NY Times is framing Medicaid cuts as a problem for state budgets and not a problem for actual human beings who will lose access to health care.

People > state’s rights

In other states, legislatures included a trigger law that said “if Congress cuts the Medicaid budget, we get to take Medicaid away from poor adults”

The voter backed proposition didn’t say that… so if Congress cuts Medicaid, poor adults don’t automatically lose their health care.

The legislatures / governors of South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Missouri (very red states) didn’t want to expand Medicaid to include poor, non-disabled adults.

Voters wanted poor adults to have health care - so they passed propositions to expand Medicaid.
