GOP May Kick 300,000 More Off Healthcare to Help Find $200 Billion for Trump’s Iran War

“Republicans in Congress want to cut Americans’ healthcare to pay for more war in Iran. Let that sink in.”

“Republicans won’t think twice about *literally* sacrificing you to get their way.”

That’s how Democrats on the US House Ways and Means Committee responded to Axios’ Monday reporting on congressional Republicans considering more healthcare cuts to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s request for $200 billion to continue partnering with Israel for an unconstitutional war on Iran—including a potential ground invasion.

Other critics said:

* “Is this America First?”

* “You know who isn’t losing their government subsidized healthcare over this war that their government started? Israelis.”

* “Republicans would rather set money on fire than try to help a single American see a doctor.”

* “Cutting healthcare to pay for another regime change war in the Middle East. It’s like GOP want to lose in November.”

* “Are they calling this strategy Project Blue Wave?”

* “This should surprise no one: MAGA wants to pay for a war that no one wants by chipping away at your healthcare.”

Michael Hardaway, a geopolitical strategist who has worked for top Democrats, argued that they “must convert this into a House AND Senate majority in November,” noting that Republicans “took healthcare away from millions of Americans to pay for tax cuts for the 1%.”
