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.”
