“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.

      Which is terrifying because the people who are actually responsible for this mess isn’t the same as the ones the shooters think.

      I have a fear what will happen instead is that the GOP will just send the military to deal with the civilians, as Project2025 envisioned.

      Not true. We’ve been losing people because of expensive healthcare for as long as I can remember, and so far only one insurance CEO has been capped.
