    I don’t think assuming Medicaid will stick around if Medicare doesn’t is a safe assumption.

      It’s mainly state run and the plans are state administered - it’d definitely depend on your state but blue states would likely try to sustain it. (And they could probably cheat the federal government out of the costs to run it by paying for it out of harmonized SALTs if they’re smart).

        The states would have to be solvent, and willing to shoulder the burden right?

          Yes - aka not a red state. I don’t believe many state governments are deep in debt enough to be close to their borrowing limit but that’s a bit out of my wheelhouse.
