McCaskill: Budget Cuts Will Cause ‘Disproportionate Pain’ in Rural Area, on Trump Supporters

EXCERPT:

McCASKILL: "Well, in my state, there will be disproportionate pain in a lot of rural areas. My state has very limited coverage of Medicaid anyway. They did not expand the Medicaid program, even though they were entitled in Missouri to billions of dollars to help folks with health care, for political reasons the Missouri legislature turned away from that. I do think that it’s going to have a dire consequence on rural communities. I just came back from doing a lot of town halls in rural Missouri. I’m going to continue to do that because I think I need to show up, show respect and listen carefully, but what is really fascinating to me is the rural hospitals will take a huge hit with these Medicaid cuts."
