Democratic governors are expressing alarm over a Republican plan that proposes significant cuts to Medicaid, affecting millions. The proposed legislation, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, could result in at least 8.6 million individuals losing their health insurance by 2034. Tougher eligibility and work requirements would make accessing Medicaid more challenging. The Democratic governors emphasized the negative ramifications such as rural hospital closures and financial instability, stressing that the expectation for states to mitigate these cuts is unrealistic.
My biggest concerns are the people who need health care coverage are going to lose it. Medicaid cuts will disproportionately affect those who rely on it.
All 23 Democratic governors signed a statement saying that 'Republicans' proposed cuts would be disastrous ripping away quality, affordable health care from families.'
