Half of Republicans have a family member on Medicaid, critics say
Original: One out of two Republicans have a family member on Medicaid. Vote accordingly! # TrumpMustGo # KingOfTreason # Republica
A widely shared claim on social media asserts that one out of every two Republican voters has a family member who relies on Medicaid, the US government health insurance programme for low-income Americans. The message urges people to vote with that fact in mind, framing Republican policy as a threat to their own families' healthcare coverage.
Why now: Ongoing debate over Medicaid cuts in US politics has people highlighting that the programme's beneficiaries include Republican voters themselves.
