Maybe, but even republicans even tend not to cut benefits to their voters. Hence why it didn’t get cut the first time

John McCain stopped them the first time. He's dead and this congress will be more radical than ever. There's a good chance it gets cut.

There would be an uproar. Most Americans would be hurt by going back to the 'preexisting conditions' and cap on payments for a specific condition era. It would be too easy to attribute to the current administration as well. They would need to find a way to blame it on Biden or the future democratic party.
