While Trump was campaigning in New Hampshire, C-SPAN captured Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) saying that the president wants to lower health care costs for Americans.
„There are other mandated spending that President Trump wants to cut, like Medicaid,“ Gaetz said.

As of September 2023, more than 88 million Americans are enrolled in Medicaid, or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). More than 39 million Americans were children enrolled in CHIP or Medicaid.
Congressman Gaetz said if playing cards When he returns to the White House, he plans to target children and people with disabilities with health care spending cuts.
Trump talks about building a wall and rants about the deep state and conspiracies he claims are being waged against him, but what's left unspoken is the destruction that will come with Donald Trump's return to the White House. This is a major policy issue.
Harming children and people with disabilities is part of President Trump's plan for a second term. Someone will have to pay for the expanded tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations he plans to extend when he returns to the Oval Office.
Matt Gates said the quiet part out loud. MAGA is going to make children suffer so that the rich can get even bigger tax cuts.
