Shame there’s nothing funny about it: the truth is that for Republicans, killing Obamacare (and Medicare more generally) remains the first order of business.
I would actually argue that Medicaid is FIRST on their target list. After all most of them hope to get old (if they aren’t already) but they all believe that they will never be poor. Because poor people obviously must have done something to DESERVE to suffer. And if THEY can’t benefit from it, than obviously the government shouldn’t be doing it.
