This is a
long email, but it’s a deeply personal one. I hope you’ll take a moment to
read it because what’s at stake right now couldn’t be more important.
I voted no on the Republican budget plan in Congress — a framework that
advances reckless cuts to Medicaid and other lifelines that millions of
Americans depend on.
Let’s be clear: This proposal would rip health care away from millions of
people to fund tax breaks for billionaires. And I won’t stand for it.
When I think about what these cuts would mean, I think about Andy.

Andy was my husband. Just one year into our relationship, he was diagnosed
with cancer. Overnight, we went from planning our future together to
fighting for his life. I became his primary caregiver. During his battle
with terminal cancer, I held his hand through appointments, treatments,
and, ultimately, when he passed away.

But we were lucky. Andy had access to health care. It gave us precious
time together. But I also saw firsthand how fragile access can be — and
how devastating it is when people don’t have it.
Not everyone is as lucky as we were. Too many families are forced to make
impossible choices — between seeing a doctor or keeping the lights on,
between paying for a life-saving prescription, or putting food on the
table for their children.
Health care is a human right. In the wealthiest country on earth, no one
should have to make choices like these.
But right now, Republicans are threatening to make things even harder by
slashing Medicaid and cutting off care for millions of Americans —
including 1 in 4 Delawareans.
That’s why I voted no. It’s why I’m continuing to speak out. And it’s why
I’m asking for your help.
Because the truth is, there’s still time to protect Medicaid — but only if
we show up and fight back together.

When I think about the road ahead, I think of Andy. I think about every
family that’s fighting to hold on to hope. I think about what it means to
lead with compassion and conviction. And that’s what’s fueling my fight.
Thank you for reading,
Sarah
