In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care.
It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

20% of the Dept. of Health & Human Services
24% of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs
26% of postal workers,
30% of the Dept. of Education
That's the "swamp" Trump is draining.
