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.”
His Republican opponent was black, of which roughly 95% of all districts still voted for him.
Ah, well, that would do it. Racism for the win? Pardon me while I go be sick.
That was for his second term.
His first opponent was former governor Matt Bevin, who is a whole other piece of MAGA trash.
Some people can’t admit progressives can win red states.
