Trump voters in for a shock as $800 billion Medicaid cuts hit home in MAGA stronghold
Teresa McNab, a Trump voter from Knox County, Kentucky, came home after dropping her daughter at school and found her husband Jackie having a seizure on the floor. Jackie, who had blood clots, died despite Teresa trying to save him before the ambulance arrived. He was only 45. Teresa and her daughter had to sell lemonade to raise money for his burial and gravestone. One small relief was that Medicaid paid Jackie's hospital bills. Teresa's story shows how important Medicaid is for poor families in rural areas like Knox County. But now that support is under threat due to Trump's plan to cut up to $800 billion from Medicaid, as stated by Telegraph report. Big Medicaid cuts may hurt Trump's own voters Trump wants the cuts to help fund $3.7 trillion in tax cuts, and is pushing lawmakers to pass it by July 4. These cuts would make 16 million people lose health insurance by 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Even though Republicans say the bill will help household income, there's fear it will mostly hurt the poor people who actually voted for Trump. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Out of the 200 countries that depend most on Medicaid, 84% voted for Trump in 2024. Knox County, where 72% voted for Trump, is one of the poorest places in the U.S. and 68% of people use public health insurance. These numbers show how risky this move could be for Trump politically, as mentioned in the report by Telegraph. Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon warned the bill might fail because 'MAGA is on Medicaid.' Pollster Frank Luntz says hardcore Trump fans will still support him even if they lose benefits. But Luntz also said working-class voters may turn against Trump if the cuts hurt them directly. Medicaid started in 1965 to help low-income people with healthcare. Live Events Medicare is for people over 65 and fully funded by the federal government. Medicaid is for low-income people and funded by both states and the federal government. Before Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, adults without kids were mostly not eligible for Medicaid, as per the report by Telegraph. The ACA let more low-income adults qualify, dropping the number of uninsured Americans from 44 million to 25 million. Trump's bill could undo those gains by cutting $793 billion from Medicaid over 10 years. Kentucky could lose $21 billion in federal funding and 277,000 people may lose coverage, says research group KFF. ALSO READ: Musk escalates feud with Trump, throws support behind nemesis Thomas Massie for his re-election New work rules and paperwork may make people lose coverage A big change in the bill is a new requirement to work 80 hours a month to keep Medicaid under ACA rules, saving $344 billion. The bill also saves $64 billion by making people re-check their eligibility every 6 months instead of once a year. Darren Bullock, a Trump voter who left the Democrats, might lose his Medicaid because of the new work rules, as mentioned by the report by Telegraph. Darren says jobs are hard to get in rural areas like Knox County, especially since he has no car, phone, or public transport access. Jennifer Tolbert from KFF warns that people aged 55–64, who often retired early from tough jobs, are most at risk. She says even people who do work might lose Medicaid just because they can't keep up with the extra paperwork. Teresa McNab, who now works as a full-time cook, says she can meet the work hours but has no time to do the paperwork due to caring for her daughter and elderly mom. Medicaid is also key to drug rehab programs in Kentucky, especially with the region's opioid crisis. Chris Ross, a former drug addict, says Medicaid paid for his treatment and helped him turn his life around. He now has a job, is married, and got custody of his kids, all thanks to Medicaid support. Daniel Phipps, who runs a rehab group, says most of his patients are on Medicaid, and cuts could harm these services badly, as stated by Telegraph. While the Republican bill exempts people in rehab from work rules, they might still lose coverage if they can't meet reporting demands. Tolbert adds that local hospitals in poor areas will lose money and may cut back staff or services as more people go uninsured. Politically, this could hit Trump hard in countries like Knox, where people strongly vote Republican but rely heavily on Medicaid. Chris Ross said people can't just ignore such big threats to their survival — even if they're loyal Trump voters, according to the report by Telegraph. FAQs Q1. What is Trump's plan for Medicaid? Trump wants to cut up to $800 billion from Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts. This may cause millions of people to lose their health insurance. Q2. Who will be most affected by these Medicaid cuts? Low-income families, especially in rural places like Knox County, Kentucky, where many people voted for Trump, could lose coverage or face harder rules.

Tibetan Govt-In-Exile Rejects China Stand On Dalai Lama's Successor: 'Offender Of The Faith'
Last Updated: The Central Tibetan Administration dismissed China's objection to Dalai Lama's successor, affirming only the Gaden Phodrang Trust can recognize his future reincarnation. The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), also known as the Tibetan Government-In-Exile, on Wednesday dismissed China's objection to the Dalai Lama's successor, saying that the Chinese government is the 'offender of the faith." CTA spokesperson Tenzin Lakshey said China has no role to play in the reincarnation process of any Tibetan religious leader. Earlier in the day, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama said that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue and only the Gaden Phodrang Trust will have the authority to recognise the future reincarnation, putting to rest uncertainty on whether he will have a successor or not after his death. The Gaden Phodrang Trust was founded by the Office of the Dalai Lama in 2015. The statement made by the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who is also called Lhama Thondup, on May 21, 2025, was released by his office on Wednesday, four days ahead of his 90th birthday. What Did China Say? China said the reincarnation of the next Dalai Lama must be approved by the Chinese central government. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning also reiterated that Beijing had to approve the identity of the successor and that it had to be done in China through a centuries-old ritual. During a meeting of the heads of Tibetan spiritual traditions on September 24, 2011, the Dalai Lama had stated that 'as far back as in 1969, I had made clear that people concerned should decide whether the Dalai Lama's reincarnations should continue in future." He had stated that when he would be 90 years old, he would consult the high Lamas of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, the Tibetan public, and other people who follow Tibetan Buddhism to evaluate whether the institution of the Dalai Lama should continue or not. 'I have received messages through various channels from Tibetans and Tibetan Buddhists living in other parts of the world requesting that the institution of the Dalai Lama should continue. I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue," his statement said. He added that the responsibility to recognise the reincarnation rests with the members of Gaden Phodrang Trust, who will consult heads of various Tibetan Buddhist traditions and the reliable oath-bound Dharma Protectors linked to the lineage of the Dalai Lamas. 'They should carry out the procedures of search and recognition in accordance with the tradition," the statement added. (With Inputs from PTI) First Published: July 02, 2025, 18:36 IST
