A recent KFF Health Tracking Poll reveals substantial public anxiety regarding proposed Medicaid cuts in congressional legislation, signaling significant unease across party lines. As many as 11-16 million people may lose coverage if the bill passes. Notably, two-thirds of Republicans enrolled in Medicaid express worry about the impacts on their families. The poll indicates widespread concern about more uninsured individuals leading to strained healthcare systems, with 72% of the public fearing an increase in uninsured rates. This data highlights the potential political repercussions for Republicans if they dismiss voters' concerns.
