Aftyn Behn Says She Would Reinstate Taxpayer Funding for Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants That Republicans Eliminated

EXCERPT:

BEHN: “Yeah. So at the state legislature, we have not increased, I mean, marginally the reimbursement rates for Medicaid. And so rural hospitals, particularly those that serve more disenfranchised communities -- and rural communities have a higher -- you know, rural communities are full of people that have not a lot of insurance. And so what I would do in Congress is to definitely restore Medicaid funding that was cut via the Big Ugly Bill. That is the lifeline for a lot of rural hospitals.”
