Republican U.S Senator Joni Ernst was fielding questions about cuts to Medicaid that were included in the domestic policy bill working its way through Congress, when someone in the audience yelled out that the effect would be that “people are going to die.”
In response Senator Ernst said, "Well, we all are going to die."
Those who have, get more. Let them eat cake. Frivolous disregard for those in need.
