Big cuts to Medicaid reportedly on the menu for House Republicans
Big cuts to Medicaid reportedly on the menu for House Republicans
A list of options a conservative leader has circulated includes key elements of the failed attempt to repeal Obamacare, according to Politico.
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.

The "Your Parents Have Gotten Old Enough, Haven't They?" Act.
This is for Medicaid not Medicare.
- Medicaid = covers poor people
- Medicare = covers old people
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.
