| Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil’s Medicaid cuts are being implemented, and it’s becoming crystal clear just how cruel their agenda is.
Recent reporting as these cuts are implemented reveals that Washington 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 Van Orden and Steil’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 Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil 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. Wisconsinites have had enough of this cruel agenda that puts the wealthy and powerful ahead of families going through cancer treatment.” |
