ablebodied men from being on Medicaid We
have to eliminate uh people on for
example on Medicaid who are not actually
eligible to be there Only 2% 2% of
people on Medicaid are able-bodied and
looking for a job Only 2% able-bodied
workers for example young men who are
who should never be on the program at
all First of all like it's a crime for
someone to have health care in
America Health care is a human right in
America and everyone should have it
Everyone should see a doctor We must end
the indignity of not being able to
afford medicine a doctor's appointment
being able to take care of one another
You know who from Idaho voted to gut
Medicaid for everybody By the way both
of your senators Jim Ris and Mike
Crapo and your House members Russ
Vulture and Mike
Simpson You deserve better
Idaho They know that that's not what you
want They know it is deeply unpopular
They know that it hurts the working
families of Idaho but they are not here
to serve working families They are here
to serve
themselves and the billionaires who pay
them
And they know that the only chance they
have to get away with such an unpopular
and hurtful agenda is to stoke deep
divisions along race identity and
culture to keep us fighting and
distracted It's not going to work
anymore

Republicans are dead set on gutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Let's set it plain. Republicans are not in Congress to serve you. They aren't in Congress to serve working families. Republicans are in Congress to serve themselves, and the billionaires who pay them.
