Healthcare Not Warfare campaign targets $200B Iran war funding
The Healthcare Not Warfare campaign is pressuring Republicans over a proposal to approve $200 billion for operations related to Iran, warning the package would be paid for with domestic spending cuts. Activists say those offsets would gut Medicaid and remove about 300,000 people from coverage, citing cases of children abruptly losing community-based care. They point to the expiration of enhanced ACA premium tax credits, which advocates say has driven premiums up and contributed to more than 25 million Americans remaining uninsured. The campaign frames the choice as funding a military response versus preserving basic health access, urging lawmakers to protect Medicaid and lower health costs instead.
My son needs community-based care to have a full quality of life. Medicaid delivered that vital care until 2 weeks ago when he was abruptly kicked off. Republicans want to slash this care for Trump's Iran war. Who else has to lose everything before they stop? #HealthcareNotWarfare
You know how angry I am!! We will get you and Critter through and we all need to stand arm and arm with other Americans who are and will suffer the consequences of the Trump regime — except those who will have the day they voted for. Seriously. !!! I love you! #HealthcareNotWarfare

Unbelievable! I’m so angry right now. Yes, how many more will be sacrificed for greedy ass old men. They are looting livelihood’s from innocent lives every damn day.
We are fighting for you and everyone this sham administration is stealing from and hurting. We will never, ever stop fighting for our communities. #HealthcareNotWarfare
And they want YOU/US to pay for a ballroom!! 😡🤬
You son deserves whatever he needs to live his best life. Time for change.
I am furious. Has the concept of a safety net dissolved?
The Trump war will never end as long as he and his family are profiting from it. Sadly your son and others in need of quality of life services are suffering because of FFOTUS and his grifting administration.
