Republicans fail to delay health care cuts past midterms
Original: Good thing to talk about. ----- Republicans tried to punt health care cuts until after the midterms. It didn’t work. Whi
Republicans had hoped to push the most painful cuts to Medicaid and other safety-net programs until after the midterm elections, but the strategy did not work. While most of the GOP-enacted reductions are not scheduled to take effect until 2027, Democrats are already campaigning on the issue, reaching voters who say they are feeling the squeeze now. The fight over health care is shaping up as a central theme heading into the midterms.
Why now: Health care cuts are becoming a live campaign issue ahead of the US midterms, with both parties courting affected voters.
