Republicans keep pretending Medicaid is a “handout.”
It’s not.
It’s how grandma gets her insulin.
How disabled kids get therapy.
How families stay afloat after layoffs or cancer.
Cut it, and you’re not trimming fat — you’re severing lifelines.

Let that sink in.
So when they slash it?
They’re not cutting costs.
They’re cutting childhoods, futures, and survival.
If this isn’t the hill to fight on, what the hell is?

They say, “People need to work.”
Tell that to the 8-year-old with leukemia.
The paraplegic veteran.
The single mom is working two jobs while still qualifying for Medicaid.
This isn’t lazy — it’s life.

GOP math:
$800 billion for defense = “essential.”
$80 for mental health = “socialist handout.”
But tell me again how their cuts are about “fiscal responsibility.”
Spoiler: they’re not.
They’re about cruelty.

When a CEO gets sick, they see the best doctor in minutes.
When you get sick, they want you to pray it away or GoFundMe your pancreas.
Medicaid is the only safety net many families have.
They want it gone.

We don’t lack money.
We lack morals.
Tax breaks for billionaires pass without debate.
But helping kids with disabilities?
That’s “controversial.”
The cruelty is the point.

They fled D.C. rather than fix their own mess.
Because if they stayed, they'd have to face the families they’re betraying.
And those families are angry, awake, and organizing.
This fight is far from over.
