John,
Last week, during a House hearing on the Republicans' sweeping Medicaid cuts, I decided to lend my time to someone my MAGA colleagues didn't want to hear from: My friend Carla – the daughter of WWII veteran and a seven-year lung cancer survivor whose life was saved by Medicaid.
Carla wasn't on a recording. I dialed her into the hearing so the GOP members of our committee could hear her story live and directly on the phone. But before she could say more than a few words, one of my Republican colleagues forced the call to end.
John, Republicans aren't just gutting Medicaid – they're trying to shut up the very people their actions will harm. They know exactly what their plan will do: strip health care from cancer survivors, working families, the elderly, and the most vulnerable among us. They know it will cost lives – and they're doing everything they can to avoid being held accountable.
And for what? To pay for more tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.
Cowards.
This bill will threaten lives so the powerful can keep getting richer.
If you're with me, John, please rush a donation today to help protect Medicaid and hold Republicans responsible.
