Medicaid is Being Dismantled, but it is not named Medicaid in State Programs

Life Lessons

Trump and the Republicans are performing the same sleight of hand magic trick all over again. Now, most understand Obamacare is not different from the ACA, the Affordable Care Act. They are the same federal program/Obamacare is the nickname that the Republicans gave the ACA to make it seem horrific.

Do you remember the large number of MAGA who did not realize they had Obamacare and were vehemently against it because they used the ACA for their health care? It took years for the truth to hit them: they were voting against their own interests simply because they didn’t know the name of their healthcare plan. Well, the Republicans are at it again.

Medicaid is NOT CALLED Medicaid in many states. States offer Medicaid under different names. All are federally supported Medicaid programs, but the word “Medicaid” does not appear in their names.

These people don’t realize that the “big beautiful bill” Trump supports will take away much of the healthcare they currently get. 17 million will lose the Heathcare once the big beautiful bill is law. 78 million of 340 million Americans use Medicaid.
