"Medicaid work requirements will be particularly harmful to the ME community forced to prove we are too disabled to work – which is why we launched our Freakin' Frail campaign to ensure our community keeps its access to Medicaid after years of already fighting for an accurate diagnosis and disability benefits.
And with that money given to ICE, we have seen cruel and unconstitutional acts committed against caregivers and people with disabilities."

"The cuts to healthcare mean that tens of millions of vulnerable Americans are set to lose their health insurance and get sicker – the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 16 million people will lose their health insurance from these recent cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by 2034.
A Yale University study estimates that tens of thousands of people will die annually due to these Medicaid cuts."

"We are horrified that ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment, meaning immigrants in detention could no longer receive lifesaving services like dialysis, prenatal care, oncology, or chemotherapy.
We also have an #MEAction Minnesota chapter whose members are affected on the ground. And, perhaps even more importantly, historical social justice movements have taught us that it is important to speak out in the face of injustice."
