State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called out supposed pro-life lawmakers for supporting Medicaid cuts that could potentially kill people.
Kenyatta spoke at a press conference outside of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg on Monday, responding to remarks made by US Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who doubled down on a town hall statement that death is inevitable and to embrace Christianity.
Ernst told constituents,“Well, we are all going to die” after being confronted about her support for President Donald Trump’s budget bill, which includes a $700 billion cut to Medicaid.
Medicaid supports over 3 million Pennsylvanians and funds 34% of all births throughout the state. Over 340,000 residents could lose health care coverage as a result of these cuts.
