“Millions” of people will lose health insurance if Republicans push these plans through.
Republicans are quietly pushing to slash Medicaid to fund Donald Trump’s tax cuts and immigration spending.
The effort has been subtle and behind the scenes, and disguised as a way to eliminate Medicaid fraud and protect the program’s most vulnerable recipients.
But several Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, are desperately trying to revive a yearslong fight to eliminate the expanded Medicaid eligibility requirements included in Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which gives millions of low-income adults health coverage.
They aren’t MAGA Republicans. They are just Republicans. Whatever remnants of sanity those people may have left is not calling the shots.
This is entirely the reason for the non-MAGA Republicans to lick boot, this is why they met Trump at those crossroads and sold their souls. They think fascism is a fair price if it means destroying a government that helps people not like them.
