These efforts imperil military readiness, weaken servicemembers’ morale and betray America’s promises to the people who put their lives on the line for our nation.

This is not leadership—this is sabotage of public health. And it must end, immediately.

It is families who will suffer, especially the sickest Americans, like those with mental health and substance use disorders, cancer, and diabetes, who most urgently need the health care Medicaid provides.
