Yet the program has cost taxpayers $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled less than 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible.

Only 6,500 participants have enrolled in a program that has cost taxpayers more than $86 million — a warning for other states looking to impose restrictions on Medicaid in a second Trump presidency.

Today, Trump endorsed a House budget with $880 billion in Medicaid cuts and other low-income healthcare program cutbacks. This is the same Medicaid he professed to 'love and cherish.' They should know that Trump only keeps promises to his cronies, while the American people continue to pay the price.

Medicaid provides health coverage to 72 million Americans. Trump is trying to rip that away. Democrats are fighting to stop him.
