The House GOP bill would slash $715B from Medicaid—and halt the new Eligibility & Enrollment Rule that simplifies access to care. This would strip health care from eligible kids, older adults & people with disabilities. 📝 By Alicia Emanuel & Shandra Hartly 🔗 healthlaw.org/medicaid-enr...

Republicans want to cut Medicaid by $880 billion. It’s cruel. It’s evil. It’s against our mandate as public servants. I spoke at the @CaringAcross.org 24-hour vigil today with a clear message: I will not let Republicans take away your healthcare. Medicaid saves lives. Period.

Congressman Cole says he never thought he’d have to be back here, “fighting for the basics. That when you get sick, you can see someone.” When he was a child, his one week uninsured stay in the hospital with pneumonia nearly bankrupted his family. #ProtectMedicaid
