Those plans to cut Medicaid and SNAP you've heard about? They're being paired with plans to extend and expand tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest Americans. Here's what that means for Kentuckians:

Medicaid in Kentucky gets absolutely hammered in the House bill--loss of $1.7 billion, 2nd-worst proportionally of all states, and lost coverage of 207,000-345,000 Kentuckians, 5th-worst among states

The House bill "will decimate rural hospitals, empty food banks, and leave our children hungry and our families poorer. . . .[its] detrimental effects on everyone but the very rich should send voters of every stripe to their phones and emails to protest." kentucky.com/opinion/editor…

DOGE & the federal govt are requiring seniors & the disabled get to Social Security offices to handle issues previously fixed by phone. But in Kentucky 25% of seniors live at least 1 hour 8 minutes from the nearest office. In EKY it’s 1 hour 21 minutes: cbpp.org/research/socia…

The report on "how people spend their time" is flawed- it fails to account for many people with disabilities and health conditions (as do policies taking #Medicaid away from people not meeting a work requirement) Read this instead: geigergibson.publichealth.gwu.edu/fundamental-fl…

Low-paid workers, already facing unstable hours and few benefits, would be hit hard by the House Republican plan to take #Medicaid from people who don't meet a red-tape laden work requirement. cbpp.org/research/healt…
