Guess I'd better pull myself up by my boot straps to pay the $100,000 a year it costs for my mother's nursing home. It's my own fault if I can't.
Nah, just tell the nursing home to roll your mom out to the curb once the Medicaid runs out. She'll have lots of company out there, all of those other elderly who depend on Medicaid to cover their costs, as well as the millions of children who do as well. They serve no productive use to society--as in, no one can make any money off of their labor--so it's of no loss as far as President Trump and the GOP are concerned.
Paul Ryan must be doing his happy dance at the thought of this. He's been itching to cut the entire safety net to shreds. It must feel like Christmas to him thinking about all the people they're about to pull the rug out from under.

Actually, why don't you liberals first make sure that Medicaid is cut to all illegal aliens ? And while you're at it, petition President Trump to establish a task force to eliminate all Medicaid fraud. Maybe after both of those are completed, your moms won't lose their coverage.
Or you can just keep playing keyboard jockey and continue to whine.
Trump has done nothing that he said he would do. From the wall, to the wars, to health care, he has broken more promises in 8 weeks than Obama did in 8 years, and Obama broke or failed to deliver on a lot of them. Trump's feigned concern for "you" got him elected, but in reality he is turning into Paul Ryan.
Let's hope that Paul Ryan doesn't turn into being president. That smirking, scheming weasel is counting on that happening. A Shakespearean plotline is spinning in his head.

I agree, but he could end up like many of the Shakespearean characters, too.

I thought he was going to preserve medicaid. What changed?
The federal government typically covers 50% of Medicaid. Obama promised to cover 100% of those covered by the Medicaid expansion, but without any authority. Trump is simply not going to honor Obama's unsustainable promise. Worse states which don't work with the federal government to get those who do not belong on the Medicaid expansion off, will get a total Medicaid expansion cut off. The federal government has a long history of making Medicaid promises to states, and not following through. Republican governors understood this and didn't sign up, Democrat governors did, it's going to hurt those states financially.
