Republicans worry Medicaid cuts would hurt their communities, poll finds
Briefly

A recent KFF poll revealed over 40% of Republicans are apprehensive about significant Medicaid cuts harming healthcare providers and causing insurance loss. This concern arises amidst GOP conflicts over Medicaid spending cuts tied to Trump's tax and immigration plans. Notably, 75% of GOP Medicaid recipients worry about losing healthcare access. These fears aren't exclusive to enrollees; nearly a third of all Republicans share similar worries. The data illustrates Medicaid's broad popularity and importance, transcending party lines as a vital resource for many Americans.
Medicaid is really a popular program, and a large majority of Americans do not want to see decreases in spending. These findings reflect that many people, whether or not they rely on Medicaid, see it as vital to their communities.
While Democrats and independents were far more likely to express concerns, the level of worry among Republicans reflects Medicaid's appeal across party lines.
