An Open Letter to the House Republicans: You Played Yourselves
IDIOTS
Wow. Just wow. We witnessed it happen. 217-215. A razor-thin margin that could doom millions to a future of less healthcare and greater inequality. The Republican sponsored budget proposal, a thinly veiled attack on Medicaid, has passed the House. Let the record indicate that every House Democrat voted against it. Thank God for it.
Let us be clear: this is not about budgetary responsibility. This is about benefiting the already wealthy while abandoning the most vulnerable to fend for themselves. Extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts, a gift to the super-rich, while simultaneously shredding Medicaid for $880 billion is ethically repulsive. This is a betrayal to the American people.
House Republicans claim to defend family and community values. Nonetheless, they are prepared to wreak massive damage on millions of their own constituents. 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid, including low-income families, the disabled, and seniors, many of whom elected these republicans into office. Deep cuts to this critical program would be disastrous.
Health outcomes are worse when people have less access to care. Poor health outcomes increase mortality. Poor families, people with disabilities, and the elderly are all screwed. Many of these families are Republican, particularly in the South. Medicaid cuts will be devastating, denying countless people access to life-saving medical treatment. It's a brutal bet, a reckless act of political suicide disguised as budgetary restraint. It is extremely terrible.
This is particularly concerning given the already massive healthcare disparities across this nation. To exacerbate these inequities with such brazen disregard for human life is not just shortsighted; it's disgusting. Shouldn’t the Republicans be scared that they will pay the price for this in the 2026 Midterms?
So, in the words of Hip Hop megastar DJ Khaled, we have a message for the MAGA Republicans who elected these jerks to office: Congratulations! You played yourself!
Shame on the House Republicans for putting the interests of the wealthy ahead of the needs of the American people. Shame on them for prioritizing their own political ambitions before the health and well-being of their citizens. And shame on them for endangering the health of millions of Americans, including many of their own followers.
The Democrats should seize this opportunity. They must ensure that every American understands what the Republican Party stands for: eliminating critical services while giving tax breaks to the already wealthy. Do not let them forget this. Do not let them bury this. And we, the American people, will see that they don't. 2026 is approaching. Let's see how this plays out at the ballot box. Your acts will result in consequences. You'll pay the price.
Take note of this moment. House Republicans, remember the agony you've caused. We, too, will remember it.
Signed,
AMERICA
Spot on!
