Democracy is not freedom, it is a tool, and its virtue depends on who wields it. It can defend or destroy, uplift or oppress; it carries no guarantee of liberty or equality. It is up to us not only to uphold a just democracy, but to fight for it and defend it against corruption and injustice.

While others are quoting the Declaration of Independence, I will share these words from John Adams, written in 1814 and kept in the National Archives.😢

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up.
Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.
