Pediatric critical care specialist Farhan Malik from Florida warned that children would suffer fatal consequences due to these healthcare cuts, predicting a decrease in medical staff and services in hospitals.

Dr. Helen Pope from Louisiana echoed these concerns, stating that cuts to Medicaid would endanger lives, asserting, 'If Medicaid is cut, my patients will die.'

Sanders has vowed to oppose the legislation, asserting that healthcare should be a human right, not a privilege for the wealthy.

A report indicates that at least 16 states could see their uninsured rates increase by over 70% if the Republican bill is enacted.

According to Sanders, the GOP budget legislation proposed in the Senate would strip health coverage from 19 Americans for every millionaire household receiving a tax break.

The Republican legislation is estimated to benefit around 800,000 millionaire households with tax cuts, raising concerns about the equity of the proposed healthcare changes.

The proposed Republican cuts to Medicaid are set to be the largest in U.S. history, with Senate Republicans advocating for even deeper reductions than those initially passed by the House.

If the House GOP plan is enacted, approximately 11 million Americans would lose their health insurance, a number that could rise to 16 million if Affordable Care Act tax credits are not extended.

Healthcare providers have warned that the Republican legislation would have devastating effects on the U.S. healthcare system, leading to millions losing insurance, increased costs, and the potential closure of rural hospitals.

Senator Bernie Sanders has emphasized that the bill would create a national healthcare emergency, significantly impacting rural hospitals and increasing the number of uninsured individuals across both red and blue states.

Sanders further stated that the bill could result in over 51,000 unnecessary deaths each year if passed, labeling it a 'death sentence' for working-class and low-income Americans.
