Mapping Mitch McConnell’s Medicaid cuts. Luckily Senators have deluxe coverage that you pay for!

All Americans are equal. Some are just more equal than others. — George Orwell paraphrased.

That’s why Senators like Mitch McConnell get deluxe health coverage that you pay for, while slashing Medicaid coverage for regular Americans.

McConnell says people will ‘get over’ Medicaid cuts

“These Medicaid cuts will kick 16 million Americans off their health care, close rural hospitals — forcing people to drive hours just to see their doctor — and gut funding for long term care for our seniors,” Beshear posted. “No Sen McConnell, our people will not ‘get over it.’” — Andy Beshear

But please do not be small minded. **Please pray for Mitch McConnell** as he recovers from his health emergency. Click on the map for people likely to lose their health insurance. Perhaps they’re not that equal after all?

Republican Medicaid cuts

4,800,000 Americans will lose their Medicaid in Republican scheme

CBO analysis of the House-passed version of the reconciliation bill estimated 18.5 million people will be subject to the requirements each year and by 2034 federal Medicaid coverage will decrease by an estimated 5.2 million adults, with work requirements ultimately increasing the number of people without health insurance by 4.8 million in 2034. — KFF

TakeAway: Pray for Mitch’s speedy recovery so he can return to the Senate to push through more healthcare cuts.
