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.”
I remember that sentiment from just so many of these fucking assholes. At least this guy is way up in years; many of these jerks were very young people - teens and twenties and thirties and being total fucking Karens because they were being inconvenienced by things like - checks notes - masks and, later, vaccinations, and why can’t fat and old people just go die somewhere, this isn’t about us, we want to just live our lives as if nothing is happening…
Others were more worried about “line needs to go up” because they were being gigantic babies about donvict’s chances of re-election being put in jeopardy from people “overreacting” to Covid and having negative impacts on “his” stock market. And by “overreacting” they meant reasonable precautions.
