From Nevada to Maine, moms are paying the price for Republicans’ health care crisis. Over one year ago, Trump and Republicans in Congress passed the largest health care cuts in American history — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. They passed these cuts knowing that it would rip away care from our moms, our neighbors, and our kids. As a result of the GOP’s health care agenda, over 1,100 hospitals, clinics and essential service providers have closed, cut services, or are at risk of doing so. Now, patients are having to travel farther, wait longer, and face overcrowded emergency rooms just to access the care they need.
Working families are sick of seeing Republicans axe their health care to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. They are sick of seeing clinic after clinic close. Come November, they won’t forget who betrayed the American people to line the pockets of billionaires, and they will make their voices heard.
