Beto O'Rourke: “Nearly 2 million [Texans] are about to lose health insurance…”

“I mean, they're really hurting. I mean, these are the people who live in a state that is the least insured in the country. Nearly 2 million [Texans] are about to lose health insurance from changes to the ACA and the more than 1 million who will be cut from Medicaid. This is a state that's at the epicenter of a maternal mortality crisis. Not only is abortion illegal, there's no protection for the life of the mother, for cases of rape or incest.” (14:47–14:56)
