💨 Abstract

Republican senators are preparing for the political impact of Medicaid cuts in their 2026 re-election campaigns. Senators Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and Joni Ernst have received criticism for the potential loss of healthcare coverage in their states. Thousands of people in their states might lose coverage. Democrats hope to turn this into an election issue, linking Medicaid cuts to tax breaks for the wealthy.
