GOP defends Medicaid cuts in Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' with weird talking points about basement dwellers
Briefly

The tax and spending bill is expected to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare by $1.1 trillion, resulting in 11.8 million Americans losing health insurance by 2034. GOP politicians suggest these cuts aim primarily at adults aged 29-35 who are viewed as not participating in the workforce. This perspective aims to create a narrative around entitlement programs, likening the targeted individuals to past stereotypes such as the 'Welfare Queen'. Notably, a poll indicates that even a majority of Trump voters oppose cuts to Medicaid, despite Trump’s claims that the tax bill would not affect it.
"They shouldn't be going to a 29-year-old guy who's living in his mom's basement choosing not to work."
"My message to Illinois Democrats crying about @realDonaldTrump kicking able bodied men and Illegals off Medicaid: Young men, GET A JOB. Get out of Mommy's basement."
