“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.

    Your point is very valid.

    But even just one billion is more than a whole family could spend in multiple lifetimes!

    The difference between a million and a billion dollars is basically a billion dollars, while at the same time a million dollars is more wealth than a VERY large majority of Americans will ever see.
