BREAKING: MAGA congressman MERCILESSLY booed by constituents after claiming Trump's Medicaid cuts "protected" vulnerable Americans! Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood had an answer cued up to a question he knew was coming. But the audience wasn’t buying what he was selling. During a town hall meeting this week, Flood was asked a simple question: what are you going to do for people with disabilities who depend on government benefits? Flood immediately turned to Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill." "Under the One Big Beautiful Bill, we protected a system that if it had gone unchecked, it would not have been long-term available for the very people that are the most vulnerable," Flood began. As loud boos filled the room, Flood tried to continue. "The developmentally disabled, the persistently mentally ill, people that are of advanced age," he continued over the din, "We protected Medicaid in a bipartisan, common-sense way." The audience responded with even more jeers. The exchange captured a growing problem for Republicans trying to sell Trump's signature domestic legislation. Flood tried to sell the bill as protecting Medicaid, but independent analysts have reached a very different conclusion along with his constituents. Lest we forget, the legislation cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid over the next decade, according to congressional estimates. Health care advocates warn the reductions will force states to scale back services, leave vulnerable Americans without coverage, and put hundreds of rural hospitals at risk. Flood has previously acknowledged that some rural hospitals may be forced to abandon services and operate more like stand-alone emergency rooms as funding pressures mount. Flood also faced boo-birds when he praised the SAVE America Act, the legislation that requires proof of citizenship for voter registration but largely does away with mail-in ballots. At another moment, a participant asked Flood, “When are you going to call up President Trump before he bankrupts this country?” But it was the reaction to the Medicaid answer that was the most telling. The question wasn't about abstract budget numbers or partisan talking points. It came from someone asking about people with disabilities. Disadvantaged human beings that any government with a conscience should believe are worth the price of their care and more. When Flood answered by praising Trump's bill, the crowd answered for him.
