Summary
A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.
Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.
Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.
This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.
you knew this shit was gonna happen. so… why the fuck did you vote for him and the rest of the maga assholes?
oh yea… that’s right.
some of “those people” are helped by these programs, and you don’t care who else gets hurt–even yourself or your family, just so long as some of those nasty ‘un-deserving’ blacks or gays or immigrants or poors get “what’s coming to them”.
💯
On review, I think the “foreigner” should have been dressed in a hardhat and vest as well
Oh, they didn’t mean their use of Medicaid.
They meant all those other people using that waste of money Obamacare!
28% too stupid or uninformed to know what’s going on.
1% very happy.
0.1% would be generous for how many people should be happy.
Oh, they care now that it finally hurt them?
Whatever, at least maybe they’ll do the right thing for the wrong reasons next time.
You’d hope so (I do too), but history tells a different story.
AMA request: Someone from the 29% of Trump voters who are in FAVOR of Medicaid cuts.
Those are the rich ones.
There’s no way that 29% of Trump voters are rich. It’s more likely that some have bought in to the rhetoric so completely that they won’t ever understand the implications even if it kills them.
It probly breaks down to like
8% rich 10% healthy 21% haven’t been to a doctor in years
So, they don’t like not having healthcare, but enjoy concentration camps.
they think concentration camps are to help people with ADHD.
It’s always funny til someone gets hurt, and then it’s just hilarious.
Too bad for them. They are coming.
Something about a little horse having 20/20 after it’s left the barn too late.
In spite of that, reports I’ve seen claim that the Americans are actually generally satisfied with Trump’s conduct thus far
I’m European, can any American confirm this?
Oh I completely agree with you. Most of these headlines are taking tiny little bumps or 3 twitter users complaining, and blowing it up into what we all want to hear right now.
I have zero anecdotal evidence that any of the magas in my sphere have any regrets whatsoever.
