US Budget Cuts: Millions to Lose Healthcare and Food Aid

Proposed US budget cuts spark debate. The House GOP confirmed a plan to cut Medicaid funding to finance tax cuts for billionaires. This would leave 8.6 million fewer Americans with health care coverage in the next 10 years. The cuts also target the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), limiting nutrition aid to only US citizens and green card holders. Critics express concern about the impact on vulnerable populations. "Republicans are trying to give Trump a gift before his big birthday parade," said one commentator. The plan has ignited a heated debate, with supporters arguing it's necessary for fiscal responsibility and opponents highlighting the potential humanitarian consequences.
