Mike Johnson Mocks Millions Who Could Lose Medicaid: 'Do Something Constructive'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

If President Donald Trump’s tax bill becomes law, millions of people are expected to lose access to Medicaid, the government insurance program for low-income and disabled Americans.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) doesn’t feel bad for them — and has argued, in fact, that stripping their health care is the “moral” thing to do. Johnson’s message to these millions of people on Tuesday was to insult them. “For heaven’s sake, do something constructive,” he said at a press conference on Capitol Hill, arguing the legislation simply brings “common sense” to the Medicaid program.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” would authorize another round of tax cuts for the rich — and it would be financed, in part, with sweeping cuts to Medicaid.

Some of these savings would be achieved by imposing work requirements on all supposedly “able-bodied” adults on Medicaid under the age of 65, demanding they either work or volunteer at least 20 hours a week. Medicaid contains strict income caps mandating that recipients earn little money — so the new work requirements are effectively a demand that recipients toil in low-wage jobs in order to maintain their health insurance.
