It isn't IF..it's WHEN.

Other facts that Trump and his Republicans lackeys care nothing about:

Approximately 1.75 million veterans, or about 1 in 10, rely on Medicaid for their health care. A significant portion, around 40%, rely solely on Medicaid for all their health care needs. For the remaining 60%, Medicaid supplements other coverage like VA, private insurance, or Medicare.
