“Federal Cuts, Local Impacts” by Seth DiStefano

This video breaks down how the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” threatens West Virginia’s health care and economy. With Medicaid so dependent on federal dollars, the bill’s funding cuts and new red tape could kick thousands off coverage, raise costs for families, and force rural hospitals to close. SNAP recipients, foster youth, veterans, and working families could all lose critical support. This is a must watch.
In summary: This law piles on red tape to push people off Medicaid and SNAP, shuts down rural care, and hikes costs for families — all to hand tax cuts to millionaires.
