I will vote against the motion to proceed and the final bill assuming it does not change.

My state stands to lose tens of billions of dollars if the provider tax is capped.

600,000 people could lose access to health care as a result of Republicans’ changes to Medicaid.

Deep Medicaid cuts could result in disaster for Republicans in the midterms.

We will suffer losses in the 2026 elections if we push ahead on proposed Medicaid cuts.
