Sneaky New Move By Shameless Republicans Puts Millions Of American Lives In Danger

Despite evidence showing that the type of home care Claire receives saves money and has better outcomes, Republicans are trying to remove funding for life-saving, life-enriching care — the same care Claire and others like her need to stay healthy and at home where they belong.

In the clearest sign that Republicans know what they are doing is not just wrong but shameful, they waited until late at night on Mother’s Day to release the text of Trump’s devastating “big, beautiful bill” that would gut Medicaid, hoping it would go unnoticed. Then, continuing the pattern of wanting to avoid attention, the GOP convened a meeting under the cover of darkness to debate the bill, whose funding cuts likely would take Medicaid away from my daughter and millions of other people with disabilities who rely on the essential program. Despite the gravity of the late-night meeting for millions of Americans, at least one GOP congressman slept through part of the discussion, seemingly unbothered by the deadly consequences for constituents in his district and beyond, including my own daughter.

Millions of other Americans who get health insurance through Medicare and the Affordable Care Act also stand to lose access to health care under this bill. All told, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that if passed, the “big, beautiful bill” would result in 14 million Americans losing their health insurance. Among them are the most vulnerable members of our society: the chronically ill, the elderly and the disabled. Without sufficient Medicaid funding, hospitals across the country, particularly in rural areas, will be forced to shut their doors.
