you. The reality is we need better politicians and more options than these two mo--ns. Trump su-ks I totally agree but what was the next best option Kamala? Who thinks she might be black one day, and another day she’s Indian and another day she might be white? Yes let’s bring a DEI to run this country. When you tell people she wouldn’t change a thing on what Biden did, that was the nail in the coffin. Give me a better candidate too choose from? I’m all ears or better yet have all these illegals without being vetted and ki-l innocent Americans. Again give me another candidate that’s better?
I honestly don't understand how people aren't putting two and two together.
not to mention ACA subsidies not being renewed and people dropping their insurance because they could no longer afford the premium.
what blows my mind is that people would still vote for him when he literally said he was going to cut Medicare and Medicaid... like hello?
that's our entire bread and butter. I can say I wasn't aware the changes in policy would hit the company this hard and cuts would be made this soon. we're in a whole a-s war nobody asked for and the cost of living is going to continue to increase and a global food shortage is coming due to what's going on with the Strait of Hormuz.
Sure Jan 🙄
