As Medicaid Awareness Month shines a spotlight on the life-saving coverage millions of Americans rely on, families are facing the harsh reality of Republican health care cuts. The GOP slashed over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, and ripped away the health care tax credits that helped millions afford coverage. Premiums are skyrocketing, out-of-pocket costs are climbing, and families are being forced to make impossible choices just to see a doctor or fill a prescription. Poll after poll shows the consequences are hitting households hard, and voters are noticing.
Frustrations are mounting, and anxiety about the future is widespread. From coast to coast, families are under pressure and scrambling for solutions. Now, Republicans are considering bigger cuts that will crush families even more to pay for their war in the Middle East. Families are paying the price for policy choices that put billionaires and big corporations ahead of everyday Americans. Voters will not forget.
