The government doesn’t want to fund these programs anymore. If they could wipe them out tomorrow they would. When you start cutting healthcare, housing and food stamps you’re done. It may take awhile to whittle down but it isn’t a priority. Social security and medicare are going bankrupt in a few years. Change is on the horizon. They haven‘t announced it yet but they will.

It hardly started with Tillis. As for Tillis, he doesn't like the senate version and prefers the house version. Medicaid like a lot of other government welfare programs is probably a mess of wasteful spending.
Keeping poor people healthy is bad?

Social security and Medicare along with the US itself is going to go bankrupt without reform. Keeping everything going as is, until it collapses, isn't much of plan.

No, creating more and more poor people, increases the "surplus population".
Triage everyone at the poverty level as untreatable should help that.

Again, how much is it forecast to reduce the debt?
I haven't read whatever forecasts you're talking about so I don't know. But I do know that cutting back on wasteful spending reduces debt.
