At a town hall meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska, Representative Mike Flood faced intense criticism from over 700 constituents regarding his support of President Trump’s legislation, which may impact Medicaid. Attendees expressed concerns about potential cuts to social safety net programs, demanding more accountability. Many heckled Flood while voicing strong opinions on taxation and immigration. Despite the outcry, Flood defended the Medicaid changes during the meeting and an NPR interview, articulating that work requirements would be enforced for able-bodied individuals to receive healthcare benefits. He emphasized the potential economic advantages for Nebraska from the legislation.
Flood stated that the goal behind the changes is to encourage able-bodied individuals to work, indicating that those who choose not to work would not receive free health care.
Flood expressed his belief that the bill, including Medicaid reforms, would lead to significant benefits for Nebraska, stating that the changes are vital to the state’s economic future.
