  Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

In an interview with Elon Musk, former President Donald Trump stated he would not make changes to Medicaid, emphasizing his reluctance to alter the program. However, just hours later, Trump endorsed a Republican Study Committee (RSC) budget proposal that could significantly cut Medicaid funding. This budget plan, which aims to reduce federal spending, includes measures like converting Medicaid into a block grant or per capita cap system, potentially leading to reduced benefits or eligibility. This contradiction highlights the tension between Trump's public statements and the policy directions favored by some within his party, illustrating the complex dynamics of healthcare policy in the GOP.
