Did You Know....
On April 1st (April Fools Day) President Donald Trump said it’s “not possible” for the federal government to fund Medicare, Medicaid and child care costs, arguing that it should be up to the states to “take care” of those programs while the federal government focuses on military spending.
​“It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things,” Trump said. “They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country.” To Learn more go to:https://truthout.org/articles/trump-budget-proposal-shreds-health-and-food-programs-to-feed-the-war-machine/

Letter of the Week
Not Just For The Rich And Powerful....​
For decades, our healthcare system has been dysfunctional. The free market is good for some things, but health care is not one of them. We have the highest per capita spending globally, yet our system ranks last among high-income countries. Because of high out-of-pocket costs, health care, along with food and housing, is a top financial concern for us. Roughly 66.5% of all bankruptcies are due to medical expenses, and approximately 24% of adults have medical debt they cannot pay or that is past due. The status quo of our current system is not sustainable. It is in crisis.
Now, along comes President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act, and our health care is imploding. To give tax cuts to the wealthy top 1%, Trump implemented the largest health care cuts in U.S. history. These cuts are causing millions of Americans to lose their health insurance, hundreds of health care facilities to close, thousands of jobs to be lost, and health care costs to rise, all of which are jeopardizing our entire economy.
Enough. We, the taxpayers, cover the cost of the excellent health care coverage for Trump and our elected officials. We should expect the same quality coverage for all Americans. Call your Congressman at 202-224-3121. Tell them we want the same quality health care insurance that our tax dollars provide to them.
