Why reformers must win the 'big, beautiful' GOP Medicaid battle

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : To get there, of course, Republicans will have to face down an avalanche of negativity from congressional Dems: The endless expansion of Medicaid has been a pet project of theirs for two decades; the old guard and the young bloods are equally committed to it.
37% : From the ObamaCare law onward, Democrats national and state have messed with Medicaid to push, shove, sneak and creep the country ever closer toward full-on socialized medicine.
35% : This failure directly contradicts the point of Medicaid, which was to cover care for the poor (as Medicare did for the elderly), not for everyone in every state, no matter their age and earning ability.
31% : If Republicans are going to pass President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" tax- and spending-cut bill, they'll have to have to reckon with a hard truth: Medicaid is not sacrosanct.
19% : The truly tricky part, however, is going to be for Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson to turn around the GOPers already squawking, like Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon, who's drawn a public redline of no more than $500 billion in reductions.
