Senator's Callous Remark on Medicaid Cuts Sparks Outrage

Senator Joni Ernst's controversial remark about Medicaid cuts has sparked outrage. The Iowa Republican's dismissive comment, 'People are not well, we're all going to die,' came in response to concerns that proposed cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would lead to deaths. The bill is now heading to the Senate. 'This is not just about numbers; it's about real people's lives,' said one constituent who confronted Ernst at the town hall. The senator's response, captured on video, has gone viral, fueling criticism from Democrats and some Republicans alike. Several senators have indicated that they are seeking to modify the legislation before it comes to a vote.
