While campaigning for Trump in New Hampshire, C-SPAN caught Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) saying Trump wants to cut Americans' health care.
“There are other areas of mandatory spending that President Trump is seeking to cut,” Gaetz said. For example, Medicaid.”

As of September 2023, more than 88 million Americans are enrolled in Medicaid, or CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program). More than 39 million Americans were children enrolled in CHIP or Medicaid.
Rep. Gaetz suggested that if Trump returns to the White House, he plans to target children and the disabled for health care spending cuts.
Trump talks about building a wall and rants about the deep state and conspiracies he claims are being carried out against him, but there is no mention of the destructive policy agenda that will come with Donald Trump's return to the White House.
Harming children and the disabled is part of Trump’s plan for a second term. Someone will have to pay for the expanded tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations that he plans to do if he returns to the Oval Office.
Matt Gaetz said the quiet part loudly. MAGA wants to make children suffer so the rich can get bigger tax cuts.
