The GOP’s Medicaid Cuts:
Because Why Should the Poor Get Health Care?
Oh, who cares about Medicaid cuts? I mean, as long as it doesn’t affect your own wallet or healthcare, right? It's not like millions of people depend on it or anything.
The Republican plan to drastically reduce Medicaid funding and impose restrictive regulations poses a significant threat to the health and well-being of millions of Americans.
Under President Joe Biden, Medicaid enrollment reached a record high, contributing to the lowest uninsured rate in U.S. history. However, with the return of Donald Trump to the White House and Republican control of Congress, these gains could be undone.
The GOP’s proposed cuts to the $900-billion-a-year program, which provides vital healthcare coverage to approximately 79 million low-income and disabled individuals, risk leaving millions uninsured or underinsured. These changes could exacerbate health disparities, limit access to essential care, and place undue financial burdens on the most vulnerable populations, further deepening socioeconomic inequities in the country.
