60% : "In reality, it preserves and strengthens Medicaid for children, mothers, people with disabilities and the elderly -- for whom the program was designed.
44% : The Energy and Commerce plan also hits on hot-button social issues -- proposing, for instance, to cut federal funding for groups like Planned Parenthood and ban the use of Medicaid dollars for gender-affirming care for youth.
42% : States cannot levy more than 6 percent of a provider's income and must tax those on and off Medicaid.
38% : Committee Republicans have been under significant pressure to make politically difficult cuts to Medicaid as part of that effort.
30% : "Democrats will use this as an opportunity to engage in fear-mongering and misrepresent our bill as an attack on Medicaid," Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Sunday.
