If Trump Makes Cuts to Medicaid, Texas Officials Could Seize the Opportunity to Further Slash the Program

State leaders have shown a decadeslong antipathy toward the health insurance program. If Trump makes severe reductions, it’s unlikely leaders would have the political will to make up any lost federal funds with state money, experts say.

The other person is definitely callous but like this is the obvious result of a Trump presidency.

Cruelty is the goal for Trump and his administration.

If we care about everything bad that will or might happen we're going shut down and give up. We only have so much bandwidth for terrible stuff.

- Medicare is the program with age based eligibility (primarily, disability can also be a qualifier).
  
  Medicaid is the program for the poor. Boomers likely will see cuts to Medicare, but this shit is just punching down on the poor.
