Big cuts to Medicaid reportedly on the menu for House Republicans
Summary
House Republicans are considering $5.7 trillion in federal spending cuts over 10 years, including reductions to Medicaid, food assistance, and clean energy subsidies, according to a Politico report.
Proposed Medicaid changes, like ending Affordable Care Act expansions and introducing block grants, could leave millions uninsured.
Food aid cuts could impact tens of millions, while reduced clean energy subsidies risk job losses.
Democrats strongly oppose the proposals, citing harm to families and job sectors, while GOP leaders face internal challenges passing such measures with a narrow House majority.

Ah yes. Denying me food and medical coverage will clearly help with my disability.
Make sure to give that money to the ultra wealthy as a bonus for destroying the planet

Rest assured, they are also planning tax cuts.
Leopards are gonna get so fat.
The "Your Parents Have Gotten Old Enough, Haven't They?" Act.
This is for Medicaid not Medicare.
So this is the "How can we fuck poor people even harder" act.
Most old people are also poor, checkmate!
And people on disability have Medicare and Medicaid so fuck them too
I always get those mixed up.
"Care for the elderly and aid the poor" was how it was explained to me once.
Because everyone loves their United-CVS-Kaiser Healthcare, right?
Republicans war against the poor is the only thing that matters to them. How christlike.
Watch as Ruben "immediately betrays democrats" Gallego is all for $6 trillion in Medicaid cuts. Arizona just can't catch a break.
Did something already happen with him that makes you think this would happen? I haven't seen anything that negative about him since he was elected so I'd really appreciate you saying your rationale.
Gallego goes all in on GOP’s Laken Riley bill
Ah I see. Thanks for the source! Fuck him.
Damn those pesky democrats for doing this to us! /s
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Big theft from the American Public on GOPs plans*
