'Death sentence': Sen. Sanders on GOP Medicaid cuts - All In - MSNBC



“When you throw 13 million people off health insurance, when you raise co-payments for poor people, it is a death sentence,” says Senator Bernie Sanders on the Republican plan to cut Medicaid. “Thousands and thousands of low-income and working people will die because they simply will not be able to get into a doctor’s office when they need it.” - Aired on 05/14/2025.

This is the real McCoy of all wars. Class Warfare. And people really ARE going to die. Bernie said already 70,000 people die in a year because they can't get healthcare for whatever reason, usually because they can't AFFORD the damn co-pays, let alone the meds. If over 10 million are thrown off Medicaid, do the math. 70,000 + (a large number of the 10 Million) = millions. Millions are going to die in the year that the cut in Medicaid is enacted, plus millions every year thereafter.
Yep, that's what they want: dead people. Eliminate the weakest amongst us.
Mike Johnson and the Republican Party calls it Christianity.
