Illinois stories from people who would lose if Medicaid is cut.

Punchbowl news is reporting that moderate Republicans sent a letter to House GOP leadership and Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) stating that Medicaid cuts could threaten nursing homes and hospitals, especially in rural and underserved areas.

Here’s the key part of their letter:

“We support targeted reforms to improve program integrity, reduce improper payments, and modernize delivery systems to fix flaws in the program that divert resources away from children, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and pregnant women — those who the program was intended to help. However, we cannot and will not support a final reconciliation bill that includes any reduction in Medicaid coverage for vulnerable populations.”
