Republicans Unveil Steep Cuts to Medicaid

"Let's be clear, Republican leadership released this bill under cover of night because they don't want people to know their true intentions," the committee's ranking member Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) said in a statement.

"This is not trimming fat from around the edges, it's cutting to the bone. The overwhelming majority of the savings in this bill will come from taking health care away from millions of Americans," Pallone added.

"Democrats have defeated Republican efforts to cut health care before and we can do it again."

"A 2023 CBO report found work requirements for people aged 19-55 would save about $109 billion over a decade at a cost of 600,000 people becoming uninsured, at a minimum. It would also shift $65 billion in costs to states."

Coulda sworn I heard the Lyin' King say there wouldn't be any Medicaid cuts...

Linked article is from December 2023 and has nothing to do with Medicaid.

I support the cuts.

It's about time working Americans, especially the working poor, got exactly what they voted for.

They will literally die to own the Libs. Good Job, idiots.
