Protect SNAP benefits and Medicaid services!

I am a constituent and upset about House Republicans’ proposed cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Grocery prices and hunger are increasing in the country and specifically in your district. Cutting the program that helps over 42 million people put food on the table is unacceptable. Same with Medicaid. 72 million Americans rely on it for healthcare—mostly children, seniors, and veterans. Our small rural hospitals and medical providers won’t survive if Medicaid and Medicare are cut. Your constituents will have to drive hours to get the care they need. In addition, our rural communities will suffer economically as areas without nearby hospitals lose value as people won’t want to move there if they can’t get care nearby. (Adding to the decline in value due to inability to get fire insurance). Your desire, along with your GOP colleagues, to cut these programs in order to pay for tax cuts for rich people is disgusting. I work with seniors and veterans in your district. There are many who are already struggling to afford food and medical care. What are you doing to protect SNAP and Medicaid?
