At this point, I don’t understand why reporters ask them anything, they never tell the truth and people keep acting like it’s news that they lie. The truth of the matter is, it would be news if they told the truth. Reporters should preface their questions with what lie do you want 2 tell us now?

The he people who work in those small rural hospitals are generally among the highest wage earners in their small towns. They make up a significant portion of the tax base and contribute much to the local economy. Killing Medicaid =killing hospitals=killing small (mostly Republican voting) towns.

I've been waiting – for decades it seems – for Republican voters to wake up and smell the corruption. That millions of poor and middle class folks expected Donald Trump to improve their lives more than Kamala Harris is just beyond my understanding.

When has Mitch Mcconnell cared about Kentucky much less the American People ? Never. Grim reaper Mcconnell decided killing Americans for the rich is okay. We will get over it when they die. Republicans Murder Americans willingly right Mitch? FU!

McConnell is an old demented man that has had TIA's right in front of our eyes! What the hell is he still doing in our government?It is ridiculous that he is allowed to continue making any decisions about the health of America! Get him the hell out now!There need to be age & term limits in Congress!

This will happen in our small village that happens to have a nursing home. 85% are there on Medicaid. This not only affects them, but the jobs that will leave the area. Even the small local bus service that goes every hour to nursing home. It will devastate our community.

Sen. McConnell is apparently too old to remember his battle against polio as a child, a disease which is life threatening & avoidable by use of vaccines... vaccines which won't reach at risk children after this 'reconciliation' bill. Those families will probably not 'get over it.'

This from the man who proudly schemed to give us a radically conservative majority on the US Supreme Court. Mitch is hurting both his constituents and his colleagues by supporting the BBB. Voters won't forget, but Mitch won't be around to feel the backlash. His GOP buddies are screwed.

I lived in rural Mississippi and I can tell you that the loss of a hospital in a rural area not only impacts Healthcare but also the economy of the region. Driving two hours for a 15 minute doctor appointment and losing your job at the local hospital is not what people will get over easily.

What a pathetic creature he is. I live in Wisconsin and Trump promised no cuts to Medicare and social security. The people will make their voice heard in November 2026.

Poor KHA, appealing to #MoscowMitch, who's made his feelings plain about how little he cares about his masochistic voters, much less the people who'll suffer. Unfortunately, HIS people are only about .01% of the electorate, & they'll know no suffering, only benefits.
