    One counterexample I would like to point out is the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare seems to have made that program another one of the ‘third rail’ policies alongside Social Security and Medicare

      I certainly hope you’re right about it actually being a “third rail” as the OBBB aims to reverse that expansion far beyond where it started. Seeing the elderly in wheelchairs protest this at the capital only to get arrested and their hands zip tied does not give me hope.
