EVERYONE deserves access to healthcare.

& regardless, even ppl Trump admin deems “deserving” will lose care bc Medicaid cuts will:

➡️devastate rural hospitals & access to emergency care
➡️gut state budgets, forcing cuts to basic services
➡️create red tape, causing eligible families to lose care

GOP already outlining their plans to take healthcare away from millions, increase grocery bills for struggling families, and cut programs that support rural hospitals and mental health. All to pay for their trillions in tax cuts for billionaires & corporations. #Populism
