John – while you were sleeping this week:
Senate Republicans worked through the night to salvage the One Big Beautiful Bill Act –
and it’s anything but beautiful. It’s a reverse Robin Hood bill that will devastate families in my district and all across the country.
Hospitals across our state have already warned me: they’ll be forced to scale back services, tens of thousands will lose their health care coverage, and we’ll all be paying the price.
John, before I get into the hard numbers, if you’re against ripping healthcare and food assistance from Connecticut families, to hand tax breaks to billionaires, will you sign onto this petition right now?
Over the next decade, over $1.1 trillion will be cut from Medicaid, food assistance will be taken away from 3 million Americans, and over $3.3 trillion will be added to the deficit. I have visited hospitals from New London to Stafford Springs that are stunned, watching health coverage for their patients ripped away, leaving their emergency rooms holding the bag to provide patient care.
In my district alone, it is estimated that over 23k will lose their health insurance coverage, 13k will lose their SNAP benefits, and over 200 additional jobs will be put at risk by elimination of clean energy tax credits.
The bill is coming back to the House, and I need you by my side. Please show your support for Medicaid and SNAP by signing on today:
Thanks for standing with me in this tumultuous time,
Joe Courtney
