I rise today to recognize Beth Martinko for her advocacy for people with disabilities on Medicaid. Beth's son, Josh, is an adult with severe autism who relies on Medicaid programs for medication and support. She asks all of us not to cut Medicaid. Beth moved her family from Maryland to Anaheim not just because her son loves Disneyland but also because of California's visionary healthcare programs. Beth is her son's primary caregiver and knows just how devastating Medicaid cuts would be to her and her son. In her words, she fears that her son will 'fall out of the network and die.' I call on my colleagues to join me in defending these programs that so many of our constituents rely on, on a day-to-day basis.
