The biggest cuts in spending are in the Medicaid block grant section, where for the first two years, they’re pushing $15 billion in block grants, but thereafter it’s $10 billion. That’s a 30% cut (not counting the cut over what the current amounts are).

30% cut in Medicaid. That’s either 30% fewer people serviced, or 100% of people covered get 30% less coverage. Either way that’s a huge hit - more than the cost of an iPhone.

Hence all their “cutting costs” BS, because the costs they’re focusing on cutting are ones for their donors. And their donors view giving us healthcare as a cost, much as they see creating jobs as a form of altruism.
