Get over it?!

Remember when Republican Senator Joni Ernst took heat for saying, "Well, we all are going to die" when defending her party's planned cuts to Medicaid?

It doesn't look like her colleagues learned the right lesson.

This week, it was reported that Mitch McConnell said behind closed doors: "I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they'll get over it."

Republicans are preparing to kick 16 million Americans off their health care. These cuts will be deadly. And their response? Get over it.

Losing health care coverage is not something to "get over." You don't "get over" medical emergencies that you can't afford to address. You don't "get over" your mom being kicked out of her nursing home because she can't afford to stay. And you don't "get over" your child being sick because you can't get a doctor's appointment.

Republicans don't seem to care about the very real consequences their policies will have.

I'll tell you this, Devon: I'm not about to "get over" the possibility of 16 million people losing their health care coverage, just to fund a tax cut to billionaires. And I'm pretty sure the American people won't "get over" their Senators and Representatives voting for the biggest health care reduction in U.S. history. They're going to remember come 2026.

If you're ready to elect a Congress that won't callously cut Medicaid, please join me. Every grassroots contribution helps us message against the GOP's destructive policies and lay the groundwork for next year.

More soon,

Ron
