Donald Trump's recent law significantly reduces federal support for Medicaid, threatening health insurance for 12 million people by 2034. A viral conversation illustrates the perplexity surrounding Medicaid cuts. One individual shared a chat with a brother who, despite advocating for the cuts, seemed unaware of the potential loss of insurance for children. This reflects a broader trend where voters support policies detrimental to their interests. Observers noted the brother's self-centered stance, prioritizing his children's insurance while disregarding the plight of others losing coverage.
"Dude has been banging the drum for this stupid spending bill for weeks and didn't even realize he was rooting for his own kids losing their insurance."
"It's the same thing with people who love the Affordable Care Act, [but] hate 'Obamacare,' and didn't spend the five seconds required to realize that they're the same thing."
"So just to clarify, he's good with the other 300,000 kids losing their healthcare, just not his own kids."
"He never had a single thought about other people. The whole thing was about himself."
