Description

At a town hall in Parkersburg, Iowa, a voter begged Senator Joni Ernst to understand the human cost of slashing Medicaid: “People are going to die.” But Ernst didn’t flinch. Days later, she posted a mock apology — filmed in a graveyard — saying: “We’re all going to die.” On Roland Martin Unfiltered, panelist Raven Schwam-Curtis delivers the bottom line: “Republicans don’t care if we die.” Roland, Raven, and Bishop William Barber break down the GOP’s cold strategy — from deadly budget math to the moral failure of laughing at death. This is about more than one town hall. It’s about a political movement that weaponizes indifference.

It’s amazing that the people who want to rip Medicaid from the poor are the very ones who get the best healthcare off the backs of the working poor
