Olivia Troye - This is not a drill. They're coming for Medicaid.

It’s happening in real time.

While most of the country is just trying to get by, House Republicans are racing to jam through a massive budget bill that would gut Medicaid and leave millions without healthcare. Over 14 million Americans are at risk. That’s not hyperbole.

This isn’t just a line item in a spreadsheet. This is a coordinated, calculated move to strip basic protections from the people who need them most. Seniors. Children. People with disabilities. Low-income families in red states and blue states alike.

What’s driving this? Trump’s second-term mega-bill, wrapped in “economic revival” language, extends his original tax cuts while slashing spending to pay for them. And where are they looking first? Healthcare. Medicaid is first on the chopping block.
