I am your constituent and I want you to vote NO on cuts to Medicaid. States that expanded Medicaid spay no more to include a larger population of enrollees and those states take in more money in taxes because their economy grows with the expansion. I want to also point out that according to the Commonwealth Fund Medicaid also prepares future generations for economic success. More years of Medicaid coverage during childhood are associated with improved educational outcomes and higher earnings in adulthood. Children with Medicaid coverage during the first year of life in particular are likely to out-earn their parents later in life, indicating that Medicaid supports economic mobility and reduces intergenerational poverty. I don’t want you to vote for tax cuts for the wealthy by punishing low income Americans. Period.
