It's remarkable how many Trump voters depend on programs liberals invented.
 

MAGA and Medicaid: Which States Have Highest Percentage of Beneficiaries?​


Anumber of the country's most Republican-leaning states have some of the greatest percentage of their population on Medicaid.

While President Donald Trump has said that Medicaid would remain "untouched," the prospect of funding cuts to the program would not only impact millions of Americans but also many of his own supporters.

Why It Matters​

After the Republican budget proposal was released last week, there was widespread concern that it could result in millions of Americans losing access to Medicaid as the program's funding might have been cut by billions of dollars in order to reduce government spending.

As Medicaid's main aim is to provide health coverage for those with limited incomes and resources, the possibility of cutting funding for the program sparked significant anger, as some 80 million Americans use it.

Last week, Steve Bannon, a former top Trump adviser, warned that those using Medicaid had to be "careful," given the new proposed budget, a warning that he said also extended to MAGA supporters.

According to the business magazine Fortune, the host of the podcast Bannon's War Room said in an episode that was released on Thursday: "Medicaid, you gotta be careful. Because a lot of MAGAs are on Medicaid, I'm telling you. If you don't think so, you are dead wrong."

Louisiana (32.4), Kentucky (28.3), West Virginia (28.2) and Arkansas (27.4) were among seven states that had more than 25 percent of their population on the Medicaid program, according to the health policy research website KFF.

All four were also states that voted for Trump in the 2024 election, and West Virginia is among the top five most Republican-leaning states in the country, according to analysis by the election website FiveThirtyEight.
 
It never ends:
1 - Libtard media outlets are in desperate need of clicks, hmmm.
2 - Create a headline that any and all dumbass drones will click on.
3 - Write a pathetic story that would never see the light of day if they had to pay for the paper to print it on
4 - Mindless parroting drones get a quick buzz and relief from their daily pain of being losers.
5 - Like dutiful little sheep they spread it like wildfire to the entire herd.
6 - The media outlet pockets the advertising dollars again. (ever notice that if you are unfortunate enough to click on one of these stories you get hammered with pop ups and flashing adds every 5 seconds blocking the actual story, it's far worse than the porn sites I remember)
7 - The buzz wears off like a shot of heroin, requiring even more the next time. The 'facts' are refuted, and the dream dies.
8 - Go back to step one.

As @anonymoose pointed out the 'voters' your referencing are all yours, the libtard Hive Masters have been building that constituency for decades, you should know this by now, dumbasses.
 
You know that pang you get when you see a person at stoplights asking for help? You quickly affix blame to them and think they are lesser people. That is what the wealthy feel when they look at you. You are lesser people and deserve as little help as possible. You do not deserve healthcare or assistance. If they can eliminate your jobs, good you do not deserve one. The corporate leaders get huge bonuses for moving work to 3rd world countries. They get them for eliminating jobs. They get them for ignoring environmental and work regulations.
Trump and Musk are the worst people to have in charge. They will help themselves because you do not matter to them.

Most people on Medicaid are lower income whites. That's Trump's base.

Not in Louisiana.
Blacks are not called blacks or Africans there. They’re called “democrats”.
I think it’s the same in Mississippi.
IDK about the other red states.
You post as though every voter in a red state votes republican.

Random and mostly incoherent.
 
The Left here doesn't grasp what's going on with Medicaid reductions by Trump.

Here's what's happening in a nutshell.

The Democrats in the Obama era passed Obamacare. Within that bill was a Medicaid expansion. Most of the cost of that expansion was to be initially picked up by the federal government. Over the first decade, the payments from the feds would taper off until the states were paying for that expansion.

Red (Republican) states generally refused to up taxes and take other measures to pay for the expansion while being almost forced to do it anyway. Blue (Leftist / Democrat) states started upping their taxes and putting measures in place to continue the expansion indefinitely.

Now, Trump is ending the federal support for the program, just as intended rather than continue to prop up the expansion that should never been put in place to begin with.

And yes, red states will see larger reductions in government paid for health insurance than blue states. The difference will be that you won't be paying far more in taxes to prop up that government health insurance, while high taxes are one reason people are fleeing blue states.
