My partner was on Medicaid from the moment he was diagnosed with cancer until the day he died. Without it, he wouldn't have gotten the care and treatment he needed. I will always defend this lifesaving program and anyone who would publicly defend a political party that cuts funding from it while passing tax cuts for the rich (another bill pending in the Senate) should explain exactly why they support said party....in order to get a T-shirt.

Ok...a travel mug maybe? Do I have to write an essay to get one of those as well?

note***this is me being silly and in no way trying to offend...fyi.
