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.
AMA request: Someone from the 29% of Trump voters who are in FAVOR of Medicaid cuts.
They think Trump is getting rid of ‘’‘Obamacare’‘’
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.
If only this plan was written down somewhere in a like…Project 2025 handbook outlining the major objectives and methods.
If only.
If they could read, they’d be very upset.
like literally
*illiterally
28% too stupid or uninformed to know what’s going on.
1% very happy.
The leopards will be so unhealthy after all these faces, these medicaid cuts are gonna hit those poor leopards hard.
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.
Oh, they didn’t mean their use of Medicaid.
They meant all those other people using that waste of money Obamacare!
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
They didn’t think their social services would be cut. They were told that undocumented people were bleeding the system dry, and there would be plenty to go around once they were removed. A blatant lie that conservative media and social-network bots repeated endlessly; instead of the truth that, in fact, social services would be cut to pay for high-income tax cuts.
Reminds me of “PROJECT FEAR” in the brexit debate
Well, too bad. Because this is what they- and their uninformed vote asked for. They sewed it, we all reap it.
I believe you mean “sowed”.
Feel better?
I wasn’t trying to be mean, just educating.
