71 million people are on Medicaid and about to lose access to healthcare
I don't see why people are saying this. People on reddit are saying, "I'm on medicaid, I'm' going to die."
There are 71 million people on medicaid. It's getting a 12% cut, and that will harm some people. But how do you equate it to a 100% cut?
Look at this graph. Reducing medicaid by 12% takes it down to $700B which only rolls it back to the level of 2021 or 2022.
And this reduction is supposed to phase in over the next 10 years. That means it will never go that low unless Democrats never hold the Presidency and majority in Congress in the next 10 years.
