They also want Federal employees to quit so they can be replaced with loyalists which would be worst case scenario. These replacement people would be there for years to come undermining future administrations

This doesn't produce productive people or societies.
It exacerbates & creates immediate & delayed hardship & problems that cascade in ways that are corrosive to civil society and cost ten times as much to deal with while exponentially increasing inequality of opportunity.

Conservatism.

So, the republicans figure many will use the options available to them to cut Medicaid eligibility in their states, such as backing out of the Medicaid expansion. Congress can then pretend they aren't responsible for the cuts, will say each state is just doing what they think best for themselves.

A lot of the Medicaid section, like "Equalize Medicaid Payments" and "Lower FMAP Floor," is about shifting costs from the federal government to state governments. The states - especially the poorer and more rural ones - won't be able to afford that.
