BREAKING: The House just voted to pass a default plan that will take away health care from millions if they don’t meet a new bureaucratic work requirement. This is unacceptable and the Senate has to stop it. (THREAD👇)

Let’s call it like it is: this Default On America Act is a terrible deal for everyday people and will directly harm millions of families across this country. When the government plays games with things like food, health coverage, and aging and disability care, nobody wins.

This plan puts a false choice in front of us: take care away from families, children, older adults, and disabled people — or force a default that will wreck the economy. We should be investing in care, not making cuts that squeeze families more.

The Republican plan to take Medicaid away from people who do not meet new work requirements means that people in poor health and disabled people could lose their health care. It will also hurt older adults over 50 and disabled people, groups without as many job opportunities.

This will affect every person who uses Medicaid, by requiring people to go through bureaucratic hoops to prove that they are working or that they can’t work in order to keep their coverage. People can and will lose their health care if this bill becomes law.

Instead of attacking Medicaid and taking health care away from people, Congress should do more to make the ultra-wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share. The fight doesn’t end here. Sign on to tell Congress to #SaveMedicaid 👇 go.caringacross.org/a/sign-petitio…
