Medicaid is a popular program that covers 72 million people. The majority of U.S. adults across party affiliations oppose cuts to Medicaid. Nevertheless, Republicans in Congress want to pass deep and damaging cuts to Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for wealthy people as part of their budget legislation. This has led to enormous pushback, and some Republicans are now claiming their changes would not hurt eligible people who are enrolled in Medicaid to receive the health care they need. This is false. Republicans’ push to cut Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars has led them to consider a set of policies that would, indeed, harm Medicaid enrollees.

    Or. Or they will succeed in convincing the brain rotting american public that the problems they are causing, were in fact caused by Liberals and foreigners.

    Think about it. It’s what they have done for decades, why would that change now?

      The majority of the American population is ignorant enough to believe the lies of their abusers so long as they have an R next to their name. This is a self perpetuating cycle at this point as each subsequent generation is intentionally less educated than the last.
