Nearly half of all the rural hospitals left in Missouri are at risk of closure — the proposed Medicaid cuts will likely finish them off.
Closing these hospitals not only harms the people in these communities, but it will also hasten the death of these communities.

It's fascinating to watch people who aren't running for reelection anymore suddenly grow a spine.

Saying you’re doing everything you can to stop Medicaid cuts in the same statement in which you announce you’ll vote for Medicaid cuts is a new level of ghoulish shamelessness.

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

Someone let Kat Cammack know she wasn’t denied care because Democrats scared doctors. She was denied care because she became a victim of the 6-week abortion ban she helped pass. Not everyone has the privilege to call DeSantis to assure a hospital it won’t face prosecution.
