Trump bill's health effects not noticed until after midterms

President Trump's tax and spending bill sets in motion nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and other health policy changes that could loom over the midterm elections.

- - - But the real effects likely won't be felt until well after the ballots are cast.

Yeah, I can almost see it now, in summer 2026...

The Democrat candidates are warning constituents about the healthcare cuts.

Meanwhile, FoxNews may be showing (probably nearly 24/7) interviews with people, asking if they have seen any healthcare cuts.

Um, I think that won't be the case.

@#2 ... Um, I think that won't be the case. ...

Why not?

That's the situation I see being set up here.

How does your opinion differ?

Possibly.

But this thread is about healthcare.

People will die. Whether it's measles or ICE or FEMA tapping out.

I do not disagree.

But this thread is about the health effects of Pres Trump's tax bill.

If you want to discuss those other aspect, please feel free to start up a new thread.

And, FWIW, I would likely be a participate of that thread.

This is how Trump always does it.

Remember the tax cuts for the middle class? Temporary originally.

Funny how they don't want to own the consequences of the "big beautiful bill."

It's almost as if they know they're lying ...

Ok, people will start to lose their insurance THIS YEAR, because subsidies will be eliminated THIS YEAR and people won't be able to afford it.
