Mandatory work requirements; reduced Obamacare subsidies; purging DACA recipients: and new cost-sharing for near-poor beneficiaries included in the bill.
The bill is terrible on so many counts - but I think it is less bad than you describe in one aspect. I don’t think it eliminates the 90% FMAP for holdout states that may in the future take up Medicaid expansion. It does however eliminate the extra 5% bump to the FMAP for newly-expanding states (as provided in the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act).
Maybe, after we kick the 'pubs to the curb again, this obsession of theirs to rob us of whatever medical care we now have will cause the backlash it takes to install universal health care! Boy, would that chap their asses!

If every Medicaid enrollee who loses coverage votes Democratic in the mid-term elections, it will be a landslide of epic proportions.
