1. David Valadao y la Traición en el Distrito Más Dependiente de Medicaid.
El representante David Valadao (R-CA-22) se convirtió en el foco principal de la controversia. A pesar de representar al distrito con la mayor dependencia de Medicaid en el país (alrededor del 64-67%) y de haber prometido proteger el programa, votó a favor de los recortes, lo que generó una intensa reacción y promesas de ser destituido en 2026.

- Rep. David valadao just voted yes on the republican budget that slashes medicaid medi-cal, even though 67 of his district relies on it. 87 of the kids in his district! and just days ago, he said he wouldnt.
- David valadao promised over and over again that he would not vote to cut medicaid. He lied. This vote is a slap in the face to the very people he was elected to represent.
- Valadao in california def needs ousting. Highest percentage of medicaid recipients of any district in the country and he votes to cut medicaid.
2. La Ola de Indignación en Arizona: Ciscomani, Schweikert y Crane.
Los representantes de Arizona, incluyendo a Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), David Schweikert (AZ-01) y Eli Crane (AZ-02), también enfrentaron críticas por votar a favor de los recortes a AHCCS (el Medicaid de Arizona). Schweikert, en particular, generó controversia al desestimar las preocupaciones de sus electores como "quejidos y mojaduras de cama".
- This is my representative, juan ciscomani r-az 6. There are 186,00 people on medicaid in his district and he voted to screw them all over. Vets too.
- My rep. In congress is david schweikert. He just told a reporter with our states largest paper that people concerned about medicaid cuts are bedwetters.
- Eli crane admits that he voted to cut medicaid and threaten the health care of 200k arizonans in his district. Az02.
- Juan ciscomani once said he would not support any measure that reduced the federal match the state gets to provide medicaid coverage. It was a line he would not cross, he told the public. Well, he just tiptoed across it...
3. Promesas Rotas y el Impacto en la Salud Pública.
Numerosos congresistas republicanos, incluyendo a Young Kim (CA-40) y Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02), habían prometido públicamente o a sus equipos que no apoyarían recortes a Medicaid, solo para votar a favor del proyecto de ley. Las consecuencias de estos recortes, que financian exenciones fiscales para los ultra-ricos, incluyen el cierre de hospitales rurales y la pérdida de cobertura para millones de personas vulnerables.
- Young kim promised no cuts to medicaid, said she would vote against anything that damaged medicaid. Liar.
- Jeff van drew broke his promise to protect medicaid. Now more than 50,00 people in this district are at risk of losing their healthcare.
- In valadaos district, hospitals go dark while donor profits light up the night. He voted to defund medicaid, knowing the outcome would be less care and more cash for the wealthy.
- Cuts to medicaid will kill people. Americans across the country are counting on us. Hands off medicaid.
- The hospital im standing in front of, and hospitals all over america, are going to close because of the big ugly bill. David valadao voted to cut medicaid...
