In polls and focus groups, Trump voters say they want to the government to do something about big medical bills. It's a big change from 5 years ago, pollsters say, and may not be on Trump's agenda.

That literally made me laugh out loud. Oh, he's going to do something about medical bills alright. We will see them skyrocket until the whole medical system collapses and no one can get care at all except the insanely wealthy.
#maga he will by eliminating accessibility and denying you and all #americans a way to pay for #healthcare and eliminating #medical #research. But, you'll have unpasteurized #milk, unaffordable #eggs, rotting teeth, #inflation, no jobs, no #vaccines and the #gulfofamerica. So, I am sure its fine.
HAHAHA you guys are about to get HUGE bills. Some of you on Medicare and Medicaid will have to start paying for private insurance with a 30% claim denial rate. CFPD used to protect your credit from medical debt and now it’s gone thanks to DOGE. You get what you vote for.
I also forgot to mention that the lower prescription costs that Biden negotiated are also gone. Prescriptions are more expensive now thanks to your Lord and Savior ❤️
If you want lower health care costs, you vote Democrat, get a public option, and pay for it by taxing millionaires. You still want lower healthcare costs?
Aren't working poor rural whites also the group with the most health problems, eg overweight, high blood pressure, heart issues & diabetes? Thanks to their hatred of regulation, they're lucky if their employer provides health insurance, at least to any extent. These people vote against themselves!
Where did Trump voters get the idea that he would ever lift a finger for them? They blame businesses for high prices, then turn around and say they want a businessman for President. Trump will only enable business to take even more advantage of his voters.
LOL! The eggs he promised would go down "on day one"
are at an all-time high, and inflation is creeping back up right along with the upcoming rise in unemployment. Yeah, he'll get right on those medical bills for you as well. 🤣
"it's unclear if he will" mate he extremely obviously has zero reason to, never has a proposal to do so, and nothing about the party had been at all favorable to doing so for at least a decade now
they could have had all that and fucking more, but they wanted to "own the libs" instead, so now they have nazis and science deniers and maybe no healthcare at all
not being able to get treatment should reduce the cost for them though
This just proves they were completely uneducated about who they voted for. These are the idiots dems need to trick like Trump did. Cause you can’t educate them. And you can’t preach to them. Start brainstorming how to trick a magat
I got it! Run our guys as republicans and lie to them like republicans do then we win with either a republican or a dem win. Then get in office and do what’s right for them
Of course, lowering medical bills isn't on the dumpster 🔥's agenda. Increasing it is with the cuts to Medicaid we've seen in the Congressional budget proposal.
Its been a few weeks, and MAGA/MUSK have done nothing but grift, steal, destroy, threaten, upset allies and lie. The president talks nonsense daily. The press have been silenced, the USA is finished. They are turning the USA into a 'shithole country'.
After everything that’s happened, they still think he has their best interests at heart? Good grief. It’s obviously not going to last—once things get more expensive and the services they rely on are cut, they’ll eventually turn on him.
only thing on trump's agenda is exploiting his voters down to their very life and when theyre done with that they will be left to die. They are begging to the people who will gleefully kill them.
We had our chance with Bernie in 2016, and again in 2020 and the DNC ratfucked us out of that. With either a D or an R in power I'd doesn't matter, we are all gonna be paying for big pharma's profits until... When?
We will all be lucky if the healthcare system survives. The cuts to Medicare and Social Security that the MAGAts just passed will be the first leg of the collapse.
😂 It’s called pissing in the wind. Poor MAGA better regroup from Jan 6 and storm the white house on April 1. Don’t let him fool you twice. Then you’re just stupid.
News flash all of his actions will increase cost of everything across the board. Once again choices have consequences and if you say "well we didn't think" clearly you weren't paying attention.
They think their medical costs are high now. Wait until the psychopaths they voted for eliminate ACA, Medicare and Medicaid.
They will find themselves uninsured and uninsurable "due to preexisting conditions."
Biden did to some degree and Trump undid most of it. Not sure why they believe he is going to do some grand gesture of lowering the cost of healthcare.
So, they continue to live in a fantasy world where they think he gives a damn about them. Sad. Health care access and cost is one of the single most important issues of our time and he will do nothing but make it all worse.
Question for GOP true believers: if fewer government employees is better, how many staff has DOGE cut from the second (post felony convictions) Trump White House crew, and how do total taxpayer funded salaries compare to levels during Biden and Obama administrations?
May not? These assholes are actively looking for ways to make medical care more costly for everyone and prohibitively expensive for some. The media needs to move on from the weasel words and report what’s actually happening.
Trump: Sorry, I can't lower your medical bills, but how would you like US to buy Greenland, annex Canada and take back control of Panama Canal?
Trump's supporters: 😍
If I remember right, he was asked during the campaign about child care costs. He said something like "$30,000/year? That's not much." He's completely out of touch.
Trump voters: he is doing something about high medical bills..he's making them larger. Glad you voted the felon in? Stop whining & own your part of this...
This is funny. They are not going to extend the ACA funding that ends this year. If you are on the ACA, your costs next year for premiums will be 2 to 3 times higher, easy. For some people, even more than that. Scary shit if you are not rich. And wait till we see food prices by summer time!
Ha, ha, ha, ha the joke is going to be on them once they realize the government cut off their health insurance and 47 does not care.
"Let them die of Covid, as long as they do it quietly!"
Considering he & his party are about to make medical debt explode by booting a bunch of people off medicaid, I don't think they care what their voters think or want.
They want him to do something we leftist progressives have been trying to make happen but have been blockaded by the rich at every step plus they're incredibly stupid to think he'd even do something like that.
You really use the word “may”? Come on NPR you know better than that. He has absolutely no intention of lowering any cost unless it benefits him and his billionaire friends directly and healthcare won’t.
"May not be on Trump's agenda." Yeah, may not be! Maybe he doesn't care! It's possible! I mean, who can say with any certainty. A+ trolling from NPR here.
Question for the journalist who wrote this story; When did Trump mention anything about decreasing the costs of medical bills? He campaigned on eliminating Diversity Programs, deporting immigrants (Black and Brown) and Tariffs. Where did these voters get the idea that this was a priority?
Unclear if he will?
He wants medicaid cut. That does the opposite, especially for his voters.
He undid the prescription price negotiations.
Come on. How is that unclear?
"...Trump voters want him to rein in health care costs"
He has about as much control over that as he does the price of eggs, or oil, or most things.
Gotta' be careful though; next they might try firing doctors.😉
Dammit. NPR, you used to be a good source for news. For awhile now, you’ve been playing some weird game of apologizing for right wing assholery and Trump buffoonery.
I don’t want you to go away but please fix your shit.
Really? Like they didn't know he would just fuck them over with the rest of us? They were so mesmerized by the cheeto face, intoxicated by the scent of his BS they just couldn't grasp the depths of his lies and intentions.
"Might not be on Trump's agenda" is a cowardly way of saying he has vowed to slash medicare and social security and other such services and is actively doing so.

It's just going the opposite way.
What led them to ever think he was going to do anything on healthcare or that he even cares about it?
The lack of awareness is staggering.
No wonder they left Twitter/X, they want to have rabid hate in their echo-chamber
They do not care about facts and the media feeds them more BS to keep that hate going
Most Everyone has always been concerned about big medical bills, especially since the promises of ACA have failed
He doesn't give a single shit about their healthcare bills
I am convinced if you asked folks for their deepest concerns and THEN assigned them a political party we'd have very few Republicans
It's pretty clear he won't.
Plan(ii): Laugh At Poor White Trash
are at an all-time high, and inflation is creeping back up right along with the upcoming rise in unemployment. Yeah, he'll get right on those medical bills for you as well. 🤣
Hillary, for like decades: we want to do more about hc.
Biden: we're trying to do more for hc.
Rs: BOO! SOCIALISM!!!
Idiot: I have concepts of a plan.
Rs: yay, we hope he does more for hc.
Also Rs: why is hc more expensive? 🥺

not being able to get treatment should reduce the cost for them though
lucky fucks
You mean "is not." Every single NPR political headline is full of weasel words
He said that would bring prices down.
They will find themselves uninsured and uninsurable "due to preexisting conditions."
The MAGA agenda is to cause as much misery and suffering among working Americans as possible!
-Not James Carville (yet).
Is it unclear?Or like, is it clear that that isnt going to be happening?
Kinda insults everyone's intelligence acting like it is even a concern.Based on what?
It's very clear he will not.
Your headline writers are not up to this.

Thanks NPR for such useful info.
Hahahahahahahshhs
But- he’s taking a serious look at it. Nobody knew how big health care is.
Trump's supporters: 😍
Let me save you some time: He does not care about people other than himself. He will not lower any costs.
Rs have made it very clear. Better health care is not on the agenda.
Yeah, he already rescinded Biden’s lowering drug costs initiatives.
If only the media hadn't spent the past eight years laundering all of his lies...
"Let them die of Covid, as long as they do it quietly!"
Trump Logic: If you're dead you won't have bills! LOL
LETS SEE THAT POLL!!
(F)Elon Musk said,”Only parasites need medical care!”
He wants medicaid cut. That does the opposite, especially for his voters.
He undid the prescription price negotiations.
Come on. How is that unclear?
He has about as much control over that as he does the price of eggs, or oil, or most things.

There, fixed.
I don’t want you to go away but please fix your shit.
