Early Thursday morning, Republicans pushed through their devastating budget bill. If this bill becomes law, 8.6 million people will lose health care coverage under Medicaid and 7.4 million will lose coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Not to mention, the $3 trillion it would add to our nation's debt.
Democrats spent all night on Wednesday, from 11 pm until 5:30 am using every tool at our disposal to block this unacceptable legislation. I proudly voted no and while I was disappointed the bill still passed, I'm not giving up the fight.
