BREAKING: Trump’s election year health care strategy is to destroy Medicaid.
Medicaid serves 4 groups:

Moms and babies (1/2 the births in US)
Ppl w disabilities
Low income
Ppl in nursing homes (1/2 the ppl in LT care)

And funds 1/3 of all opioid treatments
The rest of his health care record. “We’re going to protect the industry,” Trump said of vaping companies.

Because that’s not enough, he is trying to:

-Increase drug costs on all seniors
-Cut 20 million from their insurance (double uninsured rate for eligible Americans)
-Eliminate pre-ex protections & all insurance company exclusions

That scratches the surface. if you care about women’s health, child nutrition, clean drinking water, LGBTQ+ health care, the mental health crisis, disability rights, or profiteering at your expense, we have taken a major step back.

Can’t think of a soul who is better off.
