GOP Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Politico on Tuesday that he's received assurances that Republicans will get another chance to cut Medicaid after voting to support President Donald Trump's mega budget bill.

Trump's budget slashed more than $700 billion from Medicaid and imposed work requirements for Medicaid members to receive their benefits starting after the 2026 midterms. Now, Republicans like Johnson are seeking to further slash the Medicaid expansion from when the Democrats expanded under the Affordable Care Act.

“I think I pretty well have a commitment. They’re going to do that,” Johnson told Politico.

3. Whenever you hear "More Medicaid cuts"

You should interpret it as saying that your health healthcare costs are going to go up. Health plans got killed this year, and I expect to see big increases and less coverage in the renewal cycle at the end of the year.

Blame the health plans if you want, but MAGA is responsible.

4. They want to thin the herd

Plain and simple. Yes, they want to kill dissent ... literally.

5. I've been saying that population correction is going to happen.

Even if it's called culling the herd, it still comes out genocide.

They don't want anyone left but rich white people, with males
in charge and women as gestation machines.
