Why Slashing Medicaid Could Cost Trump B...

Chris Cuomo
About this episode

Chris Cuomo breaks down how Medicaid has become the battleground for political and economic fights in America, exposing the hypocrisy of conservative states that rely on federal funding while opposing government spending. He explores how Medicaid expansion has reshaped red and blue states, the real impact of cutting healthcare for the poor, and whether Trump will go along with Republican efforts to gut the program. With millions of Americans—including pregnant women, children, and people with disabilities—depending on Medicaid, Cuomo warns that slashing it for tax cuts will have serious consequences and explains why this issue could become a major political trap for Trump in 2025.
