Cuts to Medicaid Could Cost Republicans

NOTUS: “Republicans have publicly and privately fretted that their cuts to the social safety net could be a liability in battleground states. The race for Virginia’s 1st Congressional District is a test of just how much.”

“It’s a contest taking shape around the future of health care, and particularly Virginia’s rural hospitals. Three such clinics shuttered last year in Virginia, directly citing the One Big Beautiful Bill as a reason. A state legislative committee deemed that 13 more hospitals risk the same fate, though the two in Wittman’s district have no immediate plans to close.”
