    While most Medicaid beneficiaries under age 65 are either Democratic or independent, 27 percent said they are Republican or lean Republican, including 19 percent who identify as Trump’s MAGA supporters, according to KFF.

    Among those GOP Medicaid recipients, the poll found three-quarters are worried that sweeping changes to the program would hurt their family’s ability to get and pay for care, and nearly 70 percent are concerned the cuts would lead to an increase in the uninsured and negatively impact providers.

    Overall, Democrats and independents were much more likely than Republicans to say they worry about potential negative consequences of Medicaid cuts. But nearly a third of Republicans and 26 percent of MAGA supporters who aren’t on Medicaid said they were concerned about their or their families’ own access to health care, the survey found.

      Foolosh ? stupid

      These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

      1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

      2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

      3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

      4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

      5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

    “I’ll cut medicaid.”

    “That’s just locker room talk. He didn’t mean that.”

    “Guess what…I’ve cut medicaid.”

    “This is unacceptable. Unbelievable. How could he do this to me? I’M ONE OF THE GOOD ONES!! Next time, if I’m alive, I’ll vote for another party.”

    “LOL. Yeah, about that. Can you remember when I said you’ll never need to vote again? Welllllll…”

    (Just kidding. His voters are so mind numbingly moronic and corrupt they would never vote for another party.)
