314 Action Statement on Tie-Breaking Vote to Pass ‘Big Bad Budget Bill’

“With scissors and a grin, Republicans just signed a death notice for over 17 million Americans. They ignored warnings from advocates and put a target on the backs of their constituents: low-income families, disabled Americans, children, senior citizens, pregnant women, and veterans, among others who rely on Medicaid to survive. The passage of this bill will slam the door shut on over 300 rural hospitals, making it more difficult for Americans to receive care in an emergency. We are about to experience a public crisis never seen before.

314 ACTION CALLS ON SEN. BILL CASSIDY TO VOTE AGAINST BUDGET BILL

“If Senator Cassidy has any doubts about how he must vote on the budget bill, he should re-read his hippocratic oath. Stripping Medicaid coverage from over 1.6 million vulnerable Louisianians is a complete betrayal of his promise as a doctor. He’s already been fooled once into endangering the American people by voting to confirm RFK Jr. to HHS Secretary. The lives of millions depend on him not making the same mistake twice.
