Many of my posts have been political since November, and I'm happy to read yours. I'll be contacting my very Republican Congressman tomorrow (he's probably getting tired of me). It's possible Ohio Medicaid recipients will lose coverage completely because of the state budget our governor signed into law yesterday plus this heinous federal budget.

Thank you for staying fierce. I'm trying, but gosh I'm tired. This all makes me feel quite old. It's never been this bad in my lifetime.

Thank you so much for advocating for your fellow citizens. I've been working the phones since 7:00 this morning because I have appointments for the rest of the day.

Thank you again Dawn. I hope people listen and flood the phone lines tomorrow. Too many people don’t care because they think it’s just those “other” people who will be impacted.

we need to make them understand this will impact everyone.

Yes, some people don't realize until it affects them personally.

Flood the phone lines. Call early and often.

I predict a large migration of health care providers to parts north and beyond. Many countries are struggling with provider shortages and how thoughtful of this administration and its minions to solve the problem by choking off funding and driving thousands of skilled people out of the country. (Sarcasm intended.) The real tragedy will be American lives lost because they can’t afford insurance or their health care is just … gone.

I know. It's not like we have an abundance of providers now. This will make it harder for everyone to find a provider and get an appointment.

Thank you, but I think it's too late. I'm going to edit the post to include next steps for contacting our reps in Congress.

Argh! It shouldn't be so hard to understand! You've laid things out clearly and concisely. Thanks for the contact list, too.

I think it's too late.

But now it has to pass the house. On to that battle next. Contacting Congressional Representatives.
