I didn't vote for Trump.

Most people agree Medicaid is a worthwhile program. Both of my Wife's parents died on Medicaid in a long term memory care unit. Dad for two years and mom for four years. The six years prior to that of living in assisted living facilities burned through their life savings. I've been through the 5 year look back of finances to qualify for Medicaid. I'm glad the program exists.

Get back to us when you know exactly where these cuts are being made instead of a bunch of hair on fire opinions.

Access to affordable health care, housing, and nutritious food is necessary for all Californians to thrive. But Republican federal budget proposals would pave the way for deep and harmful cuts that would take health coverage, nutrition assistance, and other essentials away from millions of Californians who are already struggling to make ends meet in the face of persistently high inflation and the high cost of living. These cuts would increase poverty and hardship, widen race and ethnic inequities, and make it harder for workers to maintain their jobs in exchange for funding huge tax giveaways for the wealthy. This fact sheet shows how many residents in each of California’s congressional districts benefit from vital programs at risk of being cut to illustrate the potentially wide-reaching impact cuts could have in communities across the state.

Trump, Johnson press Republicans to back funding planA White House meeting today will be key in lining up support to avoid a government shutdown.Meredith Lee Hill03/05/2025, 11:47am ET
President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson still have to convince a small group of fiscal hawks to back their funding plan to avert a government shutdown by the March 14 deadline.A group of House Freedom Caucus members and other budget hawks who are deeply skeptical of supporting short-term measures to fund the federal operations are heading to the White House Wednesday for a 2 p.m. meeting with Trump. The president is expected to push for Republicans to fall in line and vote for Johnson’s continuing resolution to fund the government at current spending levels through the end of September.///////////////////

it passed because trump insisted just  like he will pressure the senate. he even pressured the senate during last night's convention.

https://nlihc.org/resource/house-votes- ... d-tax-cuts  The House voted on January 25 to pass a budget resolution that will provide the blueprint for a massive reconciliation bill. The bill passed on a razor-thing margin, 217-215, with all Democrats and one Republican voting against. “Reconciliation” is a legislative process that allows for faster consideration of a bill by limiting debate time and suspending the Senate’s “filibuster” rule, allowing a bill to pass the chamber with a simple majority of 51 votes rather than the 60 votes usually required. With Republicans in control of the House, Senate, and White House, they can use reconciliation to pass a bill without any support from Democrats. The outline passed by the House aims to enact many of the Trump Administration’s top priorities, including providing over $4.5 trillion in additional spending for defense, immigration enforcement, and extending tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations that were included in the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017,” but are slated to expire later this year. In exchange, the bill also calls for at least $2 trillion in cuts to federal spending, primarily targeting Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as well as clawing back funding provided in the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.”
