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.

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.
