- Trump has promised to upend the health sector and government in general
- Allies say it cannot be 'business as usual' in the meantime
MAGA warriors have sounded the alarm over plans by Congress to push through a huge round of health spending before Donald Trump takes office.
The year-end spending bill would reportedly reauthorize a slew of health care programs and add regulation for pharmacy benefit managers.
But with Trump building an administration intent on upending the status quo, allies are warning House Speaker Mike Johnson against anything that would undermine their efforts to overhaul the sector.
Rogan O'Handley, who posts as DC Draino, an influential rightwing account, posted: 'Hey @SpeakerJohnson. Did you see this? Asking for 77 million Trump voters!'
Trump has signaled his intent to shake up health care by appointing environmental lawyer and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr to the portfolio.
At the same time, the new Department of Government Efficiency is believed to have plans to slash trillions in spending from Medicare and Medicaid.
Yet, a new round of healthcare spending is one of the bargaining chips in play as Congress tries to find a compromise resolution that would keep government funded beyond a December 20 deadline and into March.
The result is a string of influential Trump world voices warning Johnson that it cannot be 'business as usual' before the president-elect is sworn in.
