David Valadao is Ripping Health Care Away from Cancer Patients

As David Valadao’s cuts to Medicaid get implemented, Republicans are plotting to rip health care away from chronically sick Americans

With the deep, harmful cuts from David Valadao’s Big, Ugly Bill now being implemented, it’s becoming crystal clear how cruel his legislation truly is and who he is targeting.

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 Valadao’s 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:
“David Valadao voted for 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! His vote for the Big, Ugly Bill will haunt him in November when Californians reject him at the ballot box.”
