Dear John,
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office just released a new analysis of Republicans’ proposed health care cuts, and it’s some bad news.
Let’s start with a review. Congressional Republicans passed a budget earlier this year that called for hundreds of billions in cuts to key government programs. A report at the time found that it is literally impossible to meet their goals without cutting Medicare and Medicaid.
Now, today’s new analysis shows us exactly what this is going to mean for families. Enacting Republicans' top health care proposals will result in millions of Americans losing their insurance.
The stakes are clear. Americans are going to die because they don’t get the lifesaving care they need. Others will face financial ruin because they just happened to get sick.
Here’s a bit of good news: Congress is still negotiating how to turn the budget into actual policy. That means there’s still time to stop these harmful cuts.
Public pressure works. We need to get loud and stay loud. Hands off our health care!
Since launching my campaign, I’ve consistently said that our next governor has to be a health care governor. Can you chip in $5 today to send a clear message that the people want leaders who strengthen our health care, not slash it?
Thanks for reading,
Katie
