A Republican senator brushed off concerns over potential Medicaid cuts during a town hall with her constituents, arguing "we're all going to die."
Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst was discussing the possible cuts with her constituents after the topic of Republicans' "big, beautiful bill" was brought up. Although Ernst did not state if she planned to vote for the bill, which narrowly passed the House last week, the idea she did support was preventing federal benefits from being used by those who were not in the country legally, The Hill reported.
