I urge you to oppose any budget reconciliation bill that cuts Medicaid, reduces Medicaid expansion, or imposes Medicaid work requirements. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Americans and 1000s of your constituents. Reducing its federal budget would cut off millions of people from needed health care and destroy lives and local economies like ours. One more thing - many of your voters - people who voted for you - use Medicaid to help pay for nursing homes for elderly family members. If you vote to cut Medicaid, your rich Republican voters will then have to pay that enormous cost themselves OR bring these family members home to live with them. I know these people and they will not be happy. In fact they will be very upset. Think about that and how primary season might go next year. Thank you.
