See the full report for a more detailed list of findings. In general, while people had some complaints about Medicaid, most seemed to value their coverage and both Trump and Harris voters seemed concerned with reducing spending to the program. (9/9)

When asked to respond to proposals to reduce federal Medicaid spending, participants appealed to policymakers to consider how these changes would negatively impact people. The message of several Trump voters to policymakers was to focus on improving Medicaid instead of cutting it. (8/9)

Both Trump and Harris voters said that losing Medicaid coverage would be “devastating” and would lead to serious consequences for their physical and mental health. (7/9)

If work requirements were introduced to Medicaid, participants who were working generally felt confident in their ability to meet the requirements, but some worried about the burden of monthly reporting requirements when those were described to them. (5/9)
