Hello,
Last month, Donald Trump signed a proclamation commemorating National Nurses Day. He and his administration praised the “extraordinary care” given by the nation’s frontline heroes in a time of crisis -- clearly aware of how vital health care is to the soul of the nation.
Then, immediately afterward, Trump reiterated his desire to strike down the Affordable Care Act.
Kicking 20 million Americans off their health insurance because of political pettiness would be reprehensible in any event. But to know those Americans will be disproportionately low-income and left stranded in the middle of a pandemic is totally unacceptable.
Perhaps Joe Biden said it best, “Trump has decided he’d rather destroy President Obama’s legacy than protect the health care of millions upon millions of Americans. He’d rather look after the profits of the insurance industry than make sure people can access healthcare in their hour of need. It’s despicable.”
We agree -- and hope you do, too. The good news? The president and his allies are outnumbered. But that won’t matter if we don’t make our voices heard.
Thank you,
The WDTO Team
