Both Trump and Harris voters opposed cuts to the program fearing that Medicaid spending reductions would jeopardize the program and take away access to health care for poor people. Participants opposed cutting Medicaid funding to pay for tax cuts that they did not believe would benefit them. (4/9)

Great new work from @kff.org --
When asked about the consequences of losing Medicaid, a 55-year old Trump voter from Oklahoma said "For me it would, it would probably lead to death, and that’s kinda harshly speaking, but it’s the way that it would be."

Medicaid covers 72 million people, more than one out of every five people in the U.S.
If the Trump administration's funding freeze extends to Medicaid, every state would be affected.
Medicaid is the largest source of federal revenue to states. The ripple effects of a freeze in Medicaid payments would be enormous, affecting hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors.
