I am writing in frustration and outrage over the recent passage of the House budget package, which includes cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. These programs are a lifeline for millions of Americans, especially seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families. To even consider cutting these programs is not only irresponsible but cruel. It is cowardly to target the most vulnerable members of society while protecting the interests of the wealthy. Cutting Medicare and Medicaid will harm those who depend on these programs to survive. These are people who have contributed to this country their entire lives, only to be abandoned at their most vulnerable. The very people who built this country should not be left behind. This budget is a direct attack on the American people, and it exposes the cowardice in Congress. Instead of addressing real issues like the rising cost of healthcare or prescription drugs, it seeks to make life harder for those who can least afford it. The political game being played with people’s lives is shameful. I urge you to reject this budget and stand up for the people who need you most. You can either choose to protect the wealthy and powerful or fight for the working families, seniors, and disabled individuals who rely on Medicare and Medicaid. The decision you make will define your legacy. If you allow these cuts to pass, you will be complicit in the suffering they cause. People’s lives will be upended, and our most vulnerable citizens will be left without the care they need. This is not leadership; it is betrayal. The American people are watching, and we will remember who stood with us and who turned their backs.
