I want you to know that there are 446 hospitals that are now at risk of closure because of Trump and Republicans tax giveaway. Cutting $1 Trillion dollars in Medicaid funding will damage personal health outcomes, hospitals ability to stay open and will wreak havoc on the health of hundreds of communities. Here is the analysis from Public Citizen, https://www.citizen.org/article/big-ugly-threat/ Take a look at the hospitals at risk in your state and in your neighborhoods. It isn’t a pretty sight. This is something that Universal healthcare fixes. H.R. 3069 contains provisions for regional administrators to make sure that they can eliminate medical deserts. It also has Global Budgets built in so medical facilities have their infrastructure costs covered and won’t have to cut services. AND it will do it for $728 billion less than the U.S. spends now (according to the 2020 CBO report - updated for inflation). I want you to pay attention to your constituents - ALL OF THEM - not just the rich. We all deserve to be able to go to the doctor when we have to without fear of the cost. We really need your help to make healthcare the human right in America that it is in the entire industrialized world. I want you to stand up and protect your constituents and pass HR 3069. The Medicare For All Of Us Act and so we can al be as healthy as possible.
