Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has condemned a Republican-led budget plan that includes $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade. He warned that these reductions could lead to hospital closures and reduced healthcare access, especially in rural areas.
Calling the proposal a betrayal, Beshear stressed that Medicaid supports thousands of Kentuckians who rely on it for essential care. The debate highlights broader concerns over federal spending priorities and the potential impact on vulnerable communities.
