| robo... | How is this up for debate? The tax cuts are mostly going to people that don’t need the relief. The rest of us will still need to pay medical bills, but a larger portion. |
| wlkm... | Healthcare is not insurance. People Should be encouraged thru benefits to exercise, not smoke, not drink and eat more heathy |
| ksdb... | The federal government is NOT saying to reduce Medicaid funding…they are proposing that the states pick up their portion, as it was designed. |
| os2w... | It becomes an addicting drug if we continue to expand Medicaid. Enough. |
| joyc... | The burden, beside alot more sick folks, will be on hospitals So the rich can have a tax cut? How does that trickle down? |
| sang... | I am disturbed to see 18% of people (most likely educated) voted for tax relief over healthcare. How did we become such a selfish country! |
| serg... | Taxes are already low. Medical care is a priority |
| came... | Keep illegals off of Medicaid |
| zend... | If we want to reduce waste , maybe we should look at the $8 million a day being paid to Musk. |
| djbk... | We must protect the vulnerable. |
| zack... | Once people find out of much fraud and waste is involved in this system they will support cuts |
| limi... | A healthy America is our best investment. |
| vero... | The state should take care of the people and give education and health |
| pwki... | There is a ton of fraud going on in the Medicaid sector. Siphoning out the fraud is very needed. |
| pete... | No healthcare cuts period. |
| sher... | Based on the results of this survey, I'm not sure how the Trumpster Fire got elected, but I can hope that America is coming to its senses. |
| kare... | Every person in the United States deserves affordable insurance and access to healthcare. Shame on the GOP. They do not represent the people anymore in anyway. |
| agai... | Some seniors are at poverty level. This is shameful. Take care of our elderly. |
| anni... | Rich people need to pay more taxes not less. |
| rich... | There will have to be an alternative to this heath service! |
| jane... | Those who are on Medicaid really need the coverage. Other countries provide socialized medicine to all residents. It works for those countries and could work for the U.S. A country is only as good as it treats the weakest and most vulnerable among their population. |
| drly... | Cut the defense budget and eliminate tax cuts for billionaires instead. |
| saca... | Bait and switch! If ACA is cut and the poor are not covered, costs for indigent care is passed onto tax payers and studies have shown those costs are higher than ACA. So, if cut, the costs go up to the tax payers. |
| rmac... | The fraud needs to be cut |
| pro.... | Considering how behind America's is on taking care of its people compared to poorer countries in the world when it comes to education, water and food safety, citizens financial protections, and the lack of work life balance and real buying power in relation to living costs, healthcare should be free and a priority.. |
| tenb... | Absolutely not. Increase taxes to those billionaires. |
| acke... | This is a plan to make millions sick and unable to afford medical care. Trump doesn’t give a damn about poor people. He fooled them into voting for him and now they are on their own to deal with his numerous actions to harm them. Revolution time? |
| jdub... | With all of the saving DOGE is creating, they can now expand healthcare coverage to all Americans who don’t have it. Automatically, anyone with the social security number, should be covered. |
| jdd0... | Any savings should be used to reduce the deficit. |
| rgto... | For those that need it - cut the excess, don't subsidize those making more that the minimum. |
| cfpo... | Taxes should increase on the wealthy and corporations . Healthcare must be available for everyone. |
| ham3... | We need to get this sized right |
| alex... | It should be fucking free for everyone who makes under $100k/year! $20k is a fucking joke! |
| nedr... | With checks and balances a lot of fat could be trimmed without risking the health of our country |
| cbni... | Healthcare is more important than the bottom line |
| gaje... | Healthcare should be available to all of our citizens. However, it should be looked at in a way that it is not abused and it should apply to those things that will prevent serious illness penalties for fraud should be narrowly, constricted and severe.I Am conservative yet I think the taxes should be used to some extent to help those in need of healthcare. |
| pfor... | Once again, Trump is not living up to his campaign promises of bringing prices down. Cozying up once again to his billionaire buddies with tax cuts. |
| lesl... | There are plenty of other ways to raise money without killing people. |
| midc... | As long as tax cuts don’t go just to the wealthy |
| fcse... | Health trumps wealth |
| dere... | Absolutely not find the funds somewhere else dtop hurting the people that have paid and need it |
| susa... | Lift people up. Don’t step on them. |
| chri... | What is done with the feedback you're asking for? |
| john... | Hey, thinking about my wealthy relatives who have a son on Medicaid....and they are hiding the income they provide to him (a house and a truck and monthly spending money). So yes I'm bitter. Actually, I believe healthcare should take priority except for them! |
| idiv... | We need a healthcare system like this so the local hospitals dont end up with full ERs. People will use an er for cold flu etc when they should go to a doctors office. Everyone deserves solid healthcare. |
| land... | Cost cuts are necessary but Medicaid reductions need to be carefully reviewed for negative consequences |
| thef... | I do not support cutting healthcare to poverty level households in order that corporations and million/billionaires get to pay less tax. Trump’s tax cuts are never for the poor or middle income…only ever for the ultra rich. |
| avaa... | Cut the wealthy and make them pay more to fund taxes |
| kris... | You are not addressing the waste and lack of oversight in the Medicaid program. Much like all of the other government programs that DOGE is no exposing. The government employees running these programs need to be held accountable for not wasting the money in the Medicaid bucket. So when you ask is healthcare more important than tax cuts you are not asking the right question. The question should be “are government employees responsible for running Medicaid and other programs more diligently and efficiently?” The answer is YES. |
| jj.j... | I know some people who are on medicaid to save on healthcare but their income is higher than the poverty level. I upport state level support and not federal funding. |
| zcd1... | Billionaires don't need or deserve tax cuts, period! |
| fee.... | Tax relief to taxpayers that are unaffected by Medicaid cuts would be immoral. |
| jflo... | Selfishness is not an American value |
| erwi... | I support reviewing unnecessary expenses and loopholes. However, where hardship exist even if it is above poverty line, medicaid must be provided. Health insurance is too expensive and fixing corporate greed on insurance is what needs higher priority. Otherwise, all we are doing is removing healhcare from people who need it and continue to make insurance companies richer and unaccountable. |
| hcam... | Why does the government need to make a profit from healthcare - it should be a basic human right. |
| kfhe... | I have witnessed many receiving Medicaid that do not warrant the assistance. Medicaid, just like other agencies, need to better scrutinize applicants and current recipients far better to ensure accuracy. |
| clau... | Medicaid reimbursement rates are already unfavorable when paying for physicians, in-home health care, nursing homes and acute care services. Many of these services are opting out of Medicaid participation due to financial losses, and those that hang-on provide poor care. Two examples include nursing homes that are increasingly reliant on a foreign workforce (that soon will be drying up as Trump anti immigration policies are enforced) because many Americans are unwilling to do the hard work associated with personal care for minimum or slightly higher wages. Hospitals are also reimbursed at a rate that doesn’t cover their costs resulting in low staffing and poor care. Just think, now if hospitalized, patients are urged to have family or friend advocates present to ensure care is provided. |
| c.ma... | Cuts would take from the poor give to the rich |
| duff... | How much do the rich need>>>>>> |
| kmr1... | Trump tax cuts will only benefit ultra wealthy |
| katg... | Medicaid not only allows low-income people to get health care, it supports vital areas of special need--people with disabilities (pays 43 percent of care), long-term care for elderly (pays 60 percent), addiction and behavioral health (dominant payer), maternity care (single largest payer). Rural hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes will fail. |
| char... | I don't know why Medicaid covers so much for so many who have never contributed. I have worked since I was 14, saved and lived below my means to retire, and paid my whole life into a system that has seemingly included lazy as a disability. The social programs were never set up or funded for this. The government also funds [from our taxes] many charities who hand out to those who do not want to work. When I worked in property management I saw so many recipients who used the system to get rent, utilities, child care, food, education, money and transportation free. They also received money, child care, food, clothing and transportation from local charities. ??? And this is a small town! They were able bodied. Who needs child care when they don't work? I worked, went to college, paid child care....lazy should not be the criteria for assistance. |
| sama... | There is massive fraud and price gouging. |
| 13lj... | The monies that go into social security for all this time, were suppose to be for the working Americans that have paid into this for eons!! The money was not suppose to be used for other things which it has grossly been hacked! We Americans work hard to reach retirement & have that money accessible to aid us into our “old age”! Taking away what we’ve already given to for our lifetime of work is ludicrous & so unfair!! Please leave Social Security alone for our healthcare & survival! Seeing it handed out to non-deserving individuals is tough to swallow!! It is paid for and earned by those of us who have contributed their entire life!! |
| tubi... | not only should healthcare take priority, it should be heavily scrutinized to assure there is no profiteering as seen now. |
| benj... | Elon and the other guy are white supremacist grifters. The only reason our country doesn’t have free healthcare and education is because they don’t want POC to get it. |
| skid... | Basic healthcare should be a human right. The identification , prevention, and early treatment of disease is the most cost effective financially and from a human well-being standpoint |
| jtay... | The 85% suggests the same mindset that caused Greece to blow-up. How much would it save us to stop giving free healthcare to illegal aliens - because for starters, they’re illegal. FEMA was funding this and then didn’t have money for the disasters they were supposed to fund. |
| maar... | The question is set up in a biased format. Healthcare needs reform (e.g. pretreatment pricing disclosure; pricing caps, etc.) If we are going to maintain that healthcare is a right then we need to regulate it in the manner that we regulate other rights. |
| mary... | It makes no sense - from humanitarian, public health, common decency standpoints - to take basic health care coverage from the poorest people so that the richest people can become richer. |
| lw63... | I am so happy to see the results of this poll. Makes me still believe there is hope behind the Musk/ Trump fiasco. |
| lqbh... | The uber rich are throwing away (killing) the rest of us. |
| pirn... | We need to consider how many healthcare worker jobs will be lost |
| cdye... | Tax cuts for Billionaires should not be the priority! |
| tota... | Reducing funding will ultimately INCREASE health care costs. ER visits will increase and people will be unable to get care for their chronic conditions. When they are finally able to get care it will cost substantially more $$ in the long run. |
| perm... | No non US citizen should be receiving Medicaid. Savings will result when those types of payments stop being made. |
| plau... | Healthcare in this country is in terribly lacking already. We need healthcare to be a top priority. |
| anne... | Fwed the economy towards growth |
| jame... | States should have some obligation to look after their citizens rather than relying on the Federal Government |
| jkoo... | Universal healthcare but better preventative measure to promote health.. not just ‘try’ to cure sick |
| pvec... | Do not lower capital gains or the corporate tax, if anything lower tax on ordinary income that will have a bigger impact on tax savings. Do not eliminate the estate tax |
| tere... | A false choice, both are achievable. Lessening individual income tax while economizing on healthcare is the goal. |
| john... | Choosing tax cuts over healthcare is inhumane |
| smit... | Medicaid is a huge umbrella of services that covers so many different healthcare needs! |
| nese... | But they should look into any wasteful issues. |
| coli... | The US healthcare system is an abomination. It’s all about money first, healthcare is a poor second. If we tore up the book and started again with a proper Universal Healthcare system focused on the people, got rid of all the corruption and collusion amongst insurance companies and their lobbyists.. the savings would be huge and fund other priorities. Elon, please get on it. |
| pssa... | Quit robbing the poor to reduce taxes on the rich! |
| brod... | This is a no-brainer in view of the fact that so many do not pay taxes. |
| glen... | Lots of fraud in medicaid. When I see a person on Medicade taking a cruise - I fee taken advantage of as a tax payer |
| dani... | Tax cuts for the ultra wealthy should not be extended. That money could take care of Social Security and Medicaid for years. |
| mr.c... | For tax cuts? To who? |
| vick... | To leave children and families without adequate healthcare is terrible. Many working people cannot afford healthcare without assistance. Terrible idea |
| hcfe... | Tax relief for who... billionaire's? Hell no! |
| troy... | Why is more information provided about the proposed tax cuts? |
| flyb... | INSTEAD,LETS RAISE TAXES ON THE BILLIONAIRES THAT ARE RUINING DEMOCRACY AND THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| kevi... | The GOP and this administration is attacking social safety nets to find a way to use it to line the pockets of the wealthy and corporations. Non of this will eliminate cost of healthcare, just reallocate who benefits. |
| davi... | Medicaid and Medicare needs reformed and refined. Too much waste and fraud taking away from recipients that actually need it and have paid into it. Reduce the top 3 tiers of leadership, and focus funds on recipients and the bottlenecks that are preventing eligible recipients from receiving benefits. |
| gccm... | i support cuts for debt reduction but not for tax cuts |
| royc... | We need to move toward National universal heath care for all. |
| jjmp... | What is FFOTUS is doing is literally criminal. |
| drse... | Our taxes have gone out of control The new Administration is working ast getting it Back under control- let them do the job we as Americans have appointed them to do |
| leli... | We do not need a tax cut for corporations or wealthy people. |
