Chuong Vo SILENT as Republicans Are Ripping Health Care Away from Cancer Patients

As the Trump Administration moves to implement a trillion dollars’ worth of cuts to Medicaid, Republicans are plotting to rip health care away from as many people as possible – including chronically sick Americans

With the deep, harmful cuts from Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill now being implemented and ripping away health care from over 41,000 people in CA-45, it’s becoming crystal clear how cruel their legislation truly is and who they are targeting. Chuong Vo has made clear he would fall in lockstep with this agenda, saying he is “proud of…this Administration,” and falsely claiming the federal government is “working more for the people than ever.”

Recent reporting reveals that Republicans are ordering states across the country to rip health care away from chronically sick Americans – including those who have cancer or HIV – to comply with the Republican law.

One expert summarized to CNN what could happen to a patient impacted by the new, cruel rules:

“They’ll show up to chemo or show up for cancer surgery and find out they don’t have the coverage they need. Their lifesaving treatment will be taken from them.”

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser: 
“Chuong Vo’s allies passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history to give billionaires more tax breaks, and now they are trying to rip health care away from cancer patients to pay for it! CA-45 voters deserve to hear from Chuong Vo on this, who has proven he’d be a reliable vote for this cruel agenda. The Big, Ugly Bill will haunt him in November when Californians reject him at the ballot box.”
