Ernst's Cemetery Apology Fuels Medicaid Cut Backlash | JQJO

Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) apologized for her insensitive comment about Medicaid cuts causing deaths, stating "we all are going to die." The remark, made during a town hall, followed questions about the Trump tax bill's expected impact on 10 million Medicaid recipients. Ernst's subsequent Instagram video, seemingly filmed in a cemetery, further fueled criticism. Democrats condemned her response as cruel and uncaring, highlighting the bill's potential to leave millions without healthcare.
