President Trump endorsed a House GOP budget proposal that may result in significant cuts to Medicaid, which provides healthcare for over 70 million Americans. This endorsement came just hours after he stated in an interview with Elon Musk that he would not touch Medicaid. The GOP budget blueprint necessitates severe spending cuts to facilitate proposed tax cuts. Trump's earlier assurances included not altering Medicare or Medicaid, though the new budget suggests targeting these programs, raising concerns among the public and experts about the implications for vulnerable populations.
Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview that aired on Tuesday night, 'Medicare, Medicaid, none of that stuff is going to be touched.' This pledge came right before he endorsed a House GOP plan proposing significant cuts to Medicaid.
Trump's endorsement of the House Republican budget plan contradicts his previous claims, as the budget is linked to massive cuts that could adversely affect Medicaid, the program he professed he would not cut.
