Today, Congressional Republicans voted to rip away healthcare from more than 10 million Americans.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill” cuts Medicaid from the working poor, senior citizens, children, and the disabled. This is coupled with accelerating the rise in our national debt that threatens a further $500 BILLION cut to Medicare, ripping away more healthcare from senior citizens. Finally, the bill takes away the federal efforts to help the middle class afford health insurance. Overall, the working poor and middle class will see their incomes fall and access to healthcare disappear.
Who benefits from this catastrophe? The millionaires and billionaires who get a gigantic tax cut.
As an ER Doc and the only physician in the Pennsylvania legislature, I am saddened that my patients, community, state, and nation will suffer from this morally bankrupt and dangerous agenda. But I am resolved to fight to expand affordable and accessible healthcare for all.
I cannot do it alone. Can you chip in $50 to help me fight this abominable bill and advance an agenda that protects our healthcare?
Together, we can defeat the dangerous effort to rip healthcare from us.
Sincerely,
Rep. Arvind Venkat, MD
