Republicans hate Medicaid with a passion, and its part in the federal budget is almost as big as the entire non-security discretionary spending.
It will be cut.[/quote]
Good points. Medicaid is big, and I personally don’t have a problem with cutting it.
So if the Republicans plan includes cuts to Medicaid, why don’t they just say so?[/quote]
Because Politics is all about timing. If there were any ‘easy’ cuts to be made, they already would have been made. Nothing will stay in a budget without avid supporters, and why give those supporters time to group against the cuts?
