"Trump’s promise not to cut Medicaid wasn’t a one-off — he used it specifically to argue that he was different from other Republicans. In May 2015 when he was preparing his campaign, he said, “I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid. Every other Republican is going to cut.”

I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.

Trump has also repeatedly promised, even after his election, that his health care plan would provide insurance for everyone. “We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” he said in January. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”
The American Health Care Act utterly breaks that promise. Not only does it roll back Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion, it would overhaul the entire Medicaid program to cap how many federal dollars states would get per enrollee, as Dylan Matthews explains. As a result, it would cause millions of people to be tossed off Medicaid without offering them an affordable alternative."

Indefensible! Weeny Fingers once again proves he is both a man without conscience or soul. The states most effected by these cuts are in the South, where he got his biggest support. Largest population for SSI receivers is concentrated in four Southern states and the Rustbelt.

"Insurance" is not something that everyone can have. Medicaid and other programs are not insurance.

Obastards Health care didnt provide for everybody either. Just for the illegals, and lazy who refuse to work. Working people couldnt afford his program. Obastard care is gone, Trump has provided a replacement. Problem is that the democraps, who profess to care for the poor, but butt rape them everytime, refused to allow it to pass the first time, so we had to get something in place. Then we make it even better.

Medicaid is a program being abused by the "make a fake reason so I dont have to work and EARN a check crowd". Trump said that those who can work, will not get it. Maybe you are a damned fool if you actually work, because you are working so they dont have to. Or maybe you are one of those bloodsuckers, and just pissed off that someone is going to cut you off the public tit. Get off your ass and support yourself,you leech.

He isn't cutting money to programs, he's slowing their growth to save them.

My grandmother always said she wished everyone who was able to work could and all those who don't work had to. Sometimes I think we've switched places, we are now the slaves working so others don't have to.

Absolutely factual. Why don't they get it?

Not everyone on Medicaid is sitting at home. These cuts are going to take Medicaid away from children and the elderly too. Also there are many people that are on
Medicaid that work every day just don't make enough money to buy the insurance they need. You all are under the wrong impression about all of this.
Any of you have type 2 diabetics ? Mick Mulvannie says that won't be covered at all. He said that people that have type 2 are lazy and eat the wrong stuff, so they did this to themselves so therefore NOT covered.

My understanding is he wants Medicaid to go back to the states because they are better equiped to find the people who really get medicaide deserve it.

Insurance is not a right.

Neither is Medicaid and the left needs to also understand it isn't insurance. Two separate issues. If we dealt with them as such it would clear up a lot of confusion.
