They thought we weren’t paying attention.
The US House of Representatives voted to strip over half a million Kentuckians of Medicaid coverage, and to make affordable access to health care more difficult. Trumpcare, as passed by the House, will:
- Remove over 600,000 Kentuckians from Medicaid
- Strip insurance from 7 million Veterans
- Take insurance out of reach for the 33% of Kentuckians with pre-existing conditions
- Remove essential special education funding
Congressional Republicans hoped that we wouldn’t notice their in-the dark behavior. Donald Trump hoped that we wouldn’t notice his attempt to re-engineer the American economy with a bill written behind closed doors barely over a week, with no opportunity for public input. Hospitals, doctors, nurses, the AARP, and anyone who has an interest in patient care has come out against this bill.
Help Kentucky Promise take our defense of Health Care Access for All to Republicans across the state.
