I explained why I cannot support Republicans’ massive cuts to Medicaid, which will have a severely damaging effect on all our hospitals, Community Health Centers, and nursing homes, including South Shore Hospital, Brockton Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, and Mass General Brigham.

As a member of @oversightdemocrats.house.gov, I have demanded that Chairman Comer hold a hearing to investigate Mr. Homan’s reported misconduct and determine why the Trump Justice Department shut down its related criminal investigation.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch @lynch.house.gov · 20d

Under President Trump, the Department of Justice abruptly terminated its investigation of Homan for potential bribery and other federal crimes.
