@mattyglesias Avatar @mattyglesias Matthew Yglesias

Matthew Yglesias is currently discussing the controversy surrounding Medicaid cuts, with many people, including him, expressing concern that millions of people will lose their health insurance. He and others are criticizing the lack of attention to this issue, particularly given its unpopularity among Democrats and the general public. The proposed cuts are part of a larger bill, and Yglesias is urging people to pay attention to this critical issue.
