Rural hospitals are already squeezed – they can't afford to give out care without some form of payment from insurance companies. So, when our neighbors show up to the ER for care, and they don’t have Medicaid anymore, the hospital has to foot the bill.

I visit rural hospitals all the time. The Republican health care cuts won't just hurt them – they'll force them to close their doors.
Patients will lose health insurance, skip getting care because they can't afford it, and then end up in the ER when it becomes too serious to ignore.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect
Just like I thought.
In the dead of night (on a Sunday no less) Republicans demanded to kick MORE people off their health insurance FASTER, because their previous proposal didn’t go far enough.

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill."
They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday.
Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

A whopping 76 percent oppose significant cuts to Medicaid.
The tax bill that Republicans ultimately pass — public opinion be damned — will make life more difficult for millions of low-income Americans.
Here’s everything you need to know ⤵️
There's a lot going on in the world at the moment... and how's the Senate spending its time?
We're voting on Jared Kushner’s dad (a convicted felon who Trump pardoned) to be Ambassador to France, sending a billionaire convicted felon (and relative) to serve as a top diplomat.
To our friend Joe Biden — Archie and I wish you the best as you take care of yourself. Many families deal with cancer, and you have done so much to help them. Now we can support you and yours.
Republicans’ big beautiful bill sure is beautiful if you’re a millionaire.
Not so much when you make 50k a year and you end up with LESS money in your pocket.
I’m grateful to everyone who is putting themselves on the line to protect lives and land. In the face of loss and uncertainty, Minnesotans always show up for one another, and I know we’ll get through this together.
It’s a rainy and smokey Duluth this morning as we come north to meet with emergency responders and survey the terrible damage from the northeastern Minnesota wildfires.
Hope the rain helps.
These guys should have to look their constituents in the eye and say: You don’t deserve health care as much as Elon Musk deserves a tax break.
Instead they’ll run and hide from their pissed off constituents like cowards while millions are kicked off of their health insurance.
So they’re doing the Project 2025 thing they said they wouldn’t do?
Shocking.
This graph is devastating... too many of our kids are going hungry, and yet they're still plowing forward with the largest cuts to SNAP in American history.
They're taking the $6/day that people get in food assistance so they can give it to the wealthiest corporations on the planet.
Clearly cutting Medicaid is unpopular, but they're still trying to do it.
The reason? Because screwing over hard working people is okay with them if it means catering to their rich friends.
Worst farm economy of the century.
Avian flu outbreaks nationwide.
Screwworm nearing the border.
But yeah… THIS is the priority.

“If we had built the plane, knowing it was going to a foreign government, we would probably have bugged it,” said Thad Troy, a former CIA station chief.

They plan to cut your Medicaid benefits to pay for tax breaks for their rich friends.
We can read - we’re not "claiming" millions will lose health insurance. It’s in the damn bill.
Thanks for the free air time anyways, Fox News.
