Republicans have started talking about their plan to gut Medicaid, and that’s a huge problem for Arkansans.
Arkansas has a trigger law to automatically end Medicaid expansion if federal funding is cut — meaning that 302,000 Arkansans could lose access to health care if Republicans go through with their plan.
“Tom Cotton, French Hill, John Boozman, Steve Womack, Bruce Westerman, and Rick Crawford all voted for the Republican budget package that paved the way for Medicaid cuts, and they’re going to be the reason over 300,000 Arkansans lose their health care,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke. “As if raising costs on literally everything they need wasn’t enough, Republicans have decided to make sure Americans can’t afford health care, either. They ran on fixing the economy and helping people. They’ve done the opposite of both.”
