This bill is heartless and brainless

It’s heartless and brainless.

More than 74 million vulnerable Americans are covered by Medicaid in this country, yet the Senate Republicans want to dismantle this life-saving program to pay for tax breaks for their wealthy friends.

How dare they cut the care that allows people with disabilities to live a more comfortable and productive life?

How dare they slash maternity care in this country?

How dare they dismantle the safety net for children?

How dare they cut the funding that pays for seniors’ nursing homes?

Their so-called health care bill is so wrong it should never have been considered, let alone made into legislation. If this bill passes, it will devastate the lives of kids, seniors, and people with disabilities.

We can stop this bill, but we must all band together. Chip in now to fight back against Trumpcare!

We were loud all weekend. And we are making headway. But we can’t give up now.

If they think they can attack the most vulnerable Americans without the fight of a lifetime, they’re wrong.

People with disabilities showed up at Sen. Mitch McConnell’s door last week demanding their freedom. Medicaid provides them with the in-home help that allows them to live independent lives—and not spend their entire adult lives in a nursing home.

I’m fighting for ALL Americans to have quality, affordable health care. Are you standing with me?

Donate now to fight back for our health care!
