5. Any claims that Medicaid subsidizes freeloaders who “choose not to work” and “leech off the government” are bogus.
Nearly everyone on Medicaid works. If they aren’t, there’s a reason. I’ve heard stories across VA-04 who turned to Medicaid not out of laziness, but real need.

4. States CANNOT make up the difference in lost federal health care funding, and this bill handcuffs a significant tool they’ve used to pay for Medicaid — the provider tax. Republicans ask states to make the impossible decision of raising taxes or cutting benefits.
3. Paperwork and red tape is designed to keep people from getting health insurance.
Republicans are trying to make it as hard as possible for people to get on Medicaid. But the uninsured will go to the emergency room when they are sickest — and the costs spread to everyone else’s premiums.
2. Not only will patients suffer — so will providers. The bill cuts $715 billion in health care funding. Doctors, nurses, hospitals, community health centers and more need that funding to cover the costs of care. Without it, providers will have no choice but to drop services or close completely.
1. Republicans’ bill would leave millions of people without health insurance. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that as a result of these cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, 13.7 million people would go uninsured. All so Republicans can give tax cuts to the wealthiest few.
Last night, House Republicans released their plan to gut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act — closing hospitals, blowing a hole in state budgets, and ripping away health care from MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

Today, we kick off #NationalWomensHealthWeek, and this year’s theme is “Know Your Pelvic Floor.”

Tiffany worked dutifully at the Department of Health and Human Services for nine years, only to be told in April that she was part of the mass layoffs taking place at her agency.
I listened to Tiffany as she shared her story. #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek
