While most Medicaid beneficiaries under age 65 are either Democratic or independent, 27 percent said they are Republican or lean Republican, including 19 percent who identify as Trump’s MAGA supporters, according to KFF.

Among those GOP Medicaid recipients, the poll found three-quarters are worried that sweeping changes to the program would hurt their family’s ability to get and pay for care, and nearly 70 percent are concerned the cuts would lead to an increase in the uninsured and negatively impact providers.

Overall, Democrats and independents were much more likely than Republicans to say they worry about potential negative consequences of Medicaid cuts. But nearly a third of Republicans and 26 percent of MAGA supporters who aren’t on Medicaid said they were concerned about their or their families’ own access to health care, the survey found.
