Senate candidate Andrews says Medicaid cuts 'will be devastating' to SC

U.S. Senate candidate Annie Andrews told a group of voters at an Oct. 6 campaign event in Greer that her top priority would be to protect the Medicaid program. Cuts to the federal healthcare program are looming as the Republican-backed 2025 budget legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, takes full effect. “These cuts will be devastating to healthcare access in South Carolina,” said Andrews, a Democrat who faces Republican Sen. Darline Graham in the Nov. 3 election. According to the South Carolina Hospital Association , the loss of Medicaid dollars will be a significant blow to hospitals across the state, particularly in rural communities. Unless lawmakers make changes to the law, “hospitals will be forced to make difficult decisions and deep cuts to services to mitigate the impact of these cuts on patients,” the association said in a policy statement . In addition to support for Medicaid, Andrews, a pediatrician, said she favors a public, government-funded option for health coverage. She said Americans should have the right to pay for private insurance plans but that a public option is a “pragmatic” way to address rising healthcare costs. Graham has a different vision, according to her campaign spokesman, T.W.
