When the Republicans vote to take away your health care, just remember Mitch McConnell said “they’ll get over it”.

Newsweek, citing Punchbowl News, reported that Mitch McConnell made the “get over it” remark during a closed-door Republican meeting in June 2025. The reported context was concern about Medicaid reductions in the Senate reconciliation bill, not a general statement about every form of health care or an explicit claim that millions had already lost coverage.newsweek.comnewsweek.comMitch McConnell says people worried about Medicaid cuts will "get over it" Other coverage is consistent with that basic account. Truthout described McConnell as telling Republican colleagues that Americans worried about losing Medicaid would get over it, while MS NOW reported that the comment was made privately as Republicans worked to advance their budget bill. These reports support the attribution, although they characterize the remark as “get over it” rather than independently documenting the longer wording “they’ll get over it.” (,truthout.orgtruthout.orgVoters Will “Get Over It,” McConnell Tells GOP Colleagues Scared That Medicaid...ms.nowms.nowMitch McConnell says voters will ‘get over’ losing Medicaid.

The post also presents the underlying action as Republicans voting to take away health care. The supplied sources describe proposed Medicaid cuts and political criticism of Republican health policy, but they do not establish a single final vote in which Republicans collectively stripped health care from Americans. Earlier PBS reporting concerned failed or stalled Affordable Care Act repeal efforts in 2017, and The Hill reported in 2024 that McConnell considered the Senate battle over repealing the Affordable Care Act largely over.

The quote attribution is therefore substantially supported, but the post removes the specific Medicaid and proposed-bill context and turns it into a broader assertion about health care generally. The wording also appears in partisan statements and social-media posts that add political characterization rather than independent evidence.
