I will not 'get over' losing Medicaid - that would kill me. Censure Mitch McConnell for his dismissive words. Mitch McConnell's recent comments dismissing concerns over proposed Medicaid cuts demonstrate a callous disregard for the wellbeing of millions of Americans who rely on this vital program. His flippant attitude of "get over it" towards potential reductions in health care coverage is unacceptable. As an elected leader, he has a responsibility to prioritize the needs of his constituents, not ignore them. Medicaid provides essential services to vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and low-income families. Cutting funding would put their access to quality healthcare at risk and could have devastating consequences. I urge you to reject any proposals that would diminish Medicaid's ability to serve those who need it most. Protecting the healthcare of all Americans should be a top priority, not an afterthought. Please reconsider your stance and work towards strengthening Medicaid, not weakening it.
