The Massive Budget Budget Bill that the Senate Republicans debate some of its tax reductions by reducing hundreds of billions of dollars to Medicaid expenditure. The latest report from the Office of the Non -Sample Congress Budget estimates that nearly 12 million people will lose health insurance if the Senate of the bill becomes law.
Trump insists that the cuts come from the elimination of waste, fraud and abuse. The Democrats said that they break Trump’s promise not to touch Medicaid – and during the weekend, the North Caroline Republican Senator Thom Tillis accepted. “What am I saying to 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them from Medicaid because the funding is no longer there?”
We asked Sarah Jane Tribble, the chief rural correspondent of Kff Health News, which the cuts will mean for rural residents of states such as North Carolina – and the hospitals that serve them.
