Is Trump Using Presidency For Personal Financial Gains Like Dems Say?

GOP Cuts Medicaid, Breaking Trump’s Promise To Americans

Republican senators are pushing an amendment that would significantly cut Medicaid funding, contradicting former President Trump’s promise to protect the program. The proposal targets Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act by limiting enhanced federal funding to only disabled individuals with dependent children, starting in 2031. Supporters, including Sen. Rick Scott, argue the policy allows states time to adapt without removing current recipients. Critics warn it would weaken Medicaid’s support for low-income Americans over time. The amendment, if passed, could raise total Medicaid cuts under the Senate bill to over $1.24 trillion, making it one of the largest reductions in the program’s history. The move has sparked tension within the GOP, as it conflicts with Trump’s repeated assurances during his presidency and 2024 campaign that Medicaid would remain untouched. The debate now highlights growing divisions over healthcare policy in the party’s broader spending agenda.
