@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: "Reality is that hospitals are gonna close, nursing homes are gonna shut down, people are going to die if these Medicaid cuts and their efforts to detonate parts of the ACA are successfully enacted into law."

JD Vance on Trumpcare in 2017: "What is it that's going to drive Trump's voter away from him? Well, losing their health care may actually be the answer to that question." Mission accomplished.
