This is a
long email, but it’s a deeply personal one. I hope you’ll take a moment to
give it a read.

Last week, I voted no on Trump’s big, ugly budget bill. It was one of the
most heartless pieces of legislation that Congress had considered in
decades.

This cruel budget greenlights the largest cut to Medicaid in American
history. As a result, seventeen million Americans are set to lose access
to affordable care, and it’ll be harder for everyone to receive adequate
care. Republicans passed it anyway.

When I think about what these cuts mean, I think about Andy.

Andy was my husband. Just one year into our relationship, he was diagnosed
with cancer. Overnight, we went from planning our future together to
fighting for his life. I became his primary caregiver. During his battle
with terminal cancer, I held his hand through appointments, treatments,
and, ultimately, when he passed away.

But we were lucky. Andy had access to health care. It gave us precious
time together. But I also saw firsthand how fragile access can be — and
how devastating it is when people don’t have it.

Not everyone is as lucky as we were. Too many families are forced to make
impossible choices — between seeing a doctor or keeping the lights on,
between paying for a life-saving prescription, or putting food on the
table for their children.

Health care is a human right. In the wealthiest country on earth, no one
should have to make choices like these.

But instead of making health care more affordable and accessible, Donald
Trump and Republicans in Congress just gutted Medicaid — which will leave
millions more Americans uninsured, all to finance tax breaks for
billionaires.

That’s why I voted no. It’s why I’m fighting tooth and nail to ensure
Republicans feel the consequences. And it’s why I’m asking for your help.

you pitch in $5 to help me keep up the fight for affordable
health care and build the grassroots power we need to take back the House
from GOP control?

When I think about the road ahead, I think of Andy. I think about every
family that’s fighting to hold on to hope. I think about what it means to
lead with conviction. And that’s what’s fueling my fight.

Thank you for reading,

Sarah McBride
