Please contact Senator Portman and urge him to keep his word to not vote for any bill that compromises medicare. Millions of Ohioans are at risk.
The numbers are in on the train wreck that is Trumpcare. And Senator Rob Portman is a critical vote to stop this horrible bill.
A new report released this week, calculates the actual destruction that will be felt in our state. Ohio will lose between $19-$26 billion in Medicaid funding. The Columbus Dispatchreports1 in 4 Ohioans--or 3 million people--will lose health care funding.
Sen. Rob Portman is already on the record stating he would oppose any plan that slashes Medicaid expansion funding. We must make sure he stands by his statement.

This bill is giving tax cuts to the wealthy to take healthcare from Medicaid and touting savings for Social Security when people won’t be alive long enough to collect.
