Trump’s War on Medicaid Is Getting Personal for Families

Original version ·

The administration is cutting off life-saving support for trans teens, and even their own supporters are starting to look at the collateral damage.

A lifelong Republican voter in California just found out that party loyalty doesn't shield her family from the current political crusade. With Trump actively blocking Medicaid funds, the state is being forced to navigate a nightmare where essential care for trans youth is being treated like a bargaining chip.

It is one thing to debate policy in a news cycle, but quite another when it is your own kid’s medical access on the line. The disconnect between shouting about 'small government' and simultaneously using federal purse strings to dictate private family healthcare is becoming impossible to ignore.

Political theater rarely stays in the theater when it starts hitting bank accounts.
