Lawson: The GOP budget is a destruction of Medicaid. There are 17 frontline Republicans who are in the closest races, and in every single one of those districts, the vote margin they won by was smaller than the amount of people who will lose their healthcare. That's why they're waffling right now.

Lawson: The first and most often only election that politicians care about is their own. So that's what we have to work with to block this really horrendous attack on our benefits.

Lawson: Until Wall Street stops calling for their blood sacrifice of our earned benefits the Republicans will continue to dance to their tune.

Lawson: The Republicans can't pass anything on their own. They're gonna need Democratic votes and the Democrats can say: No cuts. No cuts to Social Security, no cuts to Medicare, no cuts to Medicaid.

Hartmann: So what can we do?

Lawson: Find us on social media. We have graphics with the 17 frontline Republicans' phone numbers who won by fewer people than will lose their health care. We're running billboard trucks through their districts too. And call your Congressmember: 202-224-3121
