GOP's Medicaid Cuts Are Already Wreaking Havoc On States - The Logical Leftist

In this critical video, we discuss the GOP's nearly $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid and the chaos it is unleashing on the healthcare system for millions of low-income Americans. According to NC Newsline, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) plans to implement a $319 million cut to Medicaid spending starting October 1st. This includes a 3% reduction for all medical providers and even larger cuts for inpatient and autism-related services. NCDHHS spokesperson Summer Tonizzo warns that these reductions could lead to many providers opting out of accepting Medicaid patients, which would severely impact essential services like nursing homes and hospice care. With nursing homes housing over 1.2 million residents—many of whom are elderly and rely on Medicaid—these cuts could have devastating consequences. In this video, we’ll break down the statistics, discuss who will be most affected, and analyze the broader implications for healthcare access in the United States.
