Let’s stop pretending this is normal policymaking. It isn’t. It’s a coordinated dismantling of American healthcare—and you are complicit. Under Donald Trump, access to care has been systematically eroded in ways that are both deliberate and devastating: He gutted the Affordable Care Act without repealing it—slashing enrollment funding by 90%, shortening enrollment windows, and stripping away cost-sharing subsidies that kept care affordable for working families. He backed Medicaid cuts so severe they threaten coverage for millions, destabilize rural hospitals, and force states to ration care. He supported plans projected to push tens of millions off insurance rolls while allowing junk plans that deny coverage for preexisting conditions. He allowed ACA subsidies to expire—knowingly driving up premiums for over 20 million Americans. His policies are already linked to hospital closures, especially in rural communities, leaving entire regions without maternity wards, emergency care, or basic services. And now—after all of that—you want to cut even more. Not to balance a budget. Not to expand care. But to shovel more money into war with Iran. Read that again: you are preparing to strip healthcare from children, seniors, and working families to fund bombs. This is not fiscal responsibility. It is moral failure on a historic scale. Every Medicaid cut means a cancer diagnosis delayed. Every subsidy cut means insulin skipped. Every hospital closure means someone dies on the way to care that used to exist. You do not get to claim patriotism while abandoning the people you were elected to serve. Stop the cuts. Restore funding. Protect the ACA. Reject any budget that trades American lives for endless war. Or be honest about what you are doing: deciding who gets to live—and who doesn’t. Choose carefully. The country is watching.
