Mike Johnson Called Out for Cutting Healthcare for 1.4 Million of His Own Voters
House Speaker Mike Johnson is under fire after reports revealed that his proposed budget cuts could strip healthcare coverage from over 1.4 million constituents in his home state of Louisiana. Critics argue that Johnson’s support for slashing Medicaid funding directly harms the working-class voters who helped elect him.
The proposed cuts come as part of a broader Republican effort to reduce federal spending, but opponents say they disproportionately target vulnerable populations. Healthcare advocates warn the move would lead to fewer doctor visits, increased medical debt, and worsening health outcomes in already underserved communities.
“What kind of leader betrays his own people?” said one local activist. “Louisianans need more access to care, not less.”
Johnson has defended the plan as a necessary step toward fiscal responsibility, but that stance is wearing thin among constituents who fear losing vital coverage. With Louisiana ranking among the poorest and unhealthiest states in the nation, many see the cuts as a dangerous gamble.
The backlash is growing louder as election season approaches. Johnson may soon find that gutting healthcare for over a million of his own voters could come with steep political consequences.
