That's not too far off. I saw a stat a few years ago that FedGov (Medicaid, etc.) was responsible for paying 40% of all medical bills in the US.

If they're paying taxes I have no problem with them taking back money from the government they never agreed to give in the first place and have no say on how is spent.

Trump Won Medicaid Recipients in 2024


First, this article is behind a paywall.

Second, I searched the Internet and this is the only poll stating such.

This was ChatGPT’s answer:


quote:

Do any other polls claim that Trump won Medicaid voters in 2024?



quote:

I could not locate any widely cited poll other than the Morning Consult survey that claims Donald Trump won a majority of voters who rely on Medicaid in the 2024 election.



Is it possible this poll is an outlier?



I didn’t even check out the other article due to this.

Because the people in charge of approving people will approve anyone that's the same skin tone. Try getting approval if you're white.

JBE expanded medicaid eligibility. He bragged about it.

37% of California and 39% of NY is more than triple the other states’ total population combined

Roughly 22 million people compared to 7.5 million.

Quick google says, California has 15 million on Medicaid and Louisiana has 1.6 million.


California is the true welfare state.

No, it isn't. If you read the rest of the links you would understand why

Here is another

71 percent of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts

Steve Bannon knows

“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.”

Does not equate to “‘most Medicaid recipients voted Trump”.

Once again, you can thank JBE for increasing Medicaid in this state by a large amount.

At some point we all need to ban together and just stop paying taxes.
