Families. Children. Folks in rural areas. Folks with disabilities & chronic conditions.
All in all, about 15M Americans will lose Medicaid & health coverage from Trump & Congressional Republicans' plan.

If we really believe that Public Ed is essential for Americans, particularly our young people, we have to talk to and listen to everyone. My Fox Digital Op Ed
PresidentTrump is correct that states & local school boards should control students’ education. They do, and they have since the earliest days of our republic. But to gut the Department of Education—is about redistributing money & opportunity from the many to the few. www.foxnews.com/opinion/rand...
RANDI WEINGARTEN: Trump's decision to gut the Education Department is not only illegal, it's wrong
It is hard to imagine how 7.5 million kids with disabilities, 26 million kids from low-income families or 13 million young people who get financial aid for college won’t be disserved.
