Don Bacon Calls for Half a Trillion(!) Dollars in Cuts to Medicaid

After weeks of keeping the public on edge for his answer to the question:

“How much health care do you want to rip away from the American people?” 

Don Bacon finally gave an answer, telling Politico that $500 billion in cuts to Medicaid is his preference.

To be clear, $500 billion in cuts to Medicaid would be devastating for millions of people, including the 41,000 Nebraskans in the Second Congressional District who are at risk of losing health care coverage from these cuts alone.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton: 
“Coming to an ad near you: ‘Don Bacon wants to cut Medicaid.’”
