47,000 Vermonters at risk of losing Medicaid coverage. 

If you’ve seen the news, then you’ve probably heard a lot about the debt ceiling situation. I wanted to share what that means and how it would impact Vermonters:

Raising the debt limit simply means the government would be able to pay the bills it has already accrued and continue providing services like health care, Social Security payments, and food stamps to working class families.

Congressional Republicans’ Default on America Act, their so-called solution to the debt ceiling situation, is a reckless and heartless budget. Here’s just a snapshot of the impact this bill would have:

*
47,000
Vermonters
would
be
at
risk
of
losing
Medicaid
coverage.
*
At
least
700
Vermont
kids
would
lose
preschool
or
child
care.
*
Health
benefits
for
266,000
Vermonters
would
be
put
at
risk.
*
4,000
Vermont
families
would
lose
access
to
nutrition
food
assistance
programs.
*
10
rail
safety
inspection
days
would
be
lost
for
our
public
transportation.

I'm fighting to make sure America pays its bills and continues to invest in the priorities and programs that Vermonters rely on. Now more than ever, I need your help to power my fight — will you chip in any amount before my mid-month deadline to support me as I fight for Vermonters? [[link removed]]

Republicans are ready to drive America off of an economic cliff for nothing more than politician showmanship. After all, Republicans voted three separate times to raise the debt ceiling under President Trump, and America has never in history defaulted on its debt.

The GOP’s attempt to force America into default will have real consequences for Vermont families. I’m fighting to make sure that doesn’t happen – and I need your support.

Before our mid-month deadline tonight, donate anything you can to stand with me and fight back against the GOP’s reckless agenda. [[link removed]]
