Summary
Medicaid cuts under consideration by Republicans “will cause the American people to nearly revolt,” said Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear at Semafor’s World Economy Summit.
He warned “rural healthcare will cease to exist” and predicted children, older adults, and even those with private insurance will suffer.
The House GOP is weighing $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years. A new analysis from the Center for American Progress estimated “more than 34,000 people could die each year” if enacted.
Beshear emphasized, “Medicaid covers the people we love the most… our parents and our kids.”
So? Didn’t these people vote for this? Don’t they WANT to live in a shithole country?
Or was it the assumption that only brown and black people and trans and the liberals and uppity women that were going to be harmed by them pulling the lever for the felon in chief?
That is EXACTLY what they wanted and thought.
Jokes on them a bunch of us have been living without Healthcare our entire lives. Suck it up, pull yourself up by your bootstraps or something. Idc empathy is a weakness.
