“Get ready to be bombarded with ghoulish paid ads and Democratic politicians warning about grandmothers dying, children denied needed cancer treatments, and pregnant women suffering. The demagoguery is in full swing against Republicans’ efforts to control federal spending on Medicaid and stabilize the nation’s debt. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul screamed last week that ‘House Republicans just voted to rip health care away from up to 1.8 million New Yorkers — all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires.’ … Rep. Delia Ramirez [D-IL] shrieked, ‘People will die!’ These are lies. Helpless children, the elderly, pregnant women and the disabled are not going to lose their health care. And the Medicaid changes are designed to help all Americans, not just billionaires. The economic impact of Congress not containing Medicaid spending is what’s truly scary.” (03/05/25)
